I just can't believe when it comes to the crunch they would put Trump up as the candidate.....but as I said I don't have a lot of faith in the American voter in general, and Republicans in particular.
Still some months away from the first of the primaries though, so we'll have a better indication then of how they're stacking up.
There will be a few casualties along the way.
Bush will be lucky to survive...they asked a question as to which woman the candidates would like to see on the ten dollar bill...his answer.... Margaret Thatcher.
I'm pretty sure that Trump won't get the nomination; he's not a Republican and the party establishment doesn't trust him. I suspect that he will continue to alienate folk to the point where it will become clear that he is out of the race. I expect that he will then announce his decision to run as an independent.
There's really no other standout at this stage; a mediocre field at best.
