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....

I guess 35% of Republican primary voters can, probably less when you count the votes in open primaries which skew the results.
I guess we’ll see Tuesday...and then again in November....
“Donald Trump — Can America Get Behind His Presidential Bid?”
Depends how you define “America”. If “America” is the Illegals, then no...they will never support having to go home. If “America” is the media, then no, the media will NEVER get behind a Republican. If “America” is the GOPe, then no - they need their gravy train to feed their families.
But if “America” means AMERICANS - we’re already there, as will be shown in November.
Looking forward to Cruz winning Texas on ST along with a couple other states. We have a way to go before the nomination is sewn up. GOPe could pull all sorts of mischief at the convention.
Well put Bob
“In selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate, look to his character. The scriptures teach that rulers should be men who rule in the fear of God, able men, men of truth, hating covetousness. It is to the neglect of this rule that we must ascribe the multified frauds, breaches of trust, and embezzlement of public property which tarnish the character of our country and disgrace government. When a citizen gives his vote to a man of known immorality, he abuses his civic responsibility, he sacrifices not only his interest, but that of his neighbor; he betrays the interest of his country.” Noah Webster, 1823
National enquirer reporting scalia was murdered.I hope trump is very well guarded from those that don’t want him to be President
Liars figure and figures lie.
Trump went to the New York military academy even though he never served.
He’s a very very successful business executive.
He went to the Wharton School of Business and economics is a huge issue this election.
He is Christian and has been outspoken about Christian issues. And has been doing well in the primaries among Evangelicals.
And he’s never done drugs or even uses alcohol.
Definitely likes women and is not gay.
They better if they want to survive as a nation.
Thanks!
Well, I just hope the so-called republicans in Congress hold true and do not let Obama get a flaming liberal in there before the election....
You want to know what real chaos looks like...If Trump is assassinated, you’ll see REAL chaos in this country.....
If we have to.
Ummm...NO!
Very well said!!!
If Trump is strong enough to take Texas Tuesday its all over for the fat lady in November.
Trump will not win Texas.
