So far I have liked what Trump has said. Conservatives always eat their own. I can imagine this board if it exsisted when Reagan ran (it didn't). But many here would say they would never vote for an actor. I think it is time for a NON POLITICIAN to be in charge.

The Founding Fathers did not envision that a political class of career politicians would be running our government. They envisioned that ordinary citizens would run for office, serve for a time, then go back to their former lives.

I think it could be refreshing for a non-politician to be president or serve in other offices.

Some will say Trump has no political experience, as if that should disqualify him.

Well, President Eisenhower had no political experience before he ran for president. Would anyone say that the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, who planned and executed the Normandy invasion, did not have the requisite management and executive skills to be president???

Trump’s story is different of course. But as a successful businessman who runs a business empire, who has a deep understanding of the economy and business dealings, he would bring some experiences to political office which the likes of Hillary Clinton can never have.

I feel the same way....I liked what he said in his speech, he isn't running on anyone else’s dime but his own, so he's not ‘bought and paid for’, most of the GOP and demonRATS are scared to death of him, and he hasn't built a ‘nest’ in the government the way the rest of them have...

I find him refreshing, he says what he thinks, and I think he could ‘clean out our government’ of years of old rot and decay...

He's for jobs for America, not the EU, and that means food on the tables of people working 2-3 jobs a day just to do that, people don't like him because he is self-built, and he is ‘natural born citizen’ of the U.S. unlike what that crap we have in the Oval Office now...

He's smart, and if he doesn't know much about foreign policy, he will and most likely be better at it than ‘bow down to every dicitaor’ like we have now...

I'm researching him as much as I can, but I like him, I went to Ronald Reagan movies, I like them; I have watched Trumps T.V. shows and have been inside his casinos, I like them, and as far as being married 3 times, all I can say if some woman can say she's black and she's really white; and some jerk can say he's a woman when he's not....well then its ok if he's been married 3 times...

I could go for a non-politician, but one with a strong military background. The nation needs an Eisenhower or a Patton.

I think Trump message is spot on.

My husband does not like him. Rush L. does not seem to be supporting him and generally my political barometer.

Yeah, I wonder why, is it the male ego that you guys dont like it? Just trying to guess. I dont see any of the other candidates standing out but I like many of them.

Get real, do you know anything about Reagan and conservatism? Evidently not.

I won’t vote for Trump. He is a populist, not a conservative.
I voted for Reagan. And he wasn’t just some actor.

Reagan was an Army Officer between the world wars. During the Second World War he returned to the service to make mission simulation films for the army air corps, to aid in navigation.
