Rule thirteen of the Republican Convention will basically deny Trump the win. This is where almost half the delegates show up and have nothing to do with the primary and are unassigned...the VIP and lobbyists players. Even if Trump takes twenty-five wins of the fifty states, and five guys split the remainder....Trump can’t overcome rule thirteen and the crowd of insider players.
Now, let’s say by some miracle....he does make it past rule 13...then you have a Hillary-Trump situation. I can’t imagine her surviving a single debate with Trump...there’s just no way.
Then you come to 2016 and President Trump having to deal with the Senate. Zero cooperation with the current Republican folks. I think you’d have to replace a dozen Republicans before you’d get any real deals organized. I will admit...it would be curious to watch the lobbyists having to deal with a guy who knows precisely how to deal out an executive order and won’t hesitate.
Good points...but lets see how this all shakes out.
If Trump sweeps the primaries, and he is cheated at the convention, there will be trouble. Why would he not be like any other candidate? Remember if in the end he has won everything, he will have gotten enough party bureaucrats with him because they want influence.
Boy, you really are a bit of a bummer.
I think Trump is smart enough to know they'd become much more cooperative if denied their standard media camouflage.
I think the Linda Graham thing was just a taste of President Trump.

Perhaps him winning will send a clear message to the congenial folks in the Senate that the electorate is pi$$ed off and change needs to happen. I don’t buy into this crossing the aisle and getting things done stuff either...that doesn’t usually work out well for conservatives. I don’t mind an opposition party that really is an opposition party that says “no” to spending more money on social programs and programs government has no business being in (Obamacare). However, border security IS one of the programs the government is supposed to be in and should spend money on. Perhaps a Trump win would solidify the days of going along to get along and pad their net worth is over and it’s time to actually work for the voters that voted them into office. If not, a Trump victory would set the stage for continuing the purge of Repubs that don’t do what they’re sent there to do.
“I will admit...it would be curious to watch the lobbyists having to deal with a guy who knows precisely how to deal out an executive order and won’t hesitate.”
See, that right there scares me. We’ve had nearly 8 YEARS of 0bastard legislating via Executive Order!
Just because we hate it when THEY do it, does not make it right if WE do it.
We need a President who is a LEADER and takes us back to our Constitutional roots.
Probably NOT going to happen again in my lifetime, but a girl can dream!

I think if Trump wins that will be a very clear indication that this country is really, really angry. I also think if he ran into problems with Republican Senate and Congress he wouldn’t be afraid to name names, I can see states investigating how to recall or impeach politicians.
I have a feeling that by 2016 we are going to be in very serious financial trouble with the populace blaming our current politicians. I don’t think most of them are brave enough to face that. At least I hope not.
