True enough, I was wrong and Trump will take the nomination on the first ballot. But I'll claim a partial victory since two ex-GOP Governors are planning to run a 3rd party Libertarian campaign to give reasonable conservatives another alternative. I am watching to see what grows out of that over time.
A bigger bet is what will happen now that Donald Trump owns the Republican Party. I wonder if he will make them print his name on the main GOP office buildings......... I can't get over how many 'our beliefs are too strong to compromise' types are flipping to support him. Like David Brooks said... it's a Joe McCarthy moment for the party.
The article referenced by Hound in The Atlantic is really worth reading. It's not a hit piece, and provides a whole lot of frameworks to judge Trump by.
