      7. If Trump drops out it'll be after lagging in polls, pulling out everything he can against Clinton & facing prospect of defeat.

      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.

      9. One dynamic to watch is that Trump's relationship with RNC & GOP at large will get worse & worse.

      10. Trump could legitimately complain GOP isn't backing him, donor class not ponying up money. System rigged against him.

      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.

      12. Make no mistake: the GOP has handcuffed themselves to someone who will destroy them out of sheer spite: a Samson candidate.

      13. Technical question I have is if Trump does quit at some point, how late does GOP have to put someone else on ballot? Any one know?

      14. Point is: if Trump drops out it won't be a graceful exit and it won't be done to make things easy for GOP. Quite the reverse.

      15. This is right. Trump wants to have convention. His own televised coronation. https://twitter.com/jmstwn/status/743297772607012864 …

      16. The Cleveland Convention is going to be something else, by the way. Triumph of the Will but for meatheads.

      17. Anyway, that's it for this spiel. No convention coup, but maybe Trump drops out late in the race.

          Trumpie supposedly is in the hole around 50mil$ to his campaign. I suspect he'd wait till he got matching funds B4 dropping out

          your analysis is correct. However, him quitting gives some of his fans a psychological out to support someone else.
