I would like to think you are right that he can win as a Republican, but my fear is that his ego, and the highly-skilled ability of the Republicans to self-immolate might push Trump to go 3rd Party, at which point we can all start practicing saying, “Madame President” ...

He would be formidable as 3rd Party and will either win outright or hand it to Hillary, so it may not be very smart to try to isolate and alienate him in the Republican Party. Perhaps if Cruz ends up our nominee, Trump will support us...but just about anyone else will have to deal with Trump (and Hillary) in November.
