16. I'm thinking along the same lines Trump is a self promoter He's all Trump all the time He makes

his money being and selling Trump

If he won he would have to represent something larger than himself and he sincerely believes that there is nothing in the world larger, more important or more interesting than Trump

Add to that the fact that he will not listen to let alone take advice from anyone and you have someone who cannot function as a political leader

Political leaders nead to build support, coalitions and alliances to further their political aims Trump is incapable of doing that He's a my way or the highway kind of guy

He acts like a club fighter who is pumping himself up to hide the fact that he's going to take a dive for the right price He just wants to get the right price

Someone will back Trump TV as a bribe to take him out of the race I predict, after some backroom deal at the convention, that he will quit. Maybe with a lot of bluster and fury but he will leave and will be quite happy to do so
