I’m not looking for a conservative. I am looking for someone who will take on the Democrats, media, and political correctness. Trump seems to be able to do this.

First, let me thank you for actually addressing the issue. And while I respect your honesty here, I think it makes Jonah's point for him that conservatives are making a mistake thinking Trump is one of them. You more or less have admitted that's not the case, but you have your reasons. And BTW, I love your reasons.

I just think Cruz, for example, gives us the same willingness to take on those very groups - and in fact, has done so for his entire adult life...something Trump cannot say.

Many people seem to have tunnel vision as far as Trump is concerned. For instance, Trump is enthusiastically in favor of Kelo vs. Connecticut which basically give municipalities carte blanche to take ownership away from home owners and give them to business entities (like what Trump owns) for the sole benefit of the business entity. That could happen to anybody.

Trump is a egomanical, selfish weasel who happened hit on the issue that conservatives are most concerned about.

Trump is getting the Ronald Reagan treatment by the same folks. Cruz is my man. But he currently has 1/4 the support. How many non voters are his reality show viewers? That number is large. If he brings them in, landslide.

If Trump endorses a primary challenger, the incumbent will probably lose.

My take is watch and wait. He may flame out. If not, ending the illegal flood alone will make him a grew President.

I understand Trump may not be a true conservative, but I believe he loves this country...he is pro life, pro military/veteran, pro jobs, pro American, and is NOT beholden to the special interest groups. What am I missing? And yes, Ted Cruz is a very good candidate, who stood up during the healthcare debate....but nothing happened, did it? Trump got Obama to show his fake birth certificate AND has opened up the immigration issue wide open. His press conference with the victims’s parents was epic and heartfelt. I loved it. So if I am being fooled, so be it.
