He is neither a communist nor a lawyer.

“Serious question: Save for the entertainment, what is to like about Trump as a serious Presidential candidate for truly Conservative voters?”

That’s a very good question but there’s a better one below.

Trump is most every bad thing people say he is and at the same time superior to the rest of the candidates with the possible exception of Cruz.

Also, the Republican party is controlled by moderates and Trump is wreaking havoc with the status quo faux conservative power structure of the party.

Full Disclosure: I de-registered from the R party in 2007 when it became evident the leadership had (1.) no interest in even slowing profligate spending increases by the federal government, (2) most Reps were only interested in being part of the D.C. club and enjoying its perks, and (3) Republicans hate the R base while Dems fight hard for every tiny interest group that makes up their base.

I didn’t want to be a member of a party that is selling the country down the river while lying about being conservative.

Those people are scared to death of Trump, and I take that as a good thing.

This is the question you should be asking:

“Serious question: Save for the lip-service, what is to like about Republicans as a serious party for truly Conservative voters?”

Trump is the only candidate who spoke out about the illegal immigration, border and sanctuary cities problems. Trump actually visited the border and spoke to the border patrol. He spoke to people living along the border. He then told the truth about the disastrous policy of uncontrolled borders and illegal immigration.

He was called a racist and other names for doing so. He lost his Apprentice Show and his Miss Universe Contest. He was attacked by everyone in the media and the entertainment industry. But he stuck to his principles. No one else would.

Trump was the only one to raise the problem of one sided trade agreements and companies outsourcing work to other countries and then laying off American workers.

Trump was the only one to address the problem of crime by illegals and sanctuary cities. He had several families of victims who said they were ignored by the government and the media because their loved ones were killed by illegals.

Trump is the only candidate to address the problem of Muslim terrorism. The other candidates refuse to address the problems with spending tax dollars to bring thousands of unvetted Muslims from dangerous areas into the US. He is the only candidate to see the problem of the Muslim invasion of Europe and realize the dangers that it represents.

Trump is the only candidate to realize that U.S. business is uncompetitive and that the middle class in the U.S. is being destroyed.

Finally, Trump is the only candidate to not immediately fold like cheap suit when attacked by the media.

If you want a candidate who will give in and “compromise” every time and who has no principles he will stand up for there are plenty of other candidates to choose from.

There are no “CONSERVATIVES” running...But! to answer your question Trump is the only one suggesting putting muslim immigration on hold. Trump is the only one who wants the law’s on the book’s concerning illegals within our border’s enforced . Trump is the only candidate NOT financed by outside sources albeit he does take small personal donations. Trump is respectful of the money he spends on his campaign and he has dominated ever since... with what I consider “CONSERVATIVE” tone’s. Some of you Freeper’s are as miserable as democrats I swear. Personally I was for Cruz until he made quite a few horrible vote’s in the Senate and then when i saw that Trump was serious I have followed ever since. You do realize we need someone with free reign to go into D.C. and expose and flush out the multiple communist’s and islamist’s that are throughout our entire federal government don’t you? No one individual that has had the traction this man does will ever be seen again if he is snubbed and if that occur’s we as a constitutional republic are finished. I have been voting since I 18 in 1979...Reagan was my first presidential vote...

He's the one most serious about taking on "illegal immigration." The others are "amnesty lite."

He is serious about immigration, against TPA and its version with the Corker Bill, against TPP. He will be the first President in a long time to actually take on the bureaucracy and waste. He will work seriously to regain manufacturing jobs in the US. He will protect from a migrant invasion from the Middle East.

Cruz is a better social conservative and will try to fight but I don’t believe he can get it done.

He's our best bet for closing the borders, which must be done to save America. And he can beat Hillary or Sanders. Cruz, who would probably close the borders as well, might not be able to beat either likely Democrat nominee.

The pragmatic approach to politics. Trump gives me 70% of what I want and he can score 270 electoral votes. Cruz gives me 90% of what I want, but I don't think he can get to 270. His voice and "lawyer-speak" turn off too many people (people say his Harvard law degree is an asset, but I think it's a liability). Clinton and Bernie give me 0% of what I want.

This a math problem that calculates expected value times probability of success. And there's also the entertainment value. Trump will hammer Hillary incessantly in a one-on-one match up - beat-downs I look forward to seeing.

President Trump and Chief Justice Cruz - how about that?
