When will Donald Trump drop out of the 2016 campaign ?

[steve2470]

I think he will take us for a ride until just before the RNC convention. We'll see.

1. The evening of November 8th, 2016

[merrily]

2. I voted fudge because someone gave me a pound of great fudge this week.

I have no clue when or if Trump will drop out. If and when he loses big time in the polls, maybe?

3. what is 6 times 9? n/t

[fredamae]

4. As soon as folks start

showing walker some real love, en masse'?

[Nitram]

5. A decent interval after winning the Iowa primary.

[CTyankee]

6. When he gets bored with it.

Once the hard, boring work of campaigning sets in he's gonna go on to his next "deal." He likes to close deals, remember, not to keep hammering them...

[wendylaroux]

7. that's what his

x-wives said.

8. truimp

i will build wall

9. I agree. I am not sure what his game is but....

I see no upside for him to actually be President.
He would have to distance himself from his businesses.
He would lose the intimidation (power) factor because he can't go around suing people.
He would actually have to govern which is much more difficult than one sentence sound bites.
He loathes losing.
He cannot take any criticism at all. Look at the twitter responses (and if you think he actually takes the time to twitter I have a bridge to sell you). He responds to criticism by name calling or lawsuits. Even he knows that wouldn't work in DC.
I think the only reason he is running as a republican is because he knows that their base eats up bullshit, bigotry and fear which is all he is selling. There are not any buyers for that kind of idiocy in the democratic party. He is a marketing guy and he is going after the low hanging fruit.
His end game? I don't have a clue yet. Maybe it is exactly what it looks like...narcissism.

10. yes good analysis nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. What says he won't try doing those things anyways?

And essentially daring Congress to impeach him.

He's not mentally stable. And the prospect of someone that mentally unstable in the White House is too scary to embrace the whole "Lord of GOP Chaos" prospect. The downsides are just too huge. I honestly think we could see a Constitutional Crisis if this man somehow makes it into the White House.

[Bonhomme Richard]

22. I don't see it happening.

He is a narcissist but he isn't crazy. Donald always does what is best for Donald. Being President isn't one of them.
We will see.

28. Great post. I don't get him giving up his business either

but then I dontbthink Cheney threw everything he had into a blind trust either. Maybe that isn't done anymore and we just don't need to know that.

Yes the right loves them some authority and belligerence. Trump is as belligerent as they come.

11. I have said from day one he's a tool to make the other GOP candidates look

half sane.

[geek tragedy]

12. when he gets bored nt

[Lee-Lee]

13. When he figures he can exploit the most profit from the stunt

Look for it to coincide with a new TV show deal...

[steve2470]

14. that does make a lot of sense! nt

[brooklynite]

15. You need to define your terms...

...I believe he'll drop out of the GOP race and run as an Independent. How do you score that?

[steve2470]

17. hm...that would still be in the race, just not as GOP nt

[Kablooie]

16. He's going to be the Republican candidate.why not just accept it?

[steve2470]

19. if he is, I don't know whether to be delighted or horrified nt

[Kablooie]

20. Just wait until he's president. Then you can decide.

[steve2470]

21. ugh nt

[B Calm]

23. Newsman, why did you vote for Trump? Voter says, he gave my grandson a ride in his helicopter!

[Kablooie]

24. Trump really knows how to go for the vote!

[Attorney in Texas]

25. Shortly before the convention when Bush (or possibly Rubio or Walker) mathematically locks up the

nomination.

[RKP5637]

26. Trump will buy the presidency and then sell it to the Koch Brothers for a tidy profit!

[Gothmog]

27. Trump has to decide sometime before early December if he wants to do third party run

For example, in Texas by December 14, 2015 Trump has to either file to run in the GOP primary or file to run as an independent. He can not do both.

If Trump is serious about a third party run, there are a number of deadlines like this before the end of 2015.

I do not take Trump's threat to run as a third party seriously.

29. It can seem easy to rule him out in the long run.

Thing of it is he's been running right along since he jumped in. And it seems he's spending his own money . One opinion that pops up in the media within all the hoopla is don't underestimate Trump. That view to it seems to counter the view point that they will tire of Trump or Trump will tire of it.

What's he really up to is a question too. For as long as he remains the star,he's in ,mathematically and otherwise.

30. When the number of clowns in the car.....

is down by 2 3rds.
