I can't count the times Trump has been declared dead as a candidate.

But there he is.
Herr T'Rumpolini will win the Republican nomination only to be beaten by a woman in November.

Racism directed against the fastest growing segment of our nation will drag him down like a stone.

Thanks for the reply although I don't agree.

Hillary has bleed women supporters, TRump will have a different set of talking points. I have seen him get a cold reaction from a crowd and change his "view" right there on the podium. It's what all politicians do but Trump does it better than any ever has and on the spot. Not a week later after consulting with every self-important handler or adviser.

Plus he's a social liberal at heart and will have great appeal to the suburban vote in the general who are simply feed up with business as usual.

All that said, IMO and I have said this since the summer, we will have a President come from the GOP. Hill and Bernie are simply not electable.

I'd rather have Trump than Opie, Rafael or Dr. "I took a hammer to my mom, honest, I did!"

I hear what saying but I think you underestimate America. Plus I think Trump really believes in his simple-minded ideas like birtherism and "making good deals" etc. That will be exposed in the debates and light of a general election.

Trump is a good showman...lacks the intelligence needed to go along with that.
LBJ,Nixon, FDR and a host of other Presidents demonstrate the intellectual and political skills needed to be successful.

Donald Dumb (thanks HK ) really does not know what it takes to be President, only that he wants the job and believes he will do the best job. And now he has a clear path to the nomination because of the anti-establishment mood of the GOP electorate.

In the general election it's not whether his weaknesses are exposed (simply put he is totally unqualified), but who he is going to be up against. Weaker candidate lose. Kerry and Romney are recent examples.
