An anonymous Politico survey of key Republican insiders find a whopping 70% want their nominee Donald Trump to drop out of the presidential race. “I’d rather take our chances with nearly anyone else than continue with this certain loser who will likely cost the Senate and much more,” one Republican told Politico.

“The effect Trump is having on down-ballot races has the potential to be devastating in November,” said another. “His negative image among Hispanics, women and independents is something that could be devastating to Republicans. Trump’s divisive rhetoric to the Hispanic community at large has the potential to be devastating for years to come.”

Despite the vast majority saying they wish Trump would drop out, 58% believe that he will not. “I also wish I could lose 20 pounds, cut 5 shots off my handicap and play the piano,” snarked one New Hampshire Republican.

Still, a shockingly large minority, 40%, say they think it’s possible Trump drops out. 2% of GOP insiders think it’s more likely that Trump drops out.
