Trump is a pragmatic business man. Liberal, perhaps on social issues but he knows that to be successful in a capitalistic system, the state has to be strong i.e. military and economics. Hence, he is not a supporter of the welfare state, he does not run title 8 housing programs etc.
That said, before I jump on his bandwagon, I want to hear his 2A stand. Carson lost me when he began pontificating against guns sometime ago. Right now, Trump has the focus of the country on the border/illegal/trade issues and that suits me just fine because it makes the rest of the wind blown reeds take a stand. If they don’t support his stands, they drop off my radar.
