Interesting analysis. Can’t say it’s totally off the mark.
Agree that the “kingmaker” gene, or the Nathan Hale gene, is likely absent.
Selflessness is anathema to politicians, I guess.

Thanks. A big part of Trump’s appeal is that he was an outsider who had already lived a long, successful life before he ran for office. Even if he was ready, willing and able to serve as a “kingmaker,” he would have no credibility anymore because he’d be seen by many voters as just another sellout.
