1). The guy has basically financed his own nomination campaign and owes no favours.

If you buy into the "self-financed" con of Trump filling his own pockets with his supporters' donations then you'll believe anything.

There are numbers out there in public which you can go and look up. He invested nearly 100 million dollars of his own money. If you care to verify.

Yep. He was more specific: he said "Republicans."

As an aside, people like @Apple][ don't get it yet, but the first ones to get grabbed by the nether regions by Trump will be the group of breathless, uninformed, rabid voters like him. Trump is already walking back huge swathes of promises, including on climate change, water boarding, etc etc. (See his interview with the New York Times yesterday). 

Walking back on promises? The News paper which printed negative things about him, twisted everything about him for last year. Finally realized their mistake as their ratings are down. There is only one way to learn for most people and organizations, that is, when it hits home. And purpose of the interview was to cement the relations with him.

He knows, whatever he says, New York Times will twist it. This time he was being diplomatic, after all he is the president of The United States Of America.

However, I expected more sense from you to know that already. But well..

Here's the complete transcript (which he has neither questioned nor corrected, hence it must be accurate): http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/23/us/politics/trump-new-york-times-interview-transcript.html?_r=0

I don't expect you'll read it, though. I'll wait for a response, in the unlikely event that you did read it.

Trump on climate change: "I have an open mind to it." - You call it walking back?

Trump on waterboarding: "If it’s so important to the American people, I would go for it." - He is leaning on the toughest colonel we have. He is taking his sage advice and that you call backtracking?

The leftist agenda is more messed up than I thought. I'm not going to respond to your every leftist rant. Unless you have something substantial and intelligent to say. I do think you are an intelligent person. But may be you are just influenced by biased media instead of understanding things on your own.
