That’s a fair question. I will tell you that I personally intuit that Donald Trump looked around and saw the same thing a lot of the rest of us are seeing. The absolute destruction of our country by a bunch of Communists. I think he does not like it and would like to make things right.
Is Trump the most conservative candidate ever? Probably not but this year I think he is the most earnest. I’m sick of voting for these guys who are supposed to be conservative only to have them turn around and betray me.
I do not think Donald Trump is for gay marriage or for abortion but he is not going to be out there crusading agains’t them night and day. Right now both are the law of the land and the President cannot change it.
So If Donald Trump will secure the border, bring jobs back, fix the Veteran’s administration, build up the military and get rid of Obamacare that’s a good start.
I have no problem letting Donald Trump have four years to see what he can do. We wasted eight years on GW Bush.
If it took him this long to realize this, that doesn't speak too well of him. Why did he think that unlimited Third World immigration was just fine 4 years ago (even the mealy-mouthed Mitt Romney was too "hardline" for Trump on immigration), whereas now he's vocally opposed to it? It's possible that he's had a change of heart, but a more likely explanation is that he has no real political convictions at all on this or any other issue, and just says things that stir up controversy and keep him in the media spotlight. That's my take on him, and I haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise.

That's fair enough, I don't think these should even be Federal issues to begin with. Or at least they weren't Federal issues, until the SCOTUS decided to make them so with Roe v. Wade 40+ years ago and Obergeffel vs. Hodges today. I'd rather these social issues be dropped from Presidential campaigns altogether and left to the states - Presidents should focus on appointed SCOTUS justices who won't legislate from the bench and ignore the 10th amendment.

You may have a point here - George W. set a pretty low standard for what it takes to be called a "conservative Republican." Now Jeb is trying to set it even lower. That's why I find this election cycle so depressing: the GOP front-runners are either Democrats Lite (Jeb, Rubio, etc) or (IMO) a sensation-seeking showman for whom politics is just another reality show (Trump).
