I would bet there are a lot of people like me who have not aligned our support with any one candidate yet. I have no problem voting for Trump and I think I understand the Trump appeal to voters across the country: blue and white collar as well as anyone even slightly conservative.
My point being the Trump support is broader and deeper than the media or pundits realize or understand.
That’s for sure. Trump even crosses party lines with his support. He may be the ultimate candidate if he can just shut up for a while. He keeps saying dumb stuff.

To back up your point & what I find so interesting is that a lot of people have other candidates as ‘first choice’ ... especially Carson or Cruz. Every single one I’ve talked to that really likes someone else would ALL vote for Trump in a heartbeat if he was on the ballot. Nobody is contemplating ‘sitting home’ out of protest if Trump is the nominee & their personal favorite is not.
Sorry, been outside in the garden.
I do understand your point and agree with it.
I’m actually amazed at how many what-I-expected-to-be-Obama-voters express a strong, favorable opinion of Trump. It is those I know to be strongly conservative, not-FReepers Republicans who I actually have to convince that Trump is not a disaster. Maybe for the backstabbers in the Party, but not conservatives.
In other words, here in Alabama I’m surprised at how many Trump supporters I find among blacks, college students and professors (I’m still teaching part time at the university), blue collar people and fixed income seniors.
It makes me think that unless he massively slips up, he’s got this in the bag.
Historically, no one does to this early in a campaign, but for right now...
