Next week will be a YUGE one for both parties and could very well be Bernie Sanders' Swan Song, but at the same time it could also remove any doubt about Donald Trump clinching the GOP nomination on the first vote.

So you thought I was kidding when I said I could be so presidential that I
could be the most presidential of anyone you've ever seen being
presidential. See how presidential I am?

So what kind of candidate will Donald Trump be?
I think we'll see someone completely different.
Believe it or not, I just heard The Donald tell Matt Lauer that he believes in raising taxes on the wealthy "including himself." That is clearly NOT a Republican position.
I really believe that Trump is pretty equivalent to Hillary Clinton insofar as policy. He ought to be. He's contributed very significant money to the Clintons over the years, which he often references, and it's not because he disagrees with them.
Trump is the only Republican to announce he supports most of Planned Parenthood. This morning, he said he supports abortion to save the life of the mother. This is anathema to many in the GOP, even among his supporters, but no matter.
Trump is truly as Teflon with his base as the last celebrity who became president was with his.
He's now rehearsing policy speeches with a teleprompter; something he's mocked his rivals for using. And his public demeanor is subtly but noticeably changing.
Trump has shown himself to be an incredibly quick study, which one might expect of a Wharton Grad who's been so successful if at nothing else than in promoting himself and his brand
Trump might actually accomplish a feat no one has in a very long time. He may actually succeed in bringing the far-right wingnuts of the GOP squarely into the political middle, where he seems to be.
Whatever you now think about Donald Trump, remember it. You probably will be thinking differently about him come this fall.
Do not underestimate this man. You don't become a billionaire being stupid.
