99% certain his is indeed playing a HUUUGE ruse on the Republicans and with the "shooting someone in NYC and not losing supporters" statement started to open his door out of the race. This just cracks the door open a little more.

If the Donald gets hid desired beep, he would accomplish something no Repuds has done in YEARS: lose Arizona.

He might keep Texas. The Hispanics of Texas, compared to their counterparts in other states, are astonishingly inert.

He wasn't serious at all, and the longer this farce goes on, the more apparent that becomes. I will give him credit though for showing the country just how stupid republicans voters are by backing him, not giving one single plan to fix anything, making fools out of the entire clown care, and showing how he could get this far with nothing at all showing he would be a "great" president, except him saying, "I will be a grew president" over and over instead of actually coming up with plans to solve problems.

Yes the Donald has played the republican party for the fools they really are, and he has probably brought the GOP to the end. I am still waiting for him to come out and tell they it's all been a joke, and they fell for it, hook, line and sinker.
