Trump is the GOPee’s ideal candidate. One who can reach out for the middle.

When it comes to the general election we will see Trump work with the energy of a well fed horse. He will work to form new coalitions and even more crossover voters. God give him strength, favor and protection in the quest.

Well, there are two schools of thought. Trump belongs to the school that says "It's what you know, not who you know, that really matters."

The USA needs that philosophy today. The big time funding matters not.

Wrong. The GOPe ideal candidate is one who will lie down on the mat, take a fall, do a dive, if it appears likely he will win as did Romney, McCain, Dole and Ford and Bush 1 (second time, he had no choice in it the first).

The GOPe does not want to put the Democrats out of the White house. It would upset their deal with the Ruling Party. The Democrats would then move to actually destroy, physically even, Republicans. Yes, they can do it if the Republican winner is not extremely strong and aggressive from day 1.

The Democrat Party is not merely the politicians we see and hear and identifiable voting blocs and individuals. The Democrat Party IS the government. It is the Agencies, the entire Federal bureaucracy and most of the State bureaucracies. The Federal bureaucracy always works hard to stymie and neutralize anything a non Democrat President tries to do. Civil Service locks the placeholders and embezzlers and petty tyrants into their places. To remove them it is necessary to abolish their agencies and them.
