23. I think there is a chance

That if Ivanka could convince him a)he's not going to win and b)his only guarantee to stay out of prison is to drop out and support Haley (who has already said she would pardon him) - he would drop out. That's why they will go with "medical issue" so its not like its because he is going to lose.

And I know he has accepted the nomination. But do the last eight years make you think Republicans care about rules and procedure? Of course they don't. They will say dropping Trump now is no different than Democrats dropping Biden before the DNC and everybody will go along with it including the media, courts and Democrats.

And I know there are Trump supporters who don't like Haley. He'll tell them to vote for her; they'll listen.
