Trump’s numbers come largely from non-voters or registered voters. It’s name recognition that is driving this wave. I am grateful that he’s put PC and illegal immigration on the front burner, they’re both big issues for conservatives.

That said, he’s not a conservative by any stretch of the imagination. Those who are supporting him seem to be doing so for two reasons:

1. His attacks - GOPe (although he’s gone after other candidates who are conservative), the press, PC, illegal immigration.

and/or

2. Projection - they see in Trump a media star hero that they then presume agrees with them on basic policy.

Trump’s policy positions on guns, SSM, welfare reform, taxes and trade are all liberal. He’s even flip flopped on immigration.

If you recall Perot’s run, he too gave hints that he wasn’t all there and would flip flop in the general. He did and we got a Clinton. Learn from history.
