The question is whether Donald Trump will try to broker a deal between McConnell and Obama by the terms of which McConnell agrees to an appointee who will rule against Cruz on natural birth citizenship.

McConnell will go for the deal because he, like Trump, is a dealmaker with the other side and he knows he will be able to cut deals with Trump but not with Cruz and Obama will go for the deal because he will get a leftist judge and Obama knows that Trump will be more easily beaten than Cruz in the general election.

Are we looking at our idols’ halos or are we trying to figure out what will really happen?

I see no reason that Trump would not make mince meat out of either Hillary, OR Bernie. I’d be afraid of Cruz trying something too clever by half, once more.

We are in such evil times as these and I could see this happening.

If Trump were willing to do that, and despite my reservations about the man, I don’t think he would.

The potential downside is huge and the payoff is comparatively small. If that became public, it would eviscerate Trump’s campaign. It would be everything his supporters abhor and everything he has campaigned against. He credibility would evaporate overnight, and he couldn’t win a nomination for dog catcher. Even if he wanted to, that is too big a gamble for even Trump.

Obama could screw conservatives by nominating Trump’s sister.
