at the RNC with this question.
"What does it mean that the last Two GOP Presidents and their brother plus the last two party nominees plus the host states Governor are not here and are not endorsing Donald Trump"?

Want to count how many times anybody gets ask that?
My money is on zero.

1. I'm sure trump's base doesn't care about those establishment types that have let them down...

in the past. Nor do they care particularly, if he is politically correct or not. The republican party is divided now and we must take advantage of that.

2. His base is not enough to elect him. Confine him to his base.

Excellent interview question.

Also: "You insisted on tax returns for VP candidates. The American people insist on tax returns for Presidential candidates. The IRS is not blocking your tax returns. Where are your tax returns?"

3. So many admire him for his imagined business

prowess that I'd like to see tax returns and other questions, including his routine practice of welching on his debts, in every interview. Popping that balloon would even hit him in the base, though a "confine him to his base" strategy sounds really good.

4. Or ask him for financial proof of his business success

let's see his income taxes!

The anti-establishment sentiment helped him win his party's nomination. But they are likely not going to help him enough in the general election.

5. I'm sure they're ready for that one with a non-answer

It will be something like. "That's not important. We're here for 'murica and to get the gays away."

6. Or "Why haven't you released your taxes..."
