As time goes by and the MSM does its daily microscopic analysis of everything coming out of the Trumpster's mouth, looking for something that can be used to embarrass him (and he often obliges them), it is becoming more difficult to keep one's eye on the basic reasons to support him, and in effect the arguments that still support his possible Presidency.
If I may...
(1) It is desirable to have a Rich Guy in politics - someone who makes a significant financial sacrifices to run and hold office, and would happily return to the private sector (or retire) if successful, failing, or run out of office, one way or another. Think of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He gained nothing by being Governor, got his head handed to him by an ignorant public, and left. Cool.
Being Rich and/or Successful in the private sector makes one less "buy-able" by special interests, and able to make decisions on the basis of the betterment of the Nation, and not maximizing the chances of re-election.
(2) Trump is basically the only candidate who takes our immigration laws and our national sovereignty seriously. Whether the "illegals" can be forced to leave, bodily transported back to the borders from which they came, or simply starved out by being deprived of the benefits of our social "safety net" is not that important. The important things is that Trump has hit upon a major frustration with the Political Class: that they both accede to the invasion of illegals, each for their own purposes, and Trump "gets it."
(3) The same situation exists generally in the area of global "free" trade. The Political Class (except for certified morons, like Sanders) tell us that "free trade" is the Answer, but after a couple decades of being raped and pillaged by foreign entities dumping government-subsidized crap in our markets, we are no longer buying that line. Trump may not have the Answer, but he won't be coerced by business special interests to sign off on treaties that kill our manufacturing and STEM jobs, or invite foreigners in to take them away from Americans.
(4) The strongest argument for Trump always has been that the alternative is simply horrible. HRC will pack the USSC with clones of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, all in their 40's, and America, as we know it, will be disappearing rapidly into the fog of history. She will also figure out a way to get voter ID cards for the tens of millions of illegals currently within our borders (the "11 million" number is only a fraction of the real total). Within a couple years, all Federal GS employees will have full collective bargaining rights, including an unfettered right to strike.
So when Mr. Trump steps on his dick, figuratively speaking, like last week when he inexplicably made the case that the judge in the class action suit against Trump U should step down because his parents immigrated from Mexico...just swallow hard, acknowledge that he has a bad case of "Blitherer's Disease," and make your reservation to vote for him (and your local republican senate candidate) on November 1st. As bad as he might be, Hillary would be worse by far.
