Once Trump is GOP nominee he will move quickly towards the middle

[book_worm]

I think he will do anything to win and he is smart enough (I think) to know that running a far right, racist campaign will not win the big prize. He'll move back towards the middle and stop making a lot of his more outrageous spewings (but still be the ultimate egomaniac). The question is will it be too late and will it disillusions the white bigots who will vote for him in the primaries (though who would they vote for anyway?). My betting is yes.

Anyway, that is my prediction.

1. Brokered convention will yield Ryan, unfortunately. Scary, huh? nt

2. i don't think the haters will settle for the middle. maybe they'll stay home?

that would be ideal.

3. of course he will, he is not a conservative

4. The middle of what? A little less Tamerlane, a little more Mussolini?

You could fill the Marianas Trench with combustible material on this douche-clown, and that's just the shit he's said himself.

6. Bingo! The middle for right-wingers is far right of center.

5. Agreed. It might work. He will support Social Security/Medicare and a few liberal causes.

Meanwhile he will deregulate, cut taxes on the rich and the safety net. The 1% could live with that trade-off.

Then he will 'protect' us from foreigners with walls and tariffs. Part of that 'protection' will be to withdraw from international agreements and organizations (he has never seen one that he likes) so that foreigners have to 'stop telling us what to do'. America will be 'great again'.

It's what RW populists do.
