I have major problems with Trump as nominee and/or President - but I have no doubt whatsoever that he’s done the country a tremendous favor and service - regardless of what transpires from here.

This is a favorite response regarding Trump not being “Presidential.” However, if he has down the country a ‘favor,’ why would he not do the same as President? What are you afraid of? Personally, I think Trump represents the proud, take charge American image I want to see in my President.
Your post has indicated some false choices and false equivalencies...so to what am I afraid of? I wouldn't say afraid, but I am intellectually aware that Trump is still reflexively a liberal. In other words, he's evolved on some issues - fine and dandy - but when something new hits - and it always does to candidates and Presidents - his reflexes are liberal.
Just recently: Scott Walker came up, and Donald Trumpka hit him from the left like a union thug. There is room to the right of Scott Walker, but DT came from THE LEFT. When the economic crash came up, Donald Dodd Frank TARP Trump exonerated ALL DEMOCRATS period from any blame. There is room to the right of Bush on this issue, but Trump came FROM THE LEFT. And when the issue of Planned Parenthood came up, Donald "Clinton Foundation" Trump used the "they do a lot of good work" bullshit to say we should still fund them. There is no excuse for this period.
My friend, these are long time beliefs that he has reinforced recently. You may be riding a horse to whip the RINOs- and discover yourself somewhere LEFT of RINOs when it's all said and done.
we’re afraid of the fact that his number one goal mission is to do whatever is best for Donald Trump...AND...we’re afraid of the fact that he’s held primarily liberal positions, right up until he decided that it would be awesome to be President.
We love what he’s saying but don’t trust him as far as we can spit.
Yep that pretty much sums it up.
I see a few more of us here, stumping for Trump, but all in all, we have a forum that in large part, is looking for that perfect candidate. He or she doesn’t exist.
Trump, is the man of the moment. I’ve heard him speak now enough time to realize that he resonates with a cross section of this country, that includes, liberals, conservatives, tea party, dems, repub, liberts...and all ethnic persuasions who are in this country legally.
The people that disdain him, like my brother, do not want to listen to the man, or read his words in print or anything. They have their head in the sand...thinking that one of the other candidates will rise up out of the pack, like Ted Cruz.
Trump, for now is the man of our times.
BTW, please note that my concerns had nothing - as in zip zero nada - to do with a notion of “Presidential.” You read something into my post that just simply was not there.
