He is very cunning. He knows how to use TV like no other candidate. If his biggest threats are Fiorina and Carson he has a chance to get the nomination.

He could become POTUS. But wouldn't know nothing. Unqualified for sure.

that people on both sides agree with- e.g. NAFTA, raising taxes on Wall St.

Trump: Let Putin fight ISIS in Syria
By Jeremy Diamond, CNN
Updated 0116 GMT (0816 HKT) September 28, 2015
Washington (CNN) - Donald Trump wants to flip the U.S. strategy against ISIS on its head, drawing down the America's involvement in fighting the militant group in Syria in favor of a greater Russian presence.
While most of his fellow Republican presidential hopefuls are calling for a bigger military effort to destroy the group, Trump said the U.S. should reduce its already small footprint in Syria. And in Iraq, Trump said he would be willing to send round forces to fight the radical militant group.
"Now let me just say this: ISIS in Syria, (Syrian President Bashar el) Assad in Syria, Assad and ISIS are mortal enemies. We go in to fight ISIS. Why aren't we letting ISIS go and fight Assad and then we pick up the remnants?" Trump said in a "60 Minutes" interview that aired Sunday on CBS.
Alternatively, the GOP front-runner said the U.S. should let Russia take the lead in battling ISIS in Syria, where the Russian government is allied with the Assad regime.
