Anyone who thinks Trump could be a "king-maker" is delusional. The guy is only a political figure because he has an enormous core of dedicated supporters who think he is going to run again for President (I do, too).
The moment he decides he doesn't want to run for office again, he goes back to being a TV clown who has ZERO political influence.
The Republican party will be dead on the floor. The same place it was before Trump came down the escalator.
Zero influence??? I disagree.... he will still have plenty.... why would he be any different than Clinton or Obama.
