9YearLurker: What's notable is how Trump scores without rehearsal. He does it with an alpha-male, tell-it-to-you-directly, good enough vibe about it. If it's inauthentic, it's so well done that it's still gold.

jimbo807: That is why Trump is winning.

Ted likes to hear himself orate. I like what he says, but so does he. A LOT.

Carson gets done and I say, "Huh?".

Rubio needs theme music and people holding up lighters.

Carly needs to go away. Now.

Christie needs to lose weight.

Great comments.

And my point is that that’s not necessarily the way to look at it. If he brings out enough voters in a key state or two that’s the same as delivering a home state anyway.

I suspect Trump would try to “balance” his ticket with someone like Suzana Martinez, which to me would make him look too much like the typical pandering pol, but we’ll see—maybe.

Too true re: Cruz—maybe eight years as the more or less silent partner to Trump, as his veep, would cure him of it.
