Apples and Oranges.

Most of that time Trump was having to share the votes with many more opponents than Hillary.

Last night Trump got almost twice as many votes as she did.

Just for S&G, I looked up comments from apprentice contestants, and a common comment was that he valued loyalty as a priority. I would much prefer a POTUS that valued competence over loyalty, however either may be defined or perceived.

No confirmation yet so can this be true which does not bode well for Hillary since she still has to fight off Bernie.

Trump looks to unify Republicans; Kasich reported dropping out
Quote:
NBC News reported on Wednesday that Trump's last remaining challenger, Ohio Governor John Kasich, was suspending his campaign after his dismal third place finish in the Midwestern state.
But wasn't his third place dismal finish expected? Hillary better make peace offering directly to Bernie soon.

Bingo, no doubt about it. The one choice for VP that I was afraid of. This will let Trump look mainstream.

Mainstream? If he's "mainstream" we are screwed.
I can't think if anything that can make this asshole look Presidential in the conventional sense, given his campaign.

I said "look mainstream", meaning more acceptable to more Republicans. Do you actually believe that Repubs are going to vote for Hillary, even after a makeover?

People are sick of conventional. You stumbled onto his appeal.
