Will the GOP play it safe and bring in Mitt Romney or go with Gov Nikki Haley?

Trump has done his thing and knows it is time to move on.

IMO, since they know who they will be running against; I'm going to assume the Gov of SC.

one way or another.

Winning is all that matters to the GOP, and if Trump is to risky, they will go with another candidate.

Hillary had better pray that Trump stays in.

He will go down in flames in November believing until the very last moment that he is going to win big - and then he will claim the results were rigged - "illegals by the millions were allowed to vote, blah blah blah." Wait for it.
