In part, Trump is leading because everyday Americans are fed up with self-coronated political Royalty of both parties.
I’m a Cruz guy but could easily see myself voting for Trump if he’s the nominee, or if he’s running and as indy against a GOPe candidate and Hillary. Trump is authentic, he’s a PATRIOT and he’s not a slimy politician. He will self fund his campaign and owe nothing to anybody! That alone is glorious imho.
