The question this year is: "How does Trump, the buffoon, compare with the alternatives?" On the left, America's enemies have Bernie Sanders, the socialist. Trump would do a far better job with spending and employment, obviously, and that's a start. They have Governor O'Malley, a leftist version of Will Rogers, whose claim to fame is that he never met a tax he didn't like, even a tax on rainfall, and Trump would be far better in all respects. Next, the far left has Hillary Clinton, who has accomplished the remarkable feat of being even more corrupt and sleazy than the impeached husband. Trump is a buffoon, one far too desperate for attention, but he's nowhere near as corrupt as a Clinton, nor have I seen any signs of sleaze that is measurable on the Clinton scale.
How about compared to Republicans? The GOP has far too many big government liberals who are unabashed Amnesty fans. I don't trust Trump on Amnesty, but about half of his statements on the issue have made sense. He argues that Amnesty would increase illegal immigration, and it was nice to hear his sensible reasoning on that topic. He also seems to support some form of legal status. I don't like that, although I expect it from a buffoon like Trump, but it's better than Jeb Bush, Rubio, or Chris Christie.
Trump wants Obamacare repealed and calls it unconstitutional, and he opposes restrictions on guns for the same reason - 100% perfect on two of the three biggest issues today within the control of the president. Trump is the weakest choice in the race among those I would support, because he really is a buffoon, but I would vote for him if he beat Cruz and Walker to get the nomination.
