Donald Trump cleared up one thing in his speech in Charlotte, North Carolina, last night: he is running to win.
Throughout this very odd election cycle, some pundits have periodically suggested that Trump wasn't serious in his run for the presidency. First, it was said that he got into the race simply to garner publicity, to burnish his "brand." He himself, it was said, was surprised that he did so well in the primaries.
When it became clear that he was poised to win the nomination, the story changed slightly. Now, he was said to be playing the buffoon because he didn't really want the job. The same line was repeated and amplified post-convention whenever Trump went off-message or waved The National Enquirer about. Anything having to do with Ted Cruz really seemed to set him off. And off he went, as his plummeting poll numbers showed.

Well, we will know for sure one way or the other November 9, 2016. Should trump win, the fight has just begun. The Democrat Party, the Left, the Socialists, the media, [all one and the same actually] will come unglued, unhinged, and explode.
Well duh. I sent a memo to Christie via Sen. Kyl TWO MONTHS AGO preparing for a Trump administration. And both Cankles and Trump are actually late on this: Reagan prepared his transition with an economic director in March 1980-—before he even won the nomination! And he had the whole Heritage “Blueprint for Change” or whatever it was called already done.
No, this is common. Every candidate begins the transition work already. Reagan had ALL his first 200 appointees fully vetted by December 1980.
AMEN!
