A shoot-from-the-hip, bombastic show-off is the last thing we need or can afford.It may be the only thing that can save us from the damage that Obama has caused. Trump is teaching the country how to play poker... a very dangerous game for international affairs, but thanks to Obama we live in a very dangerous time where the unthinkable is becoming a reality... nuclear destruction of American cities.
Trumps refusal to swear off a third party run is classic poker. Even if the GOP knows it to be a bluff, they can't call him on it. Using that kind of leverage is good negotiation which Trump will be able to use with other nations to advance American interests.
The worst thing you can do in poker is be predictable and Obama is more predictable than any we've ever seen. We want our enemies to view our next president and worry about how we will react to their actions. Iranian leaders are laughing at us when it should always be day 445 for them.
Would Trump have told Ukraine we'd pick up the defense tab if they gave up nukes? I guarantee not and the Crimea would not be part of Putin's Russia today.
Trump does not talk like a statesman. It's too easy to misinterpret his thoughts, but his main idea is what resonates... American can be what it once was and more if we quit surrendering to the 'progressives' and win negotiations with other countries. Trump will all but end US paying for imprisoning foreign bad guys. The Iran 'deal' is total surrender, no deal at all.
Last poll after the debate put Trump at 36%. Let Trump debate Hillary (the last thing she wants) and he'll get all 50 states (maybe 57?)
Does anyone else offer a real chance to turn around our runaway debt problem? How? No doubt in surprising ways. Eliminate whole departments and sell off federal land being part of it, I'd wager... this being poker after all.
Trump/Fiorina 2016. That would deflate the misogynist attacks.

I disagree with you on one small point; that the GOP can't endure a Trump independent run and win. It could do so, simply by taking away Trump's biggest issue (immigration) and running a nominee who's to the right of Trump on that issue. Doing so would pull the teeth of an independent Trump run. But, if they run Jeb Bush or similar, an independent Trump run will sink them. (and being the Party of Stupid, that's what I think they'd end up doing).
A minor problem: Trump is an obvious Democrat trying to throw the election.
