Anyone can write a book.

All those frickin' buildings don't mean anything?

Being good at real estate deals doesn't necessarily translate into being good at deals in other fields. I once saw a guy who was great at real estate deals almost blow a technology deal completely to such a degree that "less experienced" dealers had to step in to rescue the deal from the damage he caused.

And Trump seems to me to have a similar personality to the guy I saw almost blow that deal. Since you don't know that guy, I'll spell it out. In real estate, being an a-hole during dealing is not only acceptable, but expected. That's not necessarily the case in other fields. Trump doesn't seem to consider that some of his words and actions alienate people he may later have to deal with, like, say, VOTERS among others. Or other candidates whose delegates he may need to reach a majority.

Like I said, for ME at least, I'd really like to see a contested convention because I want to see if Trump can seal the deal. I doubt he can, but I'd feel better about voting for him if he proved me wrong than if he wins the 1237 the easy way.
