Donald Trump, current Republican presidential candidate - Now leading the polls in the Republican race for the 2016 presidential nomination, Donald Trump has at one time considered himself a Democrat, an Independent and a member of the Reform Party. He has made contributions to campaigns of both Republican Party and Democratic Party candidates and was an early supporter of President Reagan. After years of talking about a run for president, he ran for the nomination of the Reform Party in 2000, winning the party's California primary. While he continues to make waves in the Republican Party, Trump has still maintained a willingness to run as an Independent if he doesn't receive the Republican nomination in 2016.

FILE - In this April 27, 2011 file photo, Donald Trump speaks during a news conference in front of his helicopter at the Pease International Tradeport in Portsmouth, N.H. Trump’s been telling Americans for nearly three decades that he’s what they really need in the White House, a business-hardened dealmaker-in-chief. Now that he’s actually running for president, Trump gets to say it Thursday night from center stage and in prime-time as the top-polling candidate in the first Republican presidential debate of the 2016 campaign.
