Admit it. Donald Trump is a volcano in a forest of Ronson lighters.
You’re not going to stop him. He may carry all 50 states.
The awareness of Trump’s invincibility is dawning slowly for several reasons. Nobody wants to be revealed as a fool if Trump flames out. Also, such a breathtaking prediction hates to be borne all alone. “Out on a limb” is a lonely place for a pundit to be. Then, too, a lot of heretofore wise observers are obeying the instinct to adopt a “business as usual” stance. We put subconscious pressure on ourselves so that yesterday’s “clown-by-consensus” isn’t too abruptly hailed as the winner this absurdly long before the first vote is cast. The dreamers in the GOP are still reassuring one another that Trump’s domination is a “summertime thing,” and that come fall the public anger will be gone and the people will ask themselves, “Is this the kind of person we want in the Oval Office?” Dream on, Dear Establishment. People are already asking that question, and the answer is not just “Yes”; it’s “Hell, Yes!”
Eight years ago Americans decided to take a chance on a “community organizer” without one single discernable accomplishment, not even authorship of his own book! (Thank you, Jack Cashill!) Obama was editor of the Harvard Law Review – and never wrote a single editorial. And we elected and re-elected him.
And now we’re taking the measure of a billionaire 11 times over who’s boldly carved his signature in stone and steel and golf-course green around the world, written best-selling books and produced and starred in dazzlingly high-rated TV shows, and you’re trying to tell me this world-class accomplishmentarian is a summertime thing set to evaporate with the first fall chill? In a pig’s eye!

It’s a l-o-o-o-o-n-g time until we actually vote; much can happen. Not a Trump fan; we like Jindal and a few others. Trump, a pro-choicer [in part], he’s not to be trusted.
Humongous IF ...
Maybe we can make it like that again—for them!
Three of his older children are heavily involved in managing Trump businesses. He'd just take himself out of it and turn it over to them and the officers of the various entities.
That would take care of anything but purely personal investments.
Surely if that is true, then as the article says, come fall both the leaves and Trump will fall to the ground.
So... your worries are over, are they not ?
Hey, I’ve been there. It happens every election. I rather thought the Palin club could get pretty well finger down the throat over the top, around here too. I had to learn that we are not all homogenous, all the time.
Deal with it. I had to.
You must play chess. You are moves ahead of the competition.
To my knowledge Trump has not denounced Obamacare, nor has he vowed to repeal. Is that correct? I hope I’m wrong on that.

Reporter: Mr. Trump, do you think the Washington Redskins should change their offensive name to something less incendiary?
Funny how Cruz wants to hurt the US. And I have given to Cruz.
Nobody is going to get everything, from one candidate, in any election.
We have to save ourselves as a sovereign nation so that we CAN deal with the other issues.

Nixon did not want to put the country through such a thing.
Today, the stakes are far too high for such a consideration.
There are a lot more billionaires with a lot more billions than Trump. Such as Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg. Arguing that Trump would be a good president because he’s a private sector success and a billionaire is dead wrong. If true, then those three should be better presidents since they’re worth even more. However, their ethical values and their policy positions are what matters. Billionaire liberals don’t help us at all.
So if you’re going to tell me Trump would be a good president, you better be talking about the actual policies he’s going to put in place, not his net worth.
Nixon also won 49 out of 50 states in 1972.
Great article :)
