11. Good strategy, IMO.

I believe that Trump WILL get the nomination, however - not so much because people actually support him, much less like him, but more because they will be afraid NOT to support him. Nominating someone else, a la the Dem Convention in 1968, will likely result in chaos, anger and ultimately voter apathy. Trump supporters are not known for their good behavior anywhere and I also wouldn't bet against major violence from some, both inside and outside the Convention.

Trump really knows how to carry a grudge. Assuming he still actually has deep pockets, he could finance an Independent run if he thought he could win in his own mind. The one thing about him that is superhuman is his trust/belief in himslf.
