By CHRISTOPHER M. MATTHEWS March 18, 2016 2:18 p.m. ET Donald Trump and his real-estate school are headed toward a potentially unprecedented trial this year that could feature the Republican presidential front-runner taking the stand, barring a surprise ruling from a New York state judge or a last-minute settlement.

Hmmm,that might keep him in the race against his will. If he is the alleged Republican nominee,the RNC will get a law passed setting aside any trial until after the election,and if he wins,until after he has served out his term of office.
The chances of a former US president being forced to testify in court of being convicted of fraud are less than zero. Every judge that draws a breath dreams of a higher office,and all of them know issuing a subpoena to a former president would be the death of any jurist career.

Seems like almost anything is possible these days,doesn't it?
I'm not going to be surprised if he picks JEB to be his running mate. Think of all the business contacts in Asia and south/central America that would open up for him if he did.

Imagine the conundrum that'd be for fans of Trump the "outsider".
OTOH, I think maybe Mizz Palin can see the VP hut from her house.
