I agree with you that people can change and the perfect is the enemy of the good. Trump, however, has only one conservative credential: he’s calling out the establishment. That’s it. It’s great theater. Makes you want to cheer. Other than that he’s a guy who’s been buying politicians and supporting liberal policies right up to the moment that it became convenient for his ego to become a republican. Remember, the GOP embraced Blooomberg as a republican as well. If there was any ideological standard for membership in the GOP trump would fail.
Well, why didn’t he side up with the democrats? He could have just as easily threw his hat into the ring as a democrat, and crushed hillary and sanders without even trying.
No, I think Trump actually has some morals and principles, and he has enough personal wealth to where he can’t be readily swayed by outside influence. That makes him dangerous to the status quo in DC.
The MSM can’t shut him out like they’re doing with Cruz and Walker, he could buy out their network and broadcast Trump 24/7.
