>>So before any more conservatives jump on the Trump bandwagon, wouldn’t it be better to find out where he stands?

The RINOs don’t get it. It isn’t about WHERE he stands. His popularity is about his willingness to stand UP and stand AGAINST the tide. This is something no RINO will do once he encounters any resistance.

Oh, he is? How come he took the anti-Confederate flag side? How come he won't say anything that would remotely offend gays? How come when two Muslims tried to kill Pamela Geller, he took the Muslim side. How come he keeps going out of his way to say how fabulous Mexicans are? You've been sold a bill of goods.

It isn’t about WHERE he stands.

Wow. That's a heck of statement. You will abandon conservative because of someone's shallow reality TV style. I remember when conservatives hated trashy reality TV style.

You are correct and so is Michael Reagan. Trump is a show boat, a hot dog and a grand stander.

He is no more of a conservative than Rudi Guilani. But by any fair assessment, Rudi had backbone and worked wonders for New York.

It will take a term or two of the current POS mayor before New Yorkers will really appreciate him. The same can be said about our current POS president.

EXACTLY! It’s about the fact that Trump actually STANDS! He stands up!

This is really it, although I think Cruz is willing to stand up. However, it’s also about celebrity. Cruz isn’t anywhere near that level of celebrity yet. We are in a new age. What Trump’s “positions” are is largely irrelevant to the mass of voters. At this point, all I want is someone who will actually fight for SOME of my positions.
