Yes...however nobody has been as shocked as Trump is with his new found success, easily observed and heard as he was gaining followers. “Power” is an amazing aphrodisiac and Trumps certainly prone to that and the challeges with it that power brings...for a man at retirement age this would naturally be an attraction to go out with a bang!
I do see him struggling now....he really just wasn't prepared for the possibility that he could actually win the nominee let alone the Presidency....and it's showing the longer he remains running. It's interesting watching his change along the way....like a winning rookie suddenly finding his feet on the big league field. and though he knows he's good he's up against the pros...and it shows.
