of a presidential candidate, I don't know who I would respond.
Its not that I did not think he was smart or a problem solver.
But, I didn't think he would address such a wide range of issues
with a competency only experienced politicians would offer.
I candidly do not know what I'd say. I never gave Trump much
thought as a serious entry in the political world.
As a 'true conservative' I doubted Trump would be a person to
ensure Reagan type conservatism would once again find a
home in the White House! I believed only Ted Cruz could fill
ensure Reagan type conservatism would once again find a
home in the White House! I believed only Ted Cruz could fill
Reagan's shoes.
But, after listening to Trump address more issues than anyone
thought he even understood I have come to believe he could be
the one person to "make America great again".
A lot has happened since his announcement in June 2015 when
he joined a lengthy field of many experienced politicians seeking
the Republican nomination.

Trump was dismissed as an 'entertainer', even though he has a
forty year career as a builder. He was accused of being a charlatan,
a liberal who took a wrong turn. He was said to be "unfit" for the
office. And on and on!

The professionals who follow politics in and out of the media said
his candidacy was dead due to the countless outrageous remarks
he made. Worse, he was not a conservative, the cloak every GOP
candidate professes to be no matter how they perform!

If you listened to Trump you know what he said. If you have not, this
is what I heard!
is what I heard!
Trump said he would 'build a wall, and get Mexico to pay for it'. This
over the top comment was met with ridicule, except where it matters
most, in the rural areas of Arizona and Texas which have been inundated
by illegals, coming to work and transport drugs!

He also said politicians do nothing but talk and take millions for donors who
want to influence them.
This claim resonated across the entire country to people who yearn for
problems to be fixed and hate the money from influence peddlers!
Not one candidate dared to respond about their failures or donor influence.
Trump added Mexico is sending drug dealers and rapists. The media was
outraged at this insult to people who came here to work. But, it got attention.
Trump went on to say highly educated Hispanics are not coming here, only
the most hard pressed and criminals. Trump could have added, Mexico is
failing its own people, indifferent to their plight!

But, consider what is occurring across the country, the "war on drugs" has
been a failure, Mexican drug gangs populate our inner cities! How wrong
can Trump be?
Again, the American people have seen first hand what politicians ignored.
He said the Asian Trade deal is killing jobs in America, even though some
of his opponents favor it. This message resonated so much some labor
unions are endorsing Trump! Not since Reagan have unions endorsed
a Republican!
Trump said Common Core is killing public education and education will once
again be done by the states. This is what parents have been complaining
about, yet the Republican party continues to support it!
Trump said he would be the Keystone pipeline and make our country energy
independent. He probably will
He chastised the American companies moving to Mexico, such as Ford, and
would set high tariffs against them. Don't doubt him!
would set high tariffs against them. Don't doubt him!
Trump even told the truth about 'climate change'. He said it is a scheme to
transfer wealth, any will only weaken US economy, which most conservative
also believe.
With every issue he addressed his favor-ability grew stronger and with each
passing week, one by one each of the 20 challengers dropped out, and we
are left with six!
This is what is happening. Trump is showing you can beat a political opponent,
overcome a complicit media and rally concerned Americans to support your
candidacy. And do it without mentioning you are a conservative or Constitution.
He is doing this in the most unorthodox method; speaking the way Americans
speak in coffee shops and diners across the country.
Is he conservative enough to pass the fraudulent Republican litmus test? Does
anyone actually think the majority of Americans even care?

Americans who support Donal Trump are all true believers, but not all true
conservatives. They see him as the bold alternative to the political deal makers,
whose primary interest are how the deals affect them.

He says he will build a wall, make Ford will pay high tariffs if they build plant
in Mexico, stop all immigration until we get control, will not support TPP, kill
Iran deal, destroy ISIS, stop Common Core, return education to local control, become energy independent, build Keystone, expand fracking, called climate
change a fraud and more.
I am taking this primary as a bystander, enjoying the battle for the nomination. Finally the GOP has life....thanks to Trump! It has been amusing watching the governors believe their success is an asset. They are clueless of the public
sentiment. It are the candidates which stand out which are well ahead.
So many conservatives get upset that Trump is doing so well, and only Cruz
seem able to keep pace. But, as the NY Post story cited Trump is not
using consultants and other methods. His advantage may be NOT doing
what is expected.
First of all Trump REALLY wants the job and doing everything he can to win
it. And despite those of us who cringe at what he is saying he has been
winning over more people than anyone else.

I disagree about turnout, with Trump it will huge. Have you ever heard the
GOP get an endorsement from labor? Well, Trump has, because of the
promise to create jobs.
The big concern I hear is that Trump is not conservative. But, have the
GOP Congress been conservative? The govt. has grown under Bush
and Obama, yet the party refused to reign either in.
Trump is doing more than wearing a label, he has offered solutions to the problems high on the public's list.
He is touching on issues everyone, not just conservatives want fixed!
We could see "Trump Democrats" vote Republican for the 1st time since
Reagan!
Remember, Trump is a builder, yet he is not afraid to address anything he
is asked about.
is asked about.
He
is the only one to go after Hillary directly, and Bill!! People have
been waiting years for this to happen...and it finally is!
Cruz may be the better choice, but if Trump is the president I believe the
country will be stronger and long term dysfunctional governance will end.
country will be stronger and long term dysfunctional governance will end.
Trump will not accept excuses for failure...and will fire people!!
his mettle, fearless and has not even touched his bankroll.
