All I know is that he has been quite successful in the world of business and its likely he will do a good job as potus.Some of us are tired of professional politicians who never leave not matter what.
As far as your guy with proven conservative values you better review his immigration and trade values again, you seem to have missed a few things.In addition to who he owes money to and forgot to mention.

Nobody has forgotten Trumps a businessman.....he presents that every time he speaks. Even so, if he does business in any way that he speaks, even to his supporters, it’s no wonder he’s avoided by bankers, business people etc. and why he has no choice but revert to unsavory ways to get what he wants.
He may not be taking donations but he sure is spreading his wealth around to influence the media, others and the outcome of this election more favorable to him then it actually is.

"Who does not back eminant domain?"
How convenient of you to leave out
"FOR PRIVATE USE" ! Look at a REAL CONSERVATIVE'S POSITION.
Ted Cruz: President Can IGNORE Unconstitutional Supreme Court Decisions
Thursday, 10 December 2015, by Selwyn Duke
Are we Americans meant to be governed by the rule of law or the rule of lawyers ?
For a long time now we've been under the latter, with the belief thatwhatever five unelected judges on the Supreme Court say must go for 320 million citizens.
But presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz (shown) has now challenged this opinion,
siding with no less a figure than Thomas Jefferson,who long ago warned that such an opinion would make our Constitution a "suicide pact."
Cruz fired his shot across judicial supremacy's bow in a recent appearance on EWTN, a global Catholic network, while being interviewed by Princeton University professor Robert George (video below. Relevant portion begins at 13: 52).
CANDIDATE CONVERSATIONS 2016 WITH ROBERT GEORGE - 2015-11-25 ( 52:05 )
Asking Cruz about "judicial power," George pointed to the Supreme Court's checkered past rulings, mentioning the Dred Scott case, the 1905 case of Lochner v. New York, Roe v. Wade, and this year's Obergefell v. Hodges faux-marriage decision.
The professor then said, as presented by Crisis magazine:
Some people say that a president must always accept the court's interpretation of the Constitution
no matter how dubious that interpretation is;
that we have to treat it as the law of the land,binding not just on the parties to the case
but on other officials of government, beginning with the president.
Abraham Lincoln though, as you know, vehemently disagreed with that idea of judicial supremacy, saying thatto treat unconstitutional court rulings as binding in all cases,no matter what,
no matter how usurpative,
no matter how anti-constitutional,
would be for the American people - and I quote now the Great Emancipator -"to resign their government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
George then asked if Lincoln was right and if Cruz would defy the court on Obergefell, to which the senator responded:
I agree with President Lincoln
and courts do not make law. ...
The court interprets the law, applies the law. ...
And, you know, this is an area of really striking divide in this presidential election. ...
They're [sic] quite a few Republicans who, when the gay "marriage" decision came down,they described it as the settled law of the land.
It's final;
we must accept it,
move on and surrender.
Those are almost word for word Barack Obama's talking points
and I think they are profoundly wrong.
I think the decision was fundamentally illegitimate.
It was lawless.
It was not based on the Constitution.
I agree very much with Justice Scalia, who wrote a powerful dissent saying, this decision is a fundamental threat to our democracy. ...
And indeed, Justice Scalia, in the penultimate paragraph of his dissent
, predicts, harkening back to President Lincoln defying Dred Scott,that state and local officials will REFUSE TO OBEY this LAWLESS decision.
It is remarkable to see a Supreme Court justice saying that would be the consequence of this.
In point of fact, Justice Scalia issued a stern warning to the Court in his Obergefell dissent, quoting Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 78 and writing,"The Judiciary is the 'LEAST dangerous' of the federal branches because it has'neither Force nor Will, but merely judgment;
and must ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm'
and the States,'even for the efficacy of its judgments.'
With each decision of ours that takes from the People a question properly left to them -
with each decision that is unabashedly based not on law, but on the 'reasoned judgment' of a bare majority of this Court -we move one step closer to being reminded of our impotence."
The reality is thatthe judiciary has no men under arms;
it cannot enforce its rulings.
Enforcement is the executive branch's role,
and the Court has no ability to coerce a president into acting on its decisions.
But isn't this just a matter of might makes right?
Doesn't the court have the legal authority of its judicial-review power to nullify or invalidate a legislative or executive action it deems unconstitutional?
Doesn't this give it the moral high ground?
The Constitution is our land's supreme law, above, of course, the Supreme Court;
this is why the Court will rule against a law citing the Constitution's authority and not merely its own.
Yet where does the notion that the Court has judicial-review power -
and that all three branches of government must be constrained by its judgments - come from ?
It is not in the Constitution but was declared by the Court on, in essence, its own authority - in the 1803 Marbury v. Madison decision.
So the Court gave the Court its oligarchic powers.
And "oligarchic" is not too strong a word, nor a new characterization.
As Thomas Jefferson wrote two centuries ago,"To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions [is] a very dangerous doctrine indeed,
and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy."
He further said that if the judicial-supremacy thesis is sound,"then indeed is our constitution a complete felo de se" - a suicide pact.
For judicial supremacy gives to one branch alone, continued Jefferson,"the right to prescribe rules for the government of the others,and to that one too, which is unelected by, and independent of the nation. ...
The constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist, and shape into any form they please."
And the twisting continues apace as our Republic twists in the windand we are governed by the ruler and not the rule.
Justice Scalia made mention of this in his Obergefell dissent as well, writing,"It is not of special importance to me what the law says about marriage.
It is of overwhelming importance, however, who it is that rules me.
Today's [marriage] decree says thatmy Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court."
One of the basic ideas behind our American government is "balance of power," both between the feds and the states and among the three governmental branches.
Judicial supremacy makes a mockery of this,confusing the Supreme Court with the Supreme Being
and giving one branch - whose prominent members aren't even elected by the people
and cannot be recalled by them -
complete TRUMP POWER OVER the other two.
To consider it legitimateis to believeour Founders FOUGHT ONE TYRANT living overseasIN THE NAME OF ESTABLISHING A TRIBUNAL OF NINE TYRANTS on our own soil.
But they didn't, which is WHY judicial supremacy was NOT written INTO the Constitution.
To accept it is to yield to circular reasoning:"The courts have the ultimate say in the meaning of law.And how do I know?The COURTS have told me so."
" ... THAT IS FIVE UNELECTED JUDGES DECLARING THEMSELVES AS 'THE RULERS' OVER 320 MILLION AMERICANS ... " SO ... you can now SEE that
TED CUZ does NOT support "EMINENT DOMAIN" FOR PRIVATE USE !
That video from 13 minutes 50 seconds until 23 minutes 40 seconds REALLY IS WORTH YOUR TIME.
The whole video is worth your time.

