Well, when all is said and done, this guy is a lose canon of unparalleled equal and, in a normal sane world, wouldn't have a chance of ascending to the presidency. However, we live in an upside-down world where anything is possible. Who would have thought, fifty years ago, that Obama, who obviously hates everything American except for the life style we have given him, could be elected to the presidency not once, but twice?
No reasonable conservative has the slightest idea what Trump would do as president. My guess is that Trump doesn't know either. Most likely, he is playing this game as another of his sit-coms throwing his chips in the air and letting them fall where they may, completely oblivious of the outcome. The question is, can Trump be stopped? I believe the endorsement of Christie makes this very unlikely. Christie didn't have "a snow ball's chance in hell" of becoming the republican presidential candidate," but his endorsement of Trump increases trumps conservative credentials tremendously.
Meanwhile, Rubio continues to embarrass himself, at every opportunity, and Ted Cruz, the only true conservative in the race, can't get out from under Trump's shadow no matter how hard he tries. Supper Tuesday will tell the story, but it seems extremely unlikely that the New York dandy can be derailed from his real goal which is to destroy the republican party, which he will do come 2017, whether he wins or loses the general election. This is the way it most likely will play out.
If trump wins both Florida and Texas the game is over. More likely, Trump will take Florida and lose to Cruz in Texas. If this is the case. both Cruz and Rubio will hang on to the bitter end and no one will have a majority of the votes at the convention. This is where the establishment takes over and Rubio, proud member of the gang of eight, is given the nomination. Cruz will crawl away and sulk in a corner crying foul all the way.
Trump, on the other hand, will go ballistic and run as an independent carrying 30 to 40 percent of the conservative republican base, and a few independents and pissed-off democrats, over the cliff with him. One way or the other it is going to be a very interesting year.

Can Trump Be Stopped?
Trump has been an enigma from the first day of his campaign. For many of us, this ego-maniac represents the least desirable aspects of our society, an unapologetic blow-hard who is intent on bringing out the worst aspects of humanity and, I might add, does so on a daily basis with no end in sight. Then, right before our eyes, he morphs into the most formable candidate in the republican field, the endorsement of Chris Christie almost makes him seem, somehow, normal.
