The problem with that, of course, is if Trump is playing everyone as a fool and plans to veer left if nominated.

You don't know that. Since his mantra is to make America Great Again, why would he keep steering the ship in the same direction?

If Trump gets the nomination he will have a mandate to turn the country around.
