Trump is a businessman and a very successful one. Good for him. He is not one of those business owners that Obama and Elizabeth Warren can say, "You didn't build that, the government did" to, because he did build that. Most substantial businessmen support both political parties because they don't know who will be elected or who they will need to be in good stead with when the time comes. Nothing wrong with that. Besides, if the liberal politicians can "evolve" on issues, why can't he?

He is not a politician. He may not be the perfect candidate. And he may not speak the Left's PC rhetoric when he campaigns. But even with his alleged faults, he is someone refreshing for a change than to have the same old boring establishment GOP candidate or the ones the liberal media foist upon us in every election. He may eventually fall out of the race or not make it past the primary or even quit if he doesn't think he has a chance to win. But for now he is garnering support from what used to be called the "silent majority" in this country and he needs to keep electrifying the crowds and make the other candidates step up to the plate and come to him. Sniping in the background won't cut it with this guy.

My coming to Jesus moment will only come when I have to finally choose my candidate for the general election. It is way too early to predict what will happen between now and then. I only see a couple other candidates that I like enough and think might have a chance to win, that I would vote for.

But for now though, this is just a campaign and Trump seems to be the lead horse right now. When and how will the other 15 GOP candidates break out of the back of the pack? I am waiting to see if anybody will and how they'll create as much excitement as Trump has so far. Most of them will be gone by the first of the year, if not sooner. Lack of support, lack of funding, lack of notoriety, lack of the skills it takes to be leader. With 16 candidates in the primary race, the lead pack will solidify soon. The rest are running to lose at that point.
