Here is the thing about all those previous positions: Trump is just waiting for thiose questions. I think he salivates over getting them. Because he's going to be the only candidate out there who can (and will) legitimately say, "Yes I did endorse Obama in 2008 and like many Americans I am very disappointed in what a terrible job he has done. He let us all down and now we need to fix what he messed up." Or, "yes I had high hopes for Hillary, but as we have seen she was a disaster."

Trump is not an ideologue and is no conservative. Few think that.

He is a business-oriented problem solver. I would rather have a guy in there with whom I believe on three issues, but who fixes those three issues, than a guy who shares 100% of my views but can't stand up to the media and elites to get anything done.

Jonah is right, anger is not an issue. But you know what? Neither was "hope and change" or "a chicken in every pot" but they win elections because Americans anymore don't seem to have the capacity to talk issues, only passion and personality. Heck, Reagan ran on one line: "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?"

Goldberg us stuck in policy wonk world where this or that candidate's cute little tweaks impress him.

Yeah, but it seems to me that crony capitalism is his favored means of using “business” to solve problems. Maybe that’s OK if you think the end usually justifies the means, but mark me as one who would demur.
