Trump's major problem is that he's said so many things over the years that he often contradicts himself.
Remember, this is the guy who said he supported nationalized health care then complained Obamacare didn't go far enough.
Its hard to explain (or even keep track of ...) his flip/flops over the years. I think that'll eventually catch up to him. What's fueling his momentum right now IMO is what he said during a recent interview with Anderson Cooper (?) in which he said very emphatically that the American Public doesn't trust the media.
That's true. I had seen either a Gannett or Rasmussen poll not long ago that showed more than 70% of the American Public doesn't trust the "mainstream news."
As I said, Trump has his finger firmly on the pulse of a large majority of the American electorate. Do I think he's sincere? Yes. For now. Color me skeptical with a healthy dose of I don't like a single candidate running on the Republican side. (Voting for a Democrat is something I'd NEVER consider.)
He’s not a professional pol and he lives in a very liberal city and state. I can take Trump’s sometimes half-thought and turned around positions better than I can Scott Walker two years ago advocating citizenship for illegals already here—and then virtual open borders, by wanting to allow everyone from “Mexico or any other country in the world” who wants to come here to do so legally, so they won’t have to bother coming here illegally. Yeah, as a typical calculating pol Walker’s trying to make noises about how he’d somehow consider jobs for Americans as he goes about his immigration policy—but we know full well where Walker really stands, and where his funders are confident he stands.
Compared to that sort of ish, a big-time businessman who has spouted off sometimes moderate views over the previous decades doesn’t so much bother me. After all, he was a Reagan supporter back in the 80s.
“which he said very emphatically that the American Public doesn’t trust the media.”

A good percentage of the American people doesn’t trust politicians either.
