Trump is a street smart operator, but he lacks intelligence, judgement, and political experience.
The guy can barely talk. "Wonderful people, great people, amazing people etc.." He reminds me of a polished version of George W.
Christie or Rubio are much better public speakers.
When Trump talks, Christie just wants to jump in and stop him
If establishment wants to stop Trump, they need to fund/buy Sanders. Trump will mop the floor with Hillary.
She has too much baggage.
But before we go there, I think they might stop Trump, nominate Cruz or Romney. But if Trump gets too much support
they will have to cave in, otherwise they will risk a split within the party. That is how new parties are born.
"New Republicans" anyone? I think multi-party system would be healthy for democracy, but we don't have it because it is much
harder to control the whole election process. And the corporate establishment is all for control. They need someone who would not rock the boat too much.
