“What I think is the guy has no “ideological philosophy” in the sense we’re used to from political figures.”

Yep. Trump is so different from the types of candidates we’re accustomed to seeing. And he may not be my first choice. BUT I’m loving the idea of a business type in office. “The business of American is business.” (Coolidge, right?)

“The business of American is business.” (Coolidge, right?)

It's a quote from Ronald Reagan's favorite president Calvin Coolidge. But oft-misquoted passage is used by the left to discredit the man as a tool of crony capitalists. The full passage is far more involved and speaks truly of the American spirit:
