5. I don't buy the idea that Trump is scared of winning & is self-sabotaging. He's a narcissist & thinks he'd be a great president.

6. If Trump drops out it won't be for fear of winning but for fear of losing. Worst thing for him is to lose. To a woman!

8. Also if Trump does drop out he'll do it at a point where it will cause maximum damage to GOP. He'll blame party & want to take it down.

11. Last fall Trump told a friend: “If I’m going down, then Bush is going down with me." That's also his attitude towards the GOP.
