Trump is a fairly serious candidate now. No, I don&#x27;t think he&#x27;ll get the nomination, but I think there are going to be a lot of backroom deals here to make sure he doesn&#x27;t run third-party and spoil the election for the GOP.  I&#x27;m sure some more &quot;legitimate&quot; members of the GOP are trying to get his endorsement as well, which will strengthen his negotiation position.<p>What he&#x27;s trying to get is unknown, but he may get something like a cabinet-level position. Secretary of State Donald Trump should give all voters a moment of pause.