See! This is why i am getting away from FR for a while. Up until now, we could have friendly discussions about things.
So, to keep a bit of friendliness that still exists, i will be away for a while.

You're so right. You point out one of the reasons hidden behind the reasons...many, many alpha males, especially the self-labeled ones, do NOT like other alpha males especially those intruding into their staked-out territories.
Trump and millions of other Type A personalities no doubt have encountered this many times both in business and in political careers.
I was in elective office for two decades and saw this behind-the-scenes phenomenom quite frequently.

(GO, TRUMP, GO !!!)
To: Just mythoughts
Considering the writer stated she has been a fan of Trumps since the 80’s......it is not surprising she has put her “faith” in him as she states clearly...”I believe him. I believe him with ‘everything in me’.”.......
As I've mentioned before it is one thing to trust a person or not...quite another when you put “everything” you're “belief” “IN” an individual....a mere man. But particularly this type of man....for he is a well known narcisst seeking power...and that IS a dangerous combination. She worked hard to justify her position.....but her emotions and faith in Trump has years in developing and her arguments reflect they are clouding her judgement.
Psalm 118:8,9....... It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in manâ¦

To: MinuteGal
Why is it that no matter who speaks of Trump in an unfavorable way brings his supports to twist in knots of ‘false’ reasoning to justify him, when the facts peak clearly otherwise?
This is just clearly denial and or delusion under the hand of one who is the ONLY candidate who calls his supporters...”MY PEOPLE”...over and over again. It's a brainwashing tactic and Trumps using ALL of those tactics cult leaders use.
It's really quite astounding to watch....and history has recorded for us others with this type of magnetism, ....but who would have thought we'd see that human nature can STILL be mightily manipulated when it's “positioned” to buy it.

Well, sometimes ‘age’ does gain wisdom... It is the things she says about GOP, and Cruz that cause me trouble... Gay marriage was birthed out of a Texas lawsuit...
There is more than just one single item that has Cruz’s prints all over. I have no problem if someone can show where this person is wrong.
