You are entitled to your opinion, but no, I don't think Trump has advisors that are familiar with political process. His show is driven by his media appeal and his money. Cruz has toasted his ass in many states simply because he has a better campaign. Trump is all about Donald.
Trump has been a bit naive in that he seemed to thinkthat winning the popular vote or the caucus was all that was needed, and once he won a state he made the catastrophic mistake of pulling all his people out and going to the next state. He did not realize that he had to keep his people in the game even after winning to make sure that his delegates were actually his own people.
This is a factoid that undermines my confidence that he can learn new topics without blundering into a hrad lesson via the School of Hard Knocks on Your Noggin.
You dont have that luxury as POTUS. Still he is better than all of them except Sanders.
