A recent poll found that Donald Trump is the favorite among current pretenders to the GOP throne by a wide margin. He leads the second best candidate by 9%. The GOP base may be strongly influenced by his position on Obama's citizenship. Trump has taken the position similar to the "birthers" in the GOP base. The majority of the GOP base would not vote for a candidate that did not affirm their naive view on Obama's citizenship. That makes sense because it is something that is easy for them to understand. They are uncomfortable with a black president who is smarter than their image of blacks will permit. When asked about this, they respond by saying that he is only good at reading from a teleprompter.
Donald Trump also fits the Reagan mold since he has used his celebrity to his advantage and he has good stage presence. Who can tell someone that they have been fired better than The Donald? They can probably imagine him saying that to unworthy government employees.
