I am absolutely elated that he crushed the Bush Dynasty and I will also be happy to see him crush the Clinton one too.

No more Bush's, no more Clinton's.
Right just chaos.

I think we'll get to the point where the nut cracks.

Any ideas as to what would happen if Trump were to drop out of the race now?
Of course Cruz would demand to be nominated and the establishment will never go for that.

Looked it up. Th party National Committee meets and votes in a replacement. Think of it as a superdelegate-only convention.

If they could pull it off and install Kasich, they'd likely win. As it is, Trump is going to take them down in flames.

Which is why I asked the question. If I am a GOP strategist, would be making every effort to get him to step down. Offer him an ambassadorship to Russia. He is seriously hurting his brand which seems to be the asset he values the most, or worse having to disclose his assets/tax returns. If more and more GOP elected members continue to openly pull away from Trump, it may come to this.

Or Pence could move up-ticket by appointment by the RNC and appoint his choice of veep.
Ideally, the orange moron will pull the party down with him by insisting he ride it out to the end.

Not content to trash the surviving Khans, the Trump campaign is now using their son's death to attack the President.

Lewandowski Claims Captain Khan Would Still Be Alive If Trump Had Been President
Explain to me what's wrong with what Lewandowski said, because I don't see it.

There's a good chance he would still be alive. After all he was killed in the BUSH/Clinton War of Imperial Aggression Based on Lies.

He may have died by some other means in the interim since 2004, but there is no reason to believe that Trump would have invaded Iraq if he were President.
