The most recent poll on Conservative Musings resulted in some interesting insights. The poll was to determine if participants would vote for Donald Trump as the Republican Presidential candidate. A surprising 61% of respondents said they NEVER would support Trump. Just under 25% thought they might consider and the balance were more favorably enamored by the Trumpmaster.
The negative response was surprising due to Trump's business success, One would have thought that conservatives would be more interested in having him lead the party. However, in conversations with other non-liberals, it appears there is a reluctance to endorse Trump due to his "celebrity" status. Does being a renowned business man who happens to have a television program eliminate him from being President? Apparently, the answer is yes.
Another negative are the comments he has made regarding President Obama and his birthplace. Trump has said he does not believe the President was born in Hawaii. As we have previously written, Trump has reinvigorated the debate by the "birthers."
Would he be a good candidate and more importantly, would he be a successful President. Would he have the patience to work with Congress to pass his program or would he resort to his favorite phrase--"you're fired!"
So we see that Conservatives are not enamored with the Trumpster, however, one wonders if he will become a candidate for the Republican at all. He has promised to declare before June 1st, we all will be waiting on his decision. We know that he has the ego, the money and (he says) the angst on the direction America is heading. So, will enter the race, time will tell.
Do you agree with the poll? Will Trump become a candidate? Has your opinion changed on Trump? If not Trump, who would you vote for?
