What is the writer's opinion on Trump being the Republican nominee?
I'm a Republican lost.  So ashamed of Trump as our nominee.  Old enough to go pretty far back with Trump - always was a crook and a con artist - good at it too.  For anyone in middle America to actually 
believe Trump relates to their lives in any remote fashion - you are sadly mistaken.  He's about to launch an intense fund raising campaign - please don't do it.  "A fool and his money are soon parted."  He's counting on it!
