This won't satisfy Freepers who long for an ideologically pure candidate. Personally, I'm pretty comfortable with him, especially since he is the ONLY Republican who so far can get away with telling the media and the Left off on any issue and not only getting away with it but prospering.
I keep saying, if he and I agree on 3/10 issues---but the only three he focuses on are mine---I could care less what he thinks about the other seven.
So let me translate your logic.....you will gladly support someone more liberal than most RINOS simply because that person has the ability to get under the skin of most RINOs, as well as the Jurassic media and the libs.
Okay. 3 out of 10? Damned low bar. And BTW, your “purity” comment is beneath contempt. 3/10 is not only impure, it’s PERVERTED and POISONED and POLLUTED.
Agree with your analysis. Trump is strictly a pragmatist. We will see him "evolve" during the campaign. If he were President, I can see him making deals across the board. Without any real ideological mooring, his deals could be disturbing to many of us.
I don't want an ideologue as President, but his actions should be circumscribed by basic principles and beliefs.

There is no perfect candidate. I thank you for your post; it makes a lot of sense.
I agree with you.
Let the hyperpartisans hyperventilate. It’s ok.
In which part of your 3/10 reside Trump’s support of abridging property rights (Kelo) and “universal” (read: single-payer) health care? Would that be the part in which you agree with those stances or that in which you don’t care?
