The United States of America, being the third most populated country on the globe, has a population as diverse and unique as the world itself. This diversity creates a potential political minefield, especially when aspiring to lead the nation. According to Pew Research, the following are some of the criteria, and their impact on the possibility of success of a presidential candidate.
From the above it can be seen that the factors most influencing the voters are military service, experience in office, and business acumen. Donald Trump scores one out of three, but his endorsement by New Jersey governor Chris Christie and Paul LePage, Maine's governor, may take him to an unsteady two out of three.
Regarding his economic policies, there are mixed feelings. He has based his economic reform on three issues, namely, tax cuts, immigration reform, and trade reform.
Trump's tax plan intends to reduce the current income tax roll by nearly 50 percent (over seventy three million households), and reduce the number of tax brackets from seven to only four. It also aims to counteract loopholes used by the very rich.
On the business front, Trump's plan will cut the corporate tax rate to 15 percent, making it one of the best in the world. This rate will apply to all businesses across the board, enabling freelancers, sole proprietors, unincorporated small businesses, and pass-through entities to take advantage, unlike the current system, in which they are taxed at the personal income rates....

Trump will not win Texas.
Trump will not win Texas.
JFK was upsetting the applecart and ended up dead. Wasn’t it about the federal reserve??? Didn’t trump call for an audit?
But he'll get his ass handed to him by the 47% that will never vote for anyone without a "D" next to their name and the independents that can't bring themselves to vote for an obviously clueless circus clown.
Principles matter. integrity matters. Trump has neither.
Can they? Only an idiot discounts his filling stadiums versus the other candidates barely able to fill nursing homes and asks that question.
Exactly.
America can get behind it. Will the Republcian party leaders? That’s the billion dollar question.
Yet he's the only one making an issue of Christian beheadings and persecution...
Go figure?
At the worst, Trump will get about the same number of votes, so they'll split the Texas delegates.
There is NO other state that Cruz is going to get on TUESDAY !
And Trump MIGHT even win Texas.
I dunno, but some Cruz fans will never get over it...
He and Rubio are INELIGIBLE to hols that office and nether can win the general election, if the nominee.
Boy, should he be nominated, Trump would have three of the four most negative traits: In their 70s; Extramarital affair; and Never held office. That’s not very promising.
What you posted may or may NOT be true; however, Ted's father was NOT an American citizen at the time of Ted's birth....IN CANADA!
Ted's father has TWO failed marriages, two divorces, and ran out on his two sets of kids, by two different women; left both flat for YEARS!
He belongs to a weirdo religious sect, claims that Ted was "anointed by GOD", to be a "king", and is nuttier than a fruit cake!
Ted's mother is no prize either.
YES! Trump can lead us out of the darkness of Liberalism using the light of Capitalism. He will shake things up and make a new Nation, a new GOP and a new way of thinking—the American Way. President Trump is the only answer to our problems. When done, he will ballance the budget, and bring back factories and jobs. In the end—they will call it the Age of Trump and his face will be carved on the side of mountains.
You really ARE completely clueless! LOL
DIRTY TRICKS/TPA TED has NO principles nor intergrity at all and he LIES!
When Trump starts making his case to the American people, not just Republicans, his message is going to resonate. We’re not the only ones who think Washington is broken.
Trump’s ace in the hole is the fact he hasn’t designated himself a Conservative Republican.
I know that is troubling to some Conservatives, but this means that he has not alienated the reflexive person who would be very unlikely to vote for a Conservative Republican.
So we get a guy selling our ideals in his platform, and still appealing to some Leftists.
Those figures at the top of this page are going to change drastically as Trump addresses these segments of our society.
There was a time we were told he could never win the nomination. Now they’re telling us he can’t win the general election.
How often have they been right with their predictions in the last eight months?
Trump is going to mop up in the general election folks.
Nobody wants four more years of Obama. Hillary is out to lunch, and hasn’t gotten the memo.
The shot that assassinates Trump will be the first shot in CW II-—a violent uprising will make the death of MLK look like a garden party. An attack on Trump should be the last thing they should consider.
