Trump Has Clear Path To GOP Nomination; Senator Jeff Sessions Expected To Be Tapped As His Running Mate

On August 2, 2015, I predicted that Donald Trump would win the Republican nomination for president because no other Republican candidate had the political muscle needed to stop him. I was bashed by friends and foes alike for making this bold prediction.
Today, America now knows I was right. With Ted Cruz suspending his presidential campaign yesterday and John Kasich suspending his campaign today, Trump now has a clear and uncontested path to the GOP nomination.
On March 3, 2016, I predicted that Trump will tap Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama) to be his vice president. Sessions was the first U.S. Senator to endorse Trump. He introduced Trump at both of Trump's wildly successful campaign appearances in Alabama. Trump and Sessions genuinely like and respect each other.
Sessions would be a powerful political asset for Trump if he wins the presidency. Sessions has been a member of the U.S. Senate since January 1997. He is a staunch conservative and an influential senator. Sessions is an expert in judicial and military affairs. As vice president, Sessions would preside over the U.S. Senate with a measure of authority and stature not seen in Washington for decades.
I also predict that Trump will tap New Jersey governor Chris Christie to serve as his attorney general. Christie, who was a former U.S. Attorney, would be a pitt bull in this position. He is smart, aggressive, and would know how to use the full powers of the office to protect and advance Trump's political and policy initiatives.
As I stated on August 2nd, Donald Trump is chasing his biggest deal yet – the presidency of the United States. Trump knows a lot about the art of the deal. He lives and breathes corporate mergers and acquisitions, and his business empire spans the globe.
Trump has brought his business skills and intellectual acumen to his pursuit of the American presidency, and they appear to be working very well for him. As a result, Trump clinched his party's nomination today. He was the last man standing in a crowded GOP field of seventeen presidential candidates.
For decades America’s super-rich billionaires have controlled the political scene in this country. In recent years, this class of billionaires has lost faith in the usual “political hustlers” and career politicians who run for and hold national political office. These political hustlers are responsible for the across-the-board deterioration in the caliber and stature of candidates who offer themselves for Congress and the presidency. This pool of candidates is increasingly comprised of weak, financially broke, lazy and marginally intelligent individuals who memorize sound-bites, specialize in photo opportunities, and need to be told what to think and do on a daily basis. For the most part, these candidates have no backbone, character, integrity, work ethic, self-determined political agenda, or vision. They are just hustlers looking to make a career and living out of politics.
Trump and his billionaire friends have decided that enough is enough—no more government representation through weak surrogates. Trump has led this charge by seizing direct control of the political process for electing a president the way he would do it within a private business empire.
At first blush, Trump’s campaign style and tactics seemed extremely bizarre to the multitude of journalists, news analysts, commentators, and talking heads who cover presidential elections. Remember, none of them are billionaires. None of them has orchestrated a corporate merger or acquisition, or has lead a corporate takeover initiative. None of them has practiced the art of the deal in real life. Trump has, and he does it on a routine basis.
Once Trump entered the presidential race for the purpose of winning it, the first thing he did was to show his strength over all of the other candidates. He made himself directly accessible to the media and does not engage in scripted interviews. Trump speaks his mind on every issue and is not concerned about political correctness. His private views are expressed in public. Whether one likes him or not, Trump is a strong leader with a demonstrated record of creating dynamic economic growth for his businesses. He does not apologize for expressing his political views, which is a rarity in today’s world.
Furthermore, Trump cannot be bought by the money crowd because he is rich. He cannot be tempted by the power of sexual seduction because he is truly happy in his marriage to Melania.
Next, Trump took the iron club he routinely uses to browbeat his business competitors and quickly bludgeoned his fellow Republican candidates with it. He nullified them as competitors in record time by showing America just how weak and pathetic these candidates are. All of them are little more than political pack mules who were created by rich Republicans and who are tasked with the job of carrying the political water of America’s super rich individuals and corporations. None of them has ever built or run anything of significant economic value.
Trump showed a majority of Republican primary voters that he was their candidate of choice with the backbone to “make America great again”. In turn, they catapulted Trump to the top of the polls in the state-by-state race for the Republican nomination.
Knowing that most Americans see President Barrack Obama as a nice guy who is a weak president, Trump made his strength in business the centerpiece of his campaign. Trump worked at projecting the toughness that he believes is necessary to effectively deal with world leaders in Russia, China, North Korea, Mexico, Iran and other tough spots for America around the world.
Trump implemented a winning game plan that the other Republican candidates for the presidency never had the grit to implement. Trump needed no campaign money to get his message across to voters because he enjoys the media coverage of a rock star. Unlike the other candidates, Trump had global name recognition. Unlike the other candidates, Trump did not have to pretend tot be someone that he is not. He just had to be the Donald Trump that America already knows.
Trump flies to campaign events on “Trump One”, his very nice private jumbo jet. Some of he other candidates were hopping rides on Delta, Southwest, American Airlines and other commercial carriers. Upon arrival, Trump is treated like he is already president, complete with Secret Service protection, a motorcade, and an army of reporters following behind him.
Trump is spending his own money. The other candidates were begging supporters for their money. Everybody is talking about Donald Trump all of the time. Very few people talked about the other Republican candidates.
The Trump campaign is a reality show in real time on the art of the deal – winning the American presidency. It is being masterfully produced and directed by Trump himself.
.
The Trump campaign is a perfect blend of entertainment prowess mixed with passion, intellect and a big dose of business acumen, from a man who has played hardball all of his adult life. Trump knows the art of the deal and his ultimate prize – the American presidency – is within his reach.
