I'd just like for you to tell me straight-up that Trump is a Reagan conservative.

Well, lessee, Reagan signed that Immigration Act in 1986 that gave amnesty to over 3 million illegals.

I think Donald Trump could be at least as conservative as that, possibly more so.

Similarly, Donald Trump could be as conservative Reagan on issues such as IRS/taxation, trade, and education. Again, possibly more so.

I would hope that Ronald Reagan wouldn't have supported these phony "free trade" agreements like NAFTA, GATT, and the new one, the TPP. I know Donald Trump doesn't.

I'm sure there would be areas in which Donald Trump was not a Reagan conservative, but there could also be some areas (immigration, for example) that Trump might be more conservative than Reagan.

Don't forget, Ronald Reagan himself had been a lifelong Democrat until he changed to the GOP when he was over 50, and I think that Donald Trump has honestly undergone a similar evolution.

One thing for sure: only Donald Trump threatens to end the status quo in Washington DC.

In DC, everyone in power benefits by scratching each other's backs. Every member of the Uniparty has a spot reserved for them at the feeding trough.

Shaking the corrupt DC power structure to its core is the greatest thing that could be done for the American People by any modern President. Nothing could be more important than that, and nothing else good can happen until that does.

Only Donald Trump can begin this Revolutionary process. At this point, Ted Cruz has not shown good instinct or leadership qualities, has exposed himself as a naked, unprincipled opportunist on several occasions, and, worse, is too beholden to his wealthy donors and his GOPe benefactors, whose tactics and strategy he has adopted 100%.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, can't be bought...

Trump has been funding the status quo in Washington DC.

I guess Trump had a Road to Damascus experience when he met those two Corinthians.
