I get the appeal. At the very beginning -- back in July of 2015 or so, I was telling my friends that I liked Trump and was going to vote for him. Since then there has been too many questions raised on issues (not just personal conduct) which makes me question his commitment to conservatism. If Trump shocks the world and wins the election, I don't believe he'll remain committed to being a conservative President. He has no record of consistency. Even now he's waging a twitter war against Paul Ryan and using his Super PAC to spend money against a Republican incumbent who isn't supporting him. He doesn't care if Democrats win the majority in Congress. And if they do, he'll transform back into the liberal Democrat he's been in the past.

Thats the most mind blowing thing when it comes to trump. He has been a dem 90 percent of his life. Not that you cant change, but deep down, he is a dem. All it took was for him to start his build a wall rhetoric and people got behind him.
