But how many have demanded a clear path to the nomination as a requirement for their running? He wants a primary but without an opponent, so why bother with a primary? The alternative would be a convention to nominate him, but he doesn't want a convention either. What's next? Eliminate the legislature so he doesn't have to deal with them voting down his agenda?
exactly
That struck me too.
If Donald wants to run, he can do so. But he needs to compete in a primary or the convention with other candidates.
If the power of his personality/convictions/ideals are compelling, he will win the primary, right?
And the same is true of the general election, if he can convince the people including Democrats, in Democrat leaning New York, to vote for him.
I think it’s great if he wants to run, but, he’s got to get out there and deal with the whole process, as any other politician does.
