I agree with John on this, but then you will probably blame it on my HDS affliction, as if that proves anything. From the very beginning I have maintained that Hillary is ill qualified to be President and that still holds true regardless of the 14 million votes she gathered, effectively a choice of one and she should have run away with the nomination.

GOP is also watching this carefully and I believe they are poised to launch a new candidate at their convention, not named Ted. How they do it, who knows. There is already a move to change the rules for nomination. If that happens, Hillary winning the Presidency diminishes considerably.

In the interim all Hillary and Hillarybots can seem to do is keep telling everyone how bad Trump is. It's like elevator music, it never gets any better. Or Klipsch, even with the Crites mod.

Won't be long before he accuses her of being Muslim. (As if there is anything wrong with being Muslim) 😏

I think he's gonna ditch. Look at his campaign. Does he look like someone who's taking the campaign seriously or does it look like he's playing a game? And the specter of someone else taking the GOP helm, that should worry Clinton.

He's taking it as seriously as he takes anything. He's always been a flim-flam man.

However, he won't back down. He will make them strip the nomination from him in Cleveland, and there will be blood. That will fatally weaken the substitute.

Trump's supporters will sit this one out.

If the GOP power brokers are able to keep his funding dry, he will be forced to ditch. Despite his bravado about self funding, he is tight wad and will never shell out money out of his pocket, especially since by then he will be a long shot. So yes he could ditch.

Fascinating to see an election unfold where neither party can control their electorate, not that they made it any easier on themselves by selecting Trump and Hillary.

Not if it means defeating Hillary, hatred will win out in the end. Just my prediction, not to be confused with HDS or HB.

At this point he can coast to Cleveland. They will have to use the long knives to stop him.

I believe they will. Hillary is beatable but not By Trump. If elected, Hillary will have the opportunity to flip the Supreme Court. The GOPers will do anything to prevent that.
