Donald was the most leftist GOP candidate. He wasn't even in the Center category, he was barely under Left. I found it very odd.
He is pro abortion, pro gun control, for universal health care to name a few. That is why he has no chance. Pissed off conservatives that are polling for him now are going to drop him like a rock once Jebbie spends a few million on negative ads pointing this out.

yes, yes, and yes (gotta fix that last one)
here's a link for reference... trump policy as viewed by pbs.org
I'll quote the gun control portion since that could be misconstrued the way you phrased it. One could take that as being in favor of abolishing the right to bear.....people forget the right to bear arms and the right to have access to own the baddest, latest, most self destructive weapons on earth are two different things...like owning machine gun equipped drones....
Quote:Gun Control: Limit restrictions on guns. Ban some assault weapons and extend the waiting period for purchase.
During a 2013 interview with Fox News, the real estate mogul defined himself as, “a very strong person on the Second Amendment.” He believes guns are necessary for self-defense and has written that he generally opposes gun control. In his 2000 book, “The America We Deserve” Trump wrote that he supports a ban on assault weapons and a slightly longer waiting period to buy a gun.
let's not forget he's conservative on the most important issue....money
and I also agree with the limited foreign policy stances provided....
now if someone would just kick him in the nuts and put a filter on his arse.....never mind....he's the self appointed guinea pig the red is embracing to ensure another lib dipshite isn't elected this time...it's all part of the master plan boys....

I agree with Trump. It's time to get real and speak the truth, even if it is upsetting for some to hear.
The "hero" mentality in today's America sickens me. Every teacher is a hero. Every nurse a hero. Every person in the military is a hero. The truth is that isn't true, and we all know it.
Most people aren't heroes. People that get shot down in enemy territory, are tortured and survive 5 and 1/2 years in a POW camp ARE HEROES! I'm shocked that there is any question about that.

Yep. He went against the GOP dogma. It's funny to watch the 1-2% candidates call for him to leave the race so that it can be business as usual.

John McCain is a hero.
But that does not give John McCain the right to call other war heros, who want something done about illegal immigration, "crazies."

Notice someone who isnt taking on Donald Trump? There is a deafening silence from a typical teleprompter reading blowhard.

This.
McCain is an @sshole in a lot of ways, but growing up as the son and grandson of admirals probably does tend to push a person in that direction.
As for Trump, he's just doing the same basic shtick that he's been doing for 20+ years. For those old enough to remember, it's almost as if he's channeling Martha Mitchell: no filter at all between noggin and mouth.
