    Does it really matter? Trump is getting the nomination. We can stop pretending it’s 2016 and someone else has a shot.

        That doesn’t prevent him from being the nominee. He’s also got some of the best Healthcare in the world that already knows he’s fat, old, and unhealthy and I’m sure they are doing what they can to keep him alive as long as possible.

      It’s not about winning.

      It’s about the free advertising so they can grift donations. Running for president can make you millions and can be used as a slush fund for years after the campaign.

      Especially if you never try to actually win.

      Trump is getting the nomination.

      He may, he may not but I’m 99.9% certain that even if he does he STILL won’t be President again.
