Trump is not really a Republican. Many of his followers are other than Repub or Conservative. He also has more liberal type Repubs. Thus it makes total sense that he would be in the lead. Has nothing to do with talk radio.
I have a brother and his wife who have been Dems their entire life and have changed voter cards this year so they can vote for Trump. They know he is not a blue blood Repub and so they can vote for him without problem. They want no more to do with Obama/Hillary/Marxist/Muslim leaning people in Washington.
That’s his appeal. Trump is not a blue blood.
While true that he is not a staunch conservative, I think we all may be surprised at how much of a conservative Trump really is, at least I am praying for that to be the case. Hopefully my prayers will be answered.
While at one time being a staunch Cruz supporter, I began to become disillusioned with him when I saw him on the campaign trail and came to the realization that Cruz was a pretender. By that I mean he was not the person he had portrayed himself to be. He was not really a fighter for America or American values. It was like an actor playing a role, and he played it very well until he hit the campaign trail. Then it became all about himself and his quest for power. On top of that when I learned about his citizenship I became convinced that he is not eligible to hold the office because he is not a natural born citizen.
I actually left out a second reason why Republicans support Trump. He is not Republican insider, and Cruz has proven himself to be that as well.
Nobody is who they say they are any more. The Dems and Repubs are all one party not: Uniparty. They are all in cahoots to screw the American taxpayer for their own benefit. I for one am sick and tired of it. We voted in a republican Senate and House to overturn Obama’s bad policies and things just go on the same. NO MORE. People will not admit it but in their hearts they know that the ONLY shot we have up overturning the apple cart is to elect Donald Trump to the Presidency. The way I feel, it is worth the chance because it certainly won’t get better with anyone else in the running.
