I just had this crazy thought that Trump might quit before election

10. I agree.

The notion that he'll quit has been bruited about since last fall, and he's just reveling in the attention. No way he'll leave.

And I'm somewhat inclined to think that if he were elected, he'd assume he's so much better than everyone else in the world, that he'd happily serve. Until he's thrown out in some way. But there would be any number of awful things that would go down if he's in the White House. In no particular order: Almost no foreign head of state would have any respect for him. He'll be astonished that his bluster won't work elsewhere. He'll try to fire justices and judges he doesn't like, and won't fully understand he can't do that. On the other hand, he can fire cabinet members and will probably do so at a dizzying speed, each time some one of them tells him something he doesn't want to hear. He'll complain bitterly and publicly what a dump the White House is and may even simply move back to NYC. He won't bother much with cabinet meetings, and his first State of the Union address will simply be a lot of bombast about how wonderful he is.

With any luck at all, we will never get to experience this.
