For starters, he stated, time and again, that it was going to be a brokered convention.
I was surprised Cruz gave up as easily as he did. I really thought he was in it for the long haul, considering how his ego is just as massive as Trump's.
The thing you don't seem to understand about American party politics is how much power is wielded behind the scenes by the party leaders. They could still engineer a scenario by which Trump is denied the nomination though, at this point, I doubt they will. They are simply too frightened of the consequences such an action would have. I truly believe GOP leaders have now written off 2016 and are now looking forward to 2020.
The "Republicans for Hillary" movement is now a real thing and is gaining momentum very quickly. She is seen as a pragmatic centrist who eschews the extremism of both the Left and Right.

because Trump is not a republican.
Sorry for the 8< (snip)And reading back through all the earlier posts on this thread, personally I don't see Trump as being egotistical about POTUS.
My gut feeling is that Trump does actually want to make America Great Again, and help out the general population of the USA.
It's funny how Clinton is already out on twitter begging for more money to beat Trump. That speaks volumes to me.
Most of the so called “experts” have been getting it wrong from the start as well. The big issue was summed up by another commentator. They have gone through reporting on the nomination process to deciding who the nominee should be. The voters disagree and didn’t like “its my turn now” Jeb Bush, or Robio.

Clinton’s campaign chair, John Podesta, has started to make the case that Trump is too “risky” to be president. That signals a shift from arguing about policy and experience to pure persuasion...

...I would go so far as to say that John Podesta has set the theme for Trump’s upcoming interview with Megyn Kelly: Risky Business.
The public has learned a lot about politics and about persuasion during this election. It is about to learn about risk management, courtesy of Donald Trump. Watch him give a business tutorial on the topic sometime soon. That’s the right play, along with softening his edges going forward.
Will be interesting to see if this comes true, quite specific..

It's a bloody sad indictment on American politics and the Democratic Party in particular if Hillary is the best they can come up with.

Kasich is done.
To be expected really. The Cruz-Kasich pact kinda backfired on the pair of them.I must admit, as an outsider (a Brit), I'm really looking forward to watching Trump laying into Hillary and vice-versa.
Reports that Hillary is begging for money via Twitter and concerns that Trump needs to raise millions to fight the GE leave me bemused.
kwittery. Trump might ultimately be their saviour.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
