Trump has earned his place.
- He started talking about trade policy before the last election.
- He called out Obama on his birth certificate when no politician would dare do such a thing.
- Trump more than any other politician has been talking about jobs and laid out more details on how he would get jobs than any other politician.
- Trump called out the illegal immigration and went a step further blaming the government of Mexico for sending their criminals over. And as a builder with a record of getting things done that governments couldn't like the NYC skating park, Trump is believable when he says he will build the wall. And he issued a formal paper that brings immigration back under the rule of law.
- Trump has highlighted the plight of American veterans.
- Trump has issued position papers on the 2nd Amendment.
Trump has been leading in the polls because he is leading with policies.
