>>> " and there are legitimate concerns regarding his conservative bona fides -"

And, I am a "character" guy ... so that's an issue ....(for both, mind you).

But, again ... look at the alternative ... and look at what WE KNOW the alternative WILL do ... especially after 8 years of Obama ...

Trump can be coached up, and perhaps he will listen to us.

We KNOW that Hillary will NEVER listen to us.

Bottom line is we have one of two choices.

Hillary - absolutely evil, dishonest as they get, probably the most corrupt political animal in history. If she’s elected, this country is doomed.

Trump - He has his negatives, but I have always firmly believed since day one, he does want to do what is best for the country. He’s not a strict conservative, or Republican, has some views I’m not crazy about, but overall I like what ha says he wants to do, and he has a long standing reputation for doing what he says and getting things done, and he understands, as a businessman, one major thing politicians refuse to accept...you can’t spend more than you make.

Trump is what I’ve wanted to see for 30 years. I never dreamed it would be him, but I:ll take it. Too rich to be bought, has the backbone to stand up against politicians and the press, listens to US, the people, which no politician has done in at least 50 years, and wants what is best for the country. Anybody that will fight city hall to keep the biggest American flag made flying is OK with me.

Voting for any of the others is a wasted vote, none of them have a snowball’s chance in hell. Clinton is the end of this country.

So I see no other choice, Trump MUST be our next president.

Dear Washington,

America is coming,

And they’re bringing Donald J Trump.

We understand that, at least for this election, we must be "single-issue voters". That is, we must perform the most important responsibility of all citizens who truly love our country and who are grateful for our precious liberty -- that being to protect and preserve our Constitution with our vote ... and our Constitution surely needs a strong defense from the Left.

Nothing else is as important and nearly all other issues will be irrelevant if our Constitution were to fall to the idealism of the Left.

RE: Trump’s “Character”. See below for the non-advertised and non rally mode of who Trump is and tell me if you’ve ever known a politician that would do these sort of things.

1995
http://www.upi.com/Archives/1995/11/11/More-than-500000-watch-Nations-Parade/4721816066000/
‘Donald Trump saved the parade,’ said parade director Tom Fox, himself a Vietnam veteran. ‘We had asked for donations from 200 corporations, and none of them came through,’ he said.

Same instance
http://www.nytimes.com/1995/11/10/nyregion/veterans-day-parade-tries-for-a-comeback.html
Organizers received no contributions from the 200 corporations they asked, among them military contractors to whom they presented documentation of profits made on weapons used in World War II.
“Zippo, dada, zilch,” Mr. Fox said. “Nothing from Northrup, United Technologies, none of them. To me, it’s a sin.”

This time a million dollars, same parade I think
http://www.businessinsider.com/history-of-nyc-veterans-day-parade-2013-11#ixzz3gRZM8wQn
But soon the UWVC, and the New York Veterans Day parade began to grow, in part because of a $1 million matching donation from Donald Trump, and the parade began to grow.

1985
http://www.nytimes.com/1985/05/07/nyregion/new-york-pays-homage-to-vietnam-veterans.html
The centerpiece of the commission’s effort is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, a glass-block wall, 70 feet long and 16 feet high, which is etched with excerpts from 83 letters - including Sergeant Calamia’s - that were written by or to the soldiers who served in America’s most unpopular war.

‘’It’s not just brick and mortar,’’ said Donald Trump, the real-estate executive who donated $1 million of the $2.5 million raised by the commission, which is also charged with financing programs for unemployed local veterans. ‘’It’s very much a living monument.’’

‘’I was a very strong opponent of the Vietnam War,’’ he said, ‘’but I also recognized that the people who went to fight were great Americans. I always thought they got a bad shake in life and never got their just recognition.’’

Real estate mogul Donald Trump announced Friday that he would offer a $10,000 reward to the Buffalo bus driver who stopped a young woman from leaping off a bridge to her death two weeks ago.
Trump announced his intention via a Tweet that said “The bus driver who saved the woman from jumping off the bridge was a really cool, great guy. I’m going to send him 10-thousand dollars he deserves it!”

2008

Donald Trump doesn’t just have the golden touch for business – he also has a heart of gold.
The real-estate mogul has been housing Former American Idol Contestant Jennifer Hudson and some of her relatives at the Trump International Hotel & Tower free of charge.
“She’s a great girl. And we’re protecting them well” “They are very safe.”
Hudson has been seeking refuge at the Trump holding since her mother, brother and nephew were murdered in Chicago on Oct. 24.

Trump made his plane available for the special trip to New York after the boy’s parents, Judy and Harold Ten, called Trump and told him of their plight.
Commercial airlines refused to fly the child because he could not travel without an elaborate life-support system, which includes a portable oxygen tank, a suction machine, a breathing bag and an adrenaline syringe.

1986
https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/donald-trump-once-saved-a-womans-farm-from-foreclosure?utm_term=.aqk95DonA#.uc9zpkqae
It was September 1986, and Annabel Hill, 66, was facing an auction where she would lose the farm that had been in her family for five generations.
Hill’s husband, Lenard, had committed suicide eight months earlier, 20 minutes before a scheduled auction, in a last-ditch attempt to save his property with life insurance money. The life insurance money wasn’t enough, covering only $175,000 of debts than ran in excess of $300,000, from two years of a drought that Hill said had ruined their livelihood. Even when several hundred acres of the 1,300-acre Waynesboro, Georgia, farm were sold, the now-widowed Annabel still found herself deep in debt and facing an auction.
That’s when real estate tycoon Donald Trump and a series of other personalities stepped in to help save Hill’s farm.
