“The man is a lifelong liberal”.

Perhaps, but he is doing the nation a great service by attacking both political parties and actually putting subjects on the table (trade, immigration, and foreign policy) that neither party wants the public focusing on.

The Bush family claims to be conservative (remember compassionate conservatism) but the effect of both father and son Bush administrations was to advance the progressive agenda. As I recall many said McCain and Romney are conservative. How about Colin Powell?

It is early in the campaign season and I won’t make a decision for months. Trump may be a liberal in his heart but at this point in the campaign he has done more to advance conservative positions on the most critical issues facing the country than all of the other candidates combined.

Oh I agree. Believe me, given what I do for a living and my close proximity to the US/Mexican border, I have probably been more adversely affected by ILLEGAL immigration than most. So I am very happy to see the issue of ILLEGAL immigration come to the fore. But what I don't agree with are the MANY who have concluded this lifelong liberal should be the Republican nominee simply because he is putting subjects on the table that neither party wants the public focusing on. He is still, after all, a candidate saying what people want to hear during an election cycle. That's right down there with used car salesman when it comes to credibility (no offense to used car salesmen).
