What is Trump's platform on anything except immigration and free trade

This is what amazes me about Trump's campaign- it's a one or arguably two issue campaign with few viewpoints on anything else that seems about a 90% certainty to win the GOP nomination. The anti immigration and anti free trade viewpoints largely are the exact same philosophy that Americans keep getting screwed and cheated out of jobs by foreigners, even though hating immigration is usually considered a GOP viewpoint and hating free trade is usually considered a Democratic viewpoint.

I wonder if Trump would be a do nothing president once he realizes how impossible getting rid of 11 million illegal immigrants and building his giant border wall is. (Not to mention how mad wealthy Repub campaign donors would be at him for getting rid of a workforce they can pay under the table and treat like dirt.) I definitely think that having a do nothing POTUS beats the hell out of having a POTUS like Rubio or Cruz who would do a whole lot of awful things.

Does Trump have Mafia ties?

I haven't read the evidence for and against him having mob ties, but it wouldn't surprise me if he did. Plenty of NYC businessmen have Mob ties, especially people who consider themselves tough guys like Trump.

The worst thing about Trump is that he's the least bad repub

Honestly I think the other Repubs, including the ones who dropped out, are almost all far worse. Think about everybody who has run in the Repub primaries. Walker, Santorum, Jindal, Cruz= worst of the worst Rubio, Bush, Carson, Fiorina= more than bad enough. Trump and Kasich might be a close call but I'd still prefer Trump. I don't know why Reid later pretended he was joking when he said Trump is the Repub he'd least mind seeing in the White House.

Could Sanders get any superdelegates?

This is what I've long wondered about with his campaign's viability. Would any superdelegates vote for him? I am a Sanders supporter and hate the superdelegate idea personally.

The worst thing about Trump's campaign is that he's the least bad Repub candidate

I definitely would not want Trump as POTUS. However, almost all of the other Repub candidates, including those who have dropped out, would be a lot worse. The early dropouts like Walker and Jindal were the worst of the bunch. The clowns like Carson and Fiorina were bad too even if they were funny to listen to. Bush was awful even though he had no fans. Cruz is the worst guy remaining and might be as bad as Walker and Jindal. Rubio is only slightly less bad than Cruz. I'd prefer having Trump as POTUS over Kasich too. It might be a close call between Trump and Kasich, but Trump is infinitely better than the 14 candidates not named Trump or Kasich who have run in the Repub primaries. I don't know why Reid pretended he was just joking when he said Trump is the Repub he'd least mind seeing in the White House.

Are Trump's black supporters employed as gated community guards

Gated communities are what racist 1%ers use to keep minorities away from them. The odd thing is that the community guards-the great St. Peters who decide who to let through the gates-are black themselves at least 80% of the time. The remaining 20% of the time the guards are usually a Hispanic guy of highly questionable immigration status. Thus the guards are black and Hispanic dudes who are hired to prevent any other minorities from entering the forbidden city. They remind me a lot of black Republicans, especially black Trump supporters.
