” Would you still support Donald Trump if he was running as a Democrat? “ -—————
THAT is an excellent question. Should Trump go down there is Cruz, so that is a factor here, in my answer.
But, speaking for myself, usually the answer has to be “NO”, because any given Democrat is always at the mercy his donors, as are Republicans, and of their Pelosi styled DNC, and also the Wall Street pals who put him in place, and who would support Pelosi/Reid style candidates, and would place in position a sycophant cabinet.
None of that applies to Donald Trump as a “Democrat” candidate.
Given what Trump has said and the awakening he has brought, because he is independent, both financially and intellectually, I might wait awhile to support him, but yes, I could consider supporting Trump as a Democrat, early next year, all things remaining the same as today.
Next?
If Trump goes down Cruz will still be at 7%. The GOPe is leaving him alone currently because he is a non factor. My suspicion is that at least half of Trump's support would go to Bush if the Donald fell out.
