<snip>
Trump isnt going to let himself lose in any official capacity, of coursethat would go against everything the Trump brand stands for. So when his numbers start dropping, as they inevitably will and already have, Donald Trump is going to save face the best way he knows how: Quitting before its too late.
Remember, Trump had a blast during the primaries. Back then, he was free to spew any sort of nonsense he wanted. And not only did no one question him too seriously, but as his discourse became increasingly unhinged and racist, his poll numbers rose in kind. The more his poll numbers shot up, the more media attention he got. And for Trump, there is no purer joy. If Donald Trump is able to buy his way into heaven, its just going to be him reliving the 2016 primaries every day for the rest of eternity.
Now, though, the Democrats are just about done squabbling, Republicans are out of distractions, and the cold, sobering reality of what our nation has wrought is finally settling in. Now that the fun is winding down, the small-handed prince of our countrys most base anxieties is going to start looking for a way out. Hes already laying the groundwork, saying on Fox & Friends that it would be nice to have full support from people that are in office, full verbal support. With all of that being said, I may go a different route if things dont happen.
But what exactly is that different route going to look like? As I see it, Trump still has about four opportunities left to get out before its too late.

(111,110 posts)if he publicly asks his supporters to drop their support of him and support the new nominee of the Party. He will not be permitted to say how much money he will receive from the Republican Party. He will make a bundle and the Republicans will get back their "conservative" brand...
