Despite his Democrat roots, Reagan had a proven conservative record as the governor of one of the most populated states in the U.S.

Trump talks a good game, but how do we know how he will govern? He’s never held an elected office.

True enough and a good point.

The only thing we have to go on are his words and those whose views he has chosen to align himself with (Jeff Sessions, Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin), but even that isn't any guarantee as to how he would govern. Look at George W. Bush with all that "compassionate conservatism" crapola, how did that work out for us? He spent more money and expanded the role of the federal leviathan even more than the original Texas a$$hole, LBJ did. GWB didn't even find his veto pen until sometime in 2006.

You're right, we can't predict how Trump would actually govern if he were in the Oval Office, but for right now he is taking the fight to the liberal go-along-to-get-along crowd at the RNC, the RINO elites are crapping their pants, and to paraphrase Gunny Hartman from 'Full Metal Jacket' as he promoted Private Joker to squad leader, "he may be silly and ignorant, but he's got guts, and guts is enough!"
