There are really 2 schools of thought on Donald...

He’s a democratic plant looking to split the conservative vote for Hillary ala Perot.

He truly believes in the causes he is fronting, and is attempting to change the political conversation.

I don’t know which it is, but I can say that Donald will never pass the conservative purity test some want, he’s a pragmatist, as are most business leaders.. Yes they get things done and they drive things through, but at the end of the day they are at a certainly level pragmatic. His past is full of stands that many people who call themselves “true” conservatives will not like. He’s not a hard core conservative, and never will be, his father made his millions building government housing... he became successful with the help of his fathers money, not only to get started but to later bail him out when he got himself in trouble.

However, and this is what I think is really behind Donald’s rise, is that he’s speaking without hedging and without worrying about offending anyone. He’s stating things, (whether he truly believes them or not) without worrying that this group or that group doesn’t like.

Given the piss poor, and I do mean piss poor candidate pool on both sides of the isle, who knows how this will play out. I really don’t think he wants the Job, but I am not convinced he’s a plant for Hillary either.

If he does start a 3rd party run, and the numbers show he can’t possibly win, and he keeps running, they we will know what his game is.

Note to the MSM: If he has done nothing else, Trump has transformed himself into a litmus test. The so-called "conservative" Republican politicians on Capitol Hill are showing their true colors. They've spouted the conservative message back home when running for office, but have voted as Democrat-lites once ensconced in Washington. However, these wolves in sheep clothing have reacted so viciously to Trump's popularity (deserved, or not), that their masks have slipped to show who and what they truly are: power-mad politicians who are interested in feathering their own nests to the detriment of those who voted for them.

I don't think the public is being mislead by Trump. I think they understand he is NOT a conservative. But, he is NOT a career politician either. He is what he is and THAT is why I believe he is leading the pack right now. We KNOW he hasn't asked God for forgiveness. How do we know this? Because he told us so instead of PRETENDING to be pious and humble like so many other elected officials. We KNOW he has committed adultery in his marriages. How do we know this? His life is an open book. How refreshing!

Unlike the lying sack of sh*ts that we have as our leading Republican/Democrat politicians. He's no Mark Sanford, John Edwards, Bill Clinton, etc. (hiding affairs and pretending to be faithful). McCain? Graham? Alexander? Corker? - just a few examples our esteemed politicians who give speeches sprinkled with conservative cliches and focus group derived platitudes -- they even claim to be Conservatives at times. But, Trump, is what he is and THAT's his draw.
