Where Would You Put The Odds of Trump Being the Republican Nominee? [View all]

About 5 weeks ago, I would have said 100%, without a doubt. But now, I am pegging it at around 70%. One or two more bad weeks for Trump and the GOP and I think he will have a full blown mutiny on his (very tiny) hands.

But, friends, I want to know, what do you think the odds are that Trump actually makes it through the convention without being overthrown?
