You and I clearly have different definitions of "masterful." He has been surprisingly successful so far, but his campaign has been a series of bizarre stunts and many glaring missteps that had to be immediately back-pedaled.
If he wins (and to be clear, I don't have a crystal ball, but I doubt he wins in November. My prediction is a democratic landslide even bigger than 2008), he will only have won because he took the nomination of a political party that is fracturing at the seams, and ran against a historically unpopular candidate on the other side (while being even more historically unpopular himself).
He would really be the "accidental president" if that occurs, and that is the nickname I am now proposing for the Trump presidency if it comes to fruition.
