I never doubted his drive and wealth motivation. I just want to know if he will be a strong strict constitutionalist, appoint conservative justices and surround himself with constitution loving conservatives on his cabinet, flush the State Department, DOJ, and now Pentagon leftist /communists.
Will he do what is right or will he reach across the isle to work with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid?
Which isle? The Isle of Patmos? Isle of Man? Skye? Wight and Capri are way too big to reach across.
He can win the Presidency without kissing up to the GOPe establishment and the Democrats. But he’s been doing it anyway. He will compromise too much. He could have a bigger landslide by excoriating the statists and whipping people like me who are angry our country is going down the drain. Instead he pulls back and liberalizes his base and tries to be everything to everyone. No, that’s someone I can’t trust.
Mr Single Payor 2000? Lemme guess.

What I want from Trump:
1. Build the wall
2. Bring back jobs - through tax policies, etc.
3. Go through the budget and do whatever he has to do, cajole, yell, scream, to get out spending where it should be - cut out whole depts that shouldn’t even exist. This includes no more planned parenthood funding.
4. Diminish the influence of lobbyists - which is part of #3
5. Stop the incoming hoards of welfare recipients and terrorists from 3rd world countries - and this is connected to all of the above.
6. Our military needs to be rebuilt - we’re going to need it I’m afraid.
7. Make it ok to be a proud American again - and everyone taking pride in who they are including white people.
8. Appoint constitutionalists to justice positions - including SCOTUS.
This is a partial list. It would almost seem weird to not hate our government anymore and have some faith that they were working for the good of the country and not their own wallets.
For all of his failings, ingratitude is not one of them. If Conservatives elect him, he will not abandon them as the GOPe has done.

Whether one likes Trump or not, one thing is for sure he’s not often fettered by rules or conventions.
This should give people an inkling on how he would govern. Given that the constitution is the most fundamental rule of this country (or at least it was), and given his penchant to disregard rules and conventions, do you think it would be in his inner nature to strictly and voluntarily abide by the constitution, or do you think he would whenever possible and whenever he could get away with it, skirt the constitution if it didn’t allow him to do something he wanted to do?
Does that sound familiar?
How often have you heard him mention the constitution during his campaign? (Cruz mentions it all the time).
So what’s going to rule Trump’s behavior is going to be his innate value system, just like it has Obama, (and actually everyone else). To the extent that his value system coincides with the constitution he will be a constitutionalist.
So if you want a constitutionalist, the question you must answer is to what extent do you think Trump’s innate values coincide with the constitution. And are there others running whose values are more simpatico with the constitution?
Will he do what is right or will he reach across the isle to work with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid?
Also, will he reign in spending and cut the size of the federal government? His life goals, project by project, were to grow an empire and he borrowed a lot of money to do that. I'm worried that his instincts, while fine for growing a business, will be the opposite of what is needed to downsize the government, cut spending, and get things under control.
You cut and paste that on every thread. And you’re not concerned, you’re a concern troll.
What the heck are you talking about? He's a businessman. Do we HAVE to have a freaking lawyer or career politician in EVERY single stupid election? Enough already. they have driven us into the ground.
