There is a serious flaw in your theory. A businessman who made his money building real things in the main street economy (versus shuffling paper on wall street) could never have succeeded by being a fiscal liberal, meaning distribute the wealth of the hard working to those who hardly work.

Then you add Trump’s unabashed nationalism, which no candidate since Reagan has preached, is satisfying the hunger in the populace is why he is winning by double digits everywhere in a giant field of 17.

As for social conservatism, at age nearing 70, almost all rational people morph conservative. Killing unborn life becomes seriously objectionable since your own life is nearing the end. And on the gay issue, Trump has lived his whole life as the red blooded American hetero male.

Look this mans name up then. Jake Butcher and CH Butcher Jr. Jake ran for governor in my state on the DEM Ticket. He and his brother were bankers as in the CEO. WIKI has the most info on him as this happened in 1982. But I didn't learn this from WIKI I remember it well when it happened. I remember the local economy collapse it brought and lasted several years. Read how they made money. It wasn't by interest earned nor investments. Jake was a very charismatic person many trusted and CEO of a large bank. One of the largest in the south at that time.. He was coming up the political ladder about the same time as Bill Clinton.

Jake wanted and insisted on a Worlds Fair and got it via political pressure. He promised the sky. The city nearly went bankrupt. Many individuals went bankrupt. Many were before that saying were going to be rich because the Worlds Fair is coming shelled out thousands to convert their carports into apartments for visitors to rent at several hundred a night. Landlords literally threw out tenants overnight. Jake promised the sky. People would not listen to reason and my ex father in law almost bought into it on the renting thing. There were Airstream trailers hundreds of them parked at many interstate exits. None ever got rented. But huge profits were promised.

Many very soon lost life savings in the S&L failures he and his brother created. Politicians were connected to them as in a then sitting U.S. Congressman from Memphis. A current sitting U.S. Senate Republican received their support as well. That senator is very liberal. Isn't politics grand? I'm cautious at what very rich persons promise.
