Some good points. We will see what happens over time. The pub establishment will hinder rather help either trump or cruz. I think the big money goes to Jeb and walker. Trump may be a flash in the pan and get pushed aside. I could see him getting ticked and going 3rd pty IMO. I don’t think he has any allegiances to anything or anyone. He said “I have no plans to run as an independent... now”. That signals a lot to me that if his ego isn’t fed by some political post he will go 3rd pty. But who knows? He didn’t do it last time. However now he is tasting some success
Yes, there is a danger there. I don't see him going back to reality TV after being loudly cheered in stadiums.
