The OP is a talented fortune teller:

> [@POLL: Republican Nomination For U.S President.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-republican-nomination-for-u-s-president/724087/25):
>
> Donald Trump CAN’T increase his fan base.
> 
> There is absolutely NOBODY out there who hasn’t made up his mind about Trump and may yet be won over. Nobody.
> 
> There’s a chance, however tiny, that there are people out there who don’t know much about Cruz (or Jindal or or Rubio), and who might like him if they learned more.
> 
> But Donald Trump (who, I keep telling you, is NOT running!) can’t possibly win over anybody who doesn’t already like him. If anything, people will learn that he’s flip-flopped on all the big issues, and will abandon him.

> [@Donald Trump announces presidential run](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/donald-trump-announces-presidential-run/722679/116):
>
> Understand something:
> 
> Trump. Is. NOT. Running.
> 
> He can give speeches all he wants, but he hasn’t filed with the FEC as a candidate for President, and he isn’t going to.
> 
> As he always does, he’s going to milk this for a lot of publicity, and then drop out. He has no constituency, and he knows it. He doesn’t want to be President- he doesn’t even want to campaign. He just likes attention, positive OR negative.

> [@The 2016 Republican candidates](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-2016-republican-candidates/709444/1639):
>
> Nota bene: Donald Trump can talk all the crap he likes, but he’s not going to be the GOP nominee because he’s not actually running for anything. He doesn’t want to be President and doesn’t even want to run a campaign.
> 
> He hasn’t filed with the FEC and I’m certain he won’t.
