Random thoughts on the Trump campaign... [View all]

How must the the other candidates feel who ran in the Republican primary? To watch what is happening and scratching their collective heads. Other than Cruz, any one of the others would have done better.

Will the rabid followers of Trump take on the role of martyrs? I have real fear concerning what will happen once Trump is defeated.

I'm convinced that those who are the most fervent supporters of Trump hate Hillary more than they like Trump.

I'm not convinced that Trump will make it to November.

I often wonder how close this contest would be if the GOP had a different nominee... Any of the others who ran. This based on how high Hillary's disapproval numbers are.

Finally... Will the results of this contest fundamentally change the Republican party?
