None of the past living Republican presidents are going. Only one living GOP nominee for president is going, Bob Dole.

I live in Australia so I don't get a vote on him, but his antics - and crass, ignorant hilarious-if-he-wasn't-so-serious sound bites - keep topping our news over here. This man becoming the next US president is a serious concern to most of us.
To answer your questions :
So what do you think Donald Trump will say about America?
Saccharine sweet, heart-swelling nonsense, mixed in with a healthy amount of cheesy gibberish and far too many handfuls of inaccuracies. Just a feeling I have. No idea why.
:/
What are his plans?
World domination, and to build a wall that Mexico will pay for, apparently. Aside from that, he flip flops too much to pin his actual views and plans down beyond "tilting at windmills" and "building a giant house of cards outside and it's about to get windy".
What about Hillary Clinton?
He's probably due to start attacking her female body parts and sex life with the vehemence he's dished out to the Fox journalist most notably during his campaign. He's been scarily restrained until now, for him.. sooner or later he's going to break from the pressure of keeping all those insults in. He doesn't seem to have much stamina, so it'll probably be soon now.
What do you think Donald Trump needs to say?
I think he *needs* to say that he is resigning. That he recognises he is not fit to be a businessman of any calibre, and definitely NOT fit to hold the position of President. Unfortunately, I doubt we're going to get that lucky. He seems convinced he's a viable canditate and would make a good president.. that so many people in the US seem to agree the thing that makes this whole thing so bizarre. I've known of him for many years and vaguely followed his bankruptcies, divorce, legal trouble over the uni, laughed at his ridiculous vodka, saw some early episodes of his apprentice show.. of all the Americans I saw on the news or in tv shows, never would I hae picked Trump for a presidential candidate. He has always been held up as an example of a bull**** businessman, the kind you steer clear of being like.. it's just bonkers how far his campaign has gone.
So. In the absence of him resigning. I think he could reasonably announce that he now realises building the ****ing wall is not feasible. "I wish we could go ahead and build it, it was a great idea yada yada but in business, in life, you learn things and get advice and new information and sometimes you realise you made a mistake. I made a mistake. I'm not ashamed to admit that. Blah blah rah rah America! etc."
That's about the only thing I can see giving the man even a modicum of credibility internationally, and shake Democrats in the US. He's a joke, a wild cards. That may or may not be enough to get him enough votes on the day, but he's not winning many votes from undecideds at this point from my understanding, they don't like what he has to say. So the logical move to make for a politician at that stage is to switch position on a key platform in such a way that doesn't alienate current supporters, but appeals to the sensibilities of those undecided or willing to consider switching sides. Whether he has the sense to do this or not, I don't know, but he has a team of experienced campaign people around him, so I'm sure it's been raised and considered at least.

Good grief.
This is going to be something no one was probably expecting about a year ago. I'm not kidding, I never thought Trump would make it this far.
I think I'm going to watch the Democratic National Convention more. I want to at least be able to hear "small, insecure money grubber" again, which he is one.
