4. I can't get past the unease that he is just a stalking horse.

That come election time we're going to end up with a 3 way and no one will get the 270.

Pursuant to the Twelfth Amendment, the House of Representatives is required to go into session immediately to vote for president if no candidate for president receives a majority of the electoral votes (since 1964, 270 of the 538 electoral votes). (wiki)


I think the gop is going to field a 3rd candidate who is not a severe social conservative and an economic conservative (a lot like someone I'm not allowed to talk about) -- a different not-Trump candidate but lacking a high disapproval.

Not to replace Trump cause they can't -- but to widen the field. Even republicans know how to play chess.
