No one is conceding anything, the President has nothing to do with abortion (it is legal) and the transgender bathroom debate.

And Cruz if he were President wouldn't either.

Trump may very well be the next President of the United States.

What I can’t figure out is why anybody is happy with that prospect, except the Liberals, who will get whatever they want, and have it given to them by a nominal Republican. That way they can avoid the blame for the disastrous results.

Trump announces proudly that he is all about making great deals.

Making great deals involves trading things you don’t care about for things you want and need.

The problem is, everything you care about are the first things Trump is going to trade away. He is starting already. Since New York, he has already given away three major planks from the Republican Platform. How many more will he give away by July? How many more by November?

Since you have a candidate who announces, proudly, that he is without scruples, and will trade anything to anybody to get what he wants, your problem is to try to divine what it is that he doesn’t care about, and what it is that he really wants and needs.

The way it looks to me is that the thing he really wants and needs is to be President. The things he doesn’t care about, that he is willing to deal away, is the entire Republican Platform.

If winning is that important to you, that is probably a winning strategy. However, I don’t know why winning would be that important to you, if giving away the entire Republican Platform is the end result.
