There is one thing that will make Trump even madder...An real opponent at the convention..

..Someone highly respected in the Republican Party who will point out the lies, and run against him at the convention..
.....Of course this is very highly unlikely, but anything can happen, and already has.

If they turn on him now, they'll lose all his supporters. They'll just stay home, and the results will be the same.

The Drumpf voters would Never vote for Romney. Not after what he did. And they can't win without all the Cult Members.

I think Dump’s ego won’t let him step aside. I also think most Repukes are cowards. Cowards that won’t accept responsibility for their part in this.

They are all treasonous.

He has been getting 99% of the delegates in every primary and caucus.
This is the third post I've seen about a challenge to him at the convention; it can't happen.

He has done zero to try to win new voters and he's lost his previous voters in droves. No way he can win. I've been thinking for awhile that he may just be shocked at the convention to not get the nomination.

Bill weld is waiting in the wings to challenge impotus at the convention. He still ran in primaries that states didn't cancel so he did pick up some delegates, I think. Whatever the actual situation, last time I saw him during the primaries he said he was planning to do that.
