In 2008, Trump wasn’t running for anything, and wasn’t a politician at all.
He had a business, a multi-billion dollar business, that sadly, because of scoundrel politicians in BOTH parties, needed to be greased to get things done. Why would he want to make enemies of a whole side of them then?
Trump may well turn out to be a disaster; I don’t know. He could wind up being elected and then turn on us and advocate all kinds of soul-killing legislation to destroy the country. BUT...
That’s what Obama is doing NOW. And, the REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP in the HOUSE and SENATE are right there beside Obama, charging headlong into the fray WITH him.
But it seems to me only ONE candidate is willing to call a spade a spade and is NOT beholden to other people’s money, and that is Donald Trump.
Our Republic is dying, and needs emergency treatment—not the same old, same old.
That’s why we need Cruz. Cruz knows that Washington needs to be purged. He’s currently building an infrastructure of hardcore conservatives to replace the leftist bureaucrats and technocrats who invest the government. If the media really knew or understood what he’s doing, they’d go after him with everything. That’s where Trump is useful. He has successfully brushed a lot of crap aside. Fake conservatives like Walker and Perry are gone. Wimpy conservatives like Jindal are out. He’s absorbed support that would have otherwise gone to Paul, Carson, and Bush. He’s stripped enthusiasm away from Bernie and Hillary. However, when it’s time to vote, conservatives need to vote for a conservative.
Well stated. 100% correct.

Trump has been a politician all of his adult life.
