Are Trump's Supporters Being Had?

I am not the conspiracy type but something seems to be rotten in the State of Denmark when it comes to the way the Trump Campaign is unfolding now that he is guaranteed to win his Party's Nomination.  

Simply stated, his Campaign has gone from confrontation to One Big Love-in.

Most of his previous opponents now profess to like him and many have actually made it known that they would like nothing better than to be part of his Presidential Team assuming he can beat dear Hillary. 

Remember if you will the slings and arrows Donald Trump cast at them all while they were still active candidates.  He was quite nasty; and now, it's let bygones be bygones?

Not only that, but the Republican Establishment now too appears to be coming onside.  These are the same guys and gals The Trumper vowed to axe should he attain office. And it seems like only yesterday when they vowed to support anyone buy Trump and said some very rude things in so doing.  

Oh Yeah - it was but 'yesterday'.

Even Senator John McCain, whom Trump called a coward for being taken prisoner by the North Vietnamese, is now on record as saying that he too will support the Donald in November's Election.  

It begs the question as to what is going on here.

So let's take a step back for a second or two.

The general consensus is that Trump has done well because voters believe they have been taken for granted by their political masters. Politicians say one thing at election time and then once in office, do the exact opposite. 

So now after watching their guy cut and thrust his way to the Nomination, they see him saddle up to the 'enemy' and make lovey- dovey.

Do they see this to be the tactics of a traditional politician?

Frankly, dear Reader, I do not know - I am not American - nor am I a staunch supporter of his.  But it does cause me to reflect.

In the end, would it not be rich to see Trump fall into line like all those politicians before him.

He'll have some very disappointed supporters but probably ones that will not be all that surprised since that is all they have ever known.

As I see it...
