Mr. Trump is going to arrive at the convention with his 1,237 votes for the nomination, or he will be very close. Then the man who wrote The Art of the Deal is going to be ready to deal. He will deal with John Kasich, the popular governor of the very important state of Ohio. Mr. Trump, by the way, has already expressed his admiration for Mr. Kasich. Or there is Scott Walker, the very conservative governor of Wisconsin. Another popular governor is Rick Scott from the voter-rich state of Florida, who has already joined a growing number of politically alive politicians to endorse Mr. Trump. Doubtless there are other potential deal-makers out there. Of a sudden powerful political leaders are showing a new appreciation for Mr. Trump, a man who is new to politics if not to public life, but who has shown astounding political skills, not the least of which is identifying issues popular with the electorate. What is more, he is finding new coalitions of voters to join the Republican Party, for instance moderate Democrats and independents. My guess is that Donald is going to be difficult to outmaneuver at this forthcoming convention.
Yet the Republicans of uneasy mind can try. They will need a candidate and right now, the only plausible candidate I have heard of is former Texas Gov. Rick Perry. They will need to persuade a majority of convention-goers, assuming Mr. Trump has fallen short of the magic number of delegates in the first ballot. Finally, they will need plenty of smoke to fill the smoke-filled room. That is going to be very tough. Have you ever tried to carry smoke into an empty room? Especially when you do not smoke.

Donald Trump is already my President too!
This is a repeat of 1st Samuel 8. Nothing is new.
Hear Hear!
Which means we also need to get used to hearing (from the Left and from the GOPe):
“Trump’s fault.”
It's o.k. gr8. Don't despair. Our all knowing President Trump 'Hears' you!
If such easy words are a learning experience, just what kind of idiot needs the practice???
President Trump has a certain quality and natural tone. One pleasing to the ears. Certainly a line of defense when one wishes to destroy our enemies. Just mutter the words “President Trump’ and watch the heads explode. See the movie “Scanners” (IIRC) :-))
