I have no problem with all that you write, and have no problem with Trump blowing up the machine. We need this.

The real question is, whether he is genuine given that he’s been all over the map on abortion, Planned Parenthood, one time even favoring a single-payer plan, even immigration (having criticized Romney for his anti-immigration policies), and of course he won’t commit into saying that he’d oppose the enforcement of the gay marriage edict from the Court. And just today said he’d choose Sen. Ayotte for a VP. This is not really a case of “blowing up the machine,” and I wonder if he is simply trying blow up the Trump image into a global name recognition. This is what a showman does.

Well this is early enough that if Trump ends up taking the path into the weeds such as with Ayotte for VP he’d find his popularity tank very quick. Right now he serves a purpose and he is taking the jobs issue seriously. Almost no one is talking about doing something about America bleeding manufacturing jobs or Americans being replaced with H1B1 visa holders. The proof is in the pudding. Right now I’m just happy he is stopping the Jeb machine dead in its tracks and he’s turning the political status quo upside down. Right now I’m in wait and see mode. I don’t see him as a threat. He and Cruz have made peace and if he’d go with Cruz as VP if he maintains his popularity and wins the nomination I’d have no problem voting for him because I trust Cruz.
