I'm not sold on Trump,it's quite possible that there is no answer in the GOP field at all ... but he's one of the few who've gotten something that matters right even merely talking. It's at least possible that he's come to his senses on multiple issues instead of losing his mind on them as the trend seems to be.
Look, I'll be honest: I think the country is too far down the drain to save no matter who wins any election. But at least there's some miniscule hope this way.

And what has Trump "done"? He's all talk.
Even his immigration stuff, which is definitely the thing that gives him the moat broad appeal, is made up. This is what he said about notorious RINO Mitt Romney's immigration views. "He had a crazy policy of self-deportation, which was maniacal," Trump told Newsmax. "It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote." Trump added that the GOP should develop better policies "with respect to people wanting to be wonderful, productive citizens of this country." He's further left on immigration than Mitt Romney. Until he decided to run for president. (Edit: And even during this run, he's flipping back and forth between deporting all illegal immigrants, and coming up with some merit system to deport only the "bad ones".)
This is like a South Park episode. I wonder if Clint Eastwood could become the front-runner for the Democratic nomination if he just pretended to be liberal for a year two, despite his long history of expressed conservative views.
