This article makes a good point. I have no doubt that Trump knows how to make deals, and that is not inherently a bad thing. It is a good skill to have, and it is thw single largest concern I have about Cruz.

The problem is that whether a deal is "good" is entirely subjective because it depends upon what your goals are. The concern I have about a non-conservative like Trump is that he'll cut deals that he thinks are great (hence he got what he wanted as a negotiator), but that I'll hate because it isn't good from a conservative, small-government perspective.

I also am a bit worried that Trump won't be willing to walk away from a bad deal because he won't want to ruin his rep as a great deal maker. Sometimes, as Fiorina said, you really do just have to walk away from the table until the underlying factors change.

You missed the news yesterday? Seems like Trump did just walk away from the debates. How about the other candidates? They haven’t walked yet and that debate is a very bad deal.

“Dealer” is simply an anagram on “leader”.

To lead, you first have to capture the imaginations of the majority, and if nothing else, The Donald has certainly done that. Who else is ANYBODY talking about this morning?
