The main reason I support Trump is that of all the candidates he understands the role that trade policy has on our economy. No other candidate gets it. Cruz certainly doesn’t.
So I don’t care who convinced him to run. He gets it, and the other’s don’t. But their is a youtube of him in 2014 saying that he would only run if the right candidate didn’t emerge. He said he loves what he does, and didn’t really want to stop what he does to run for office. But that he loves America more and if the right candidate didn’t appear he would run. So no, I don’t buy that he’s running because of Clinton, and wouldn’t care if he did.
By the way, if he’s running to give Clinton the election, he’s doing a heck of a job. He keeps pointing out Clinton’s legal troubles and how unfair it is that Petraeus was destroyed for doing much less than her. And then he said the money he donated to her foundation was supposed to be used for good but instead was used to jet around the world. If he is a Clinton operative, his cover is in tact. No rational person would suspect it.
So if you look at his positions, many of which I posted in post 2 in this thread. Many of those have been held for a long time. Yeah, he’s a late arrival on abortions, but he was for limiting them some back in 2000.
The things that matter he has conservative positions on.
Rick Santorum (and maybe some others) is STRONGLY against H1B Visas, and that’s a big deal. Santorum is the ONLY one that received an “A” rating from Numbers USA, and Scott Walker received a “B” rating, also excellent! They get it.
Trump, on the other hand, wants amnesty, when he says the good illegals can stay here. This takes away jobs from Americans and encourages further ILLEGAL immigration.
Romney also changed his positions before running the GOP primaries, but I didn’t trust him either.
Trump is telling us what we want to hear, but does he mean it?
