Thanks for that succinct rundown of Trump’s policy positions. It was very helpful.

Right now I’m burned out with DC Republicans. They actively participated in a political process that created an unsustainable, economy-crushing debt. To say they’re better than Dems is faint praise, when we’re looking at a simply incomprehensible debt burden. I don’t know if Trump would be a radical enough budget slasher. What I do know is that he’s fearless of the MSM, and he’s a rock-bottom patriot who loves the USA. I’m favorably inclined toward him.

Trump did an extensive interview with the newspaper Human Events in March. The whole interview can be read here: Can Donald Trump Save America? Some excepts can be read here: Non-foreign Policy Quotes. Here are some highlights:

Trump on ObamaCare

If I run and if I win there will not be ObamaCare because it’s ruining a lot of companies. I have friends who own small companies, and they’re going to close those companies up because they can’t afford ObamaCare. It will not exist very long if I’m president.

Trump on pro-life conversion

I have changed my mind, yes. And a lot of people have changed their mind. And I’ve changed my mind because I’ve known people that have had children over the last number of years…I am pro-life.

Yes, he says he's friends with Bloomberg and Guliani, and no, he doesn't like George Bush's presidency.

I am waiting for the answer to the following question:

Trump on the Supreme Court Justice he most admires

I don’t think I want to get into that at this moment, I think it’s a little too soon to get into that. I’ll be answering questions such as that if I decide to run. I have to tell you, I know numerous of the Justices and I don’t want to insult any of them to be honest with you by saying that I particularly admire one. There is one that I admire very much, but I don’t want to insult anybody by discussing the one I most admire because I know a number of them.

If the Donald's favorite justice is Kennedy or worse, he's out. If it's Alito or better, I will seriously consider him.

I would encourage you to read the article yourself and make up your own mind. Trump has certainly "evolved" in his views. I know for many on this thread that's an automatic disqualifier. Yet I also know that, although rare, people do change. You make up your own mind on that score. I am amazed at the amount of misinformation/one-sided info that has appeared on this thread.
