In reply to the discussion: I don't think tsf will be the nominee [View all]MineralMan
(151,076 posts)53. You could be right. I've been having the same feeling.
Trump is more fragile than most of us think. And he's suffering one piece of bad news after another, mostly due to his visits to courtrooms.
At some point, he might just turn away from it and attempt to salvage something he can live with.
I'm not predicting that, but it seems a definite possibility to me. He's facing losing a big pile of money, and money is his "precious." If he becomes unable to maintain his accustomed lifestyle and standard of living, he's going to implode, I think.
We shall see. It's a long time until the convention. If he does fall apart, the very best thing about that is that the GOP has no backup plan. No plan whatsoever. And that makes me smile, whenever I think about it.

I hope you're right, though I won't believe it until it happens. And I disagree that we need to stop talking about tsf.

And his small-time donors are tapped out. His big-time donors only bet on a sure thing.

The only way he's not the nominee is if he makes a deal to endorse a different candidate in

yep good questions. Add to it the question that even if he does win, a 'self-pardon' is questionable. nt

Unless his cholesterol catches up with him, he will be the nominee. 100%. We need to accept that.

His base doesn't care about 91 indictments and a half billion dollars in judgments.

He will...too late for someone else and his hardcore supporters are big primary voters.
