I wouldn't say I support Trump, but I am certainly interested in what he's bringing the the race and cheering him on at this point. Now I also expect him to do his homework and settle down in the coming months. I have also attended Tea Party rallies so I might even qualify as a Tea Partier.

The problem which many on this site have pointed out is that both parties are moving us in the direction of a statist government. You can elect a Republican House and Senate and they are so afraid of being blamed for "shutting down the government" that they fund Obama's programs. What's the point?

It was looking very much like we were going to get to choose between Bush and Clinton. Again. I think both parties have had it with that -- which is one of the reasons that Bernie is doing so well on the left. At least he admits he's a socialist.

Is Trump a conservative? No, but he has been successful and he knows you have to make money to spend it. That's a hell of a lot more than most politicians. At this point I'd like to see something different. While he's been compared to Barack Obama because they are good at saying things that get crowds excited, what did Barack Obama do before getting into politics? What multi-billion dollar enterprise did he build and run?

Of course I would rather have Rand Paul. And if he get's any traction he's my man, but at the moment I see Trump as the Bush repellent. And it seems to be working.
