Oh barf. Let's not pretend that Trump is doing anything for anyone but himself.
...although there is that issue of NBC lingering.
Yeah, about that. So how does Trump agree to a VP who he himself as publicly said on multiple occasions was not constitutionally qualified to be president? And who he has, in fact, threatened to sue over over his eligibility? How does he walk that one back?
“Oh barf. Let’s not pretend that Trump is doing anything for anyone but himself.”
“Making America Great Again” would be doing a lot for Donald Trump personally.
He has family; he sees what is happening to the Country. He is at the end of his productive life, he has this one chance for greatness, to be in the history books as the man who Made America Great Again. It is a powerful incentive for a man who already has immense wealth, a wonderful family, just about every material advantage known.
Many great Americans have found contributing to the country to be a source of immense personal satisfaction after they have made their fortunes.
It is not hard to believe that Trump is one of them.
He has never been accepted as “one of the club”. It is pretty obvious when you listen to what he says, and what his family says.
He is too nouveau rich for the political club.
He's not doing it for himself; we wouldn't even be discussing stopping illegal immigration and Moslem infiltration except for Trump. He is giving up lots of his own potential income to run and unlike Cruz, Trump is not flooding my inbox with pleas for money.

I don't know that he does; it may need to be litigated; it would only be for the sake of necessity and not to lose the First and Second Amendments in the next four years.
Trump doesn't seem to have any problem changing positions to fit the situation and circumstances. If it helps his campaign to say Cruz isn't an NBC and threaten to sue him, he'll do that. If making Cruz his running mate helps him at the convention he'll do that, too. It's all about making the deal.
