An idiot who could happen to be the most powerful man in the world. (It strikes me that that is the sole reason Trump is running for President)
He represents market volatility. Sharks take advantage of market volatility, most others avoid it. There's no predicting what will happen, but to think nothing will happen, to me, is foolish.
One of the most amazing things about Trump, to my mind, is his ability to lower expectations beyond any reasonable measure. It is frighteningly hilarious to me that him not cursing or making rape jokes is proof of him being "presidential" or the idea that him literally flip flopping day by day is part and parcel now, it's not even news. More than any person in history, he is running a campaign of political expedience iterated on the 15 minute scale. Whatever works for Donald Trump right this instant is what he goes with. Deal with later later.
To me, that is a fucking nightmare when dealing with world politics.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

A President Trump would be far less powerful than many imagine him to be. Perhaps, if -he- had a more accurate appraisal of the power he would actually weild....that would dissuade him from running. Maybe a slogan.
"Actually, Donald...you can't do that, trust me."
(we already -are- the sharks that take advantage..he won't be bringing that in with him, not disagreeing with you that this is not a good thing, ofc.)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world.

Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Um. Not if he's the president of the United States.

She provided the rope, and we provided the tree. Let the justice dept hang her, while Sanders is able to get work on beating Trump without the interference from Hillary.

Ah but the infighting between him and his party presents an opportunity to undermine the all of the GOP,stacking the deck in favor of a VERY progressive 2020 candidate.

Does he actually stand a chance at winning though?

That depends on whether the Justice Department drops an indictment before or after the convention.
My money is on it not coming out the pipeline until after the election, in order to avoid the appearance of unduly influencing the election.
