NFW. Once he has to open up his personal finances to the FEC, he'll drop out. This is all about publicity.

Of course but I wonder if his ego will cause him to misstep and forget to drop out?

Did you see how he had his accountants doubled his self worth earlier in the week?

Keep in mind, ego's as grandiose as his can make one respond in unexpected ways.

This is more than an ego trip. Trump is voicing what the others feel but are afraid to say.

He is an outlet for their angst.

At what point will this be?

And are you sticking with this assessment now that he's apparently getting some traction?

He's definitely not in it for the long haul. What exactly will precipitate his departure is unclear (and it won't be for the reasons he states). The longer he stays in, the better. A bit of fratricide within the GOP Presidential-hopeful ranks would be welcome and highly entertaining.

I've heard that he's got two four week extensions beyond the FEC deadline.

Nope. I was wrong, as were many about Trump. That said, despite his current lead, I'm pretty sure he won't win the GOP nomination. If he does and runs against Hillary, I'll probably abstain from voting and drink heavily.

LOL but secure reasoned folks like Pat are the ones that do admit a mistake.

i, on the other hand, would never admit a mistake.
