I think it will be Ted Cruz or Ben Carson.
Everyone wants to keep discounting the chances of The Donald being able to carry this off. Listen, The Donald is NOT about to run out of campaign cash, and he still pulls in SRO crowds just about everywhere he goes. The Donald’s appeal does not just stop with a goodly portion of Republican voters, he easily crosses over into the “middle” territory and even draws a few adherents from nominally Democrat voters, much like the “Reagan Democrats” of 1980 and 1984.
Is The Donald the right person? Might be, considering the times, and how desperately we need to pull back onto course as leaders of the free world. Would The Donald be a “good” President”? Again, define “good” in this context.
