to the majority. Trumps fans are 30% of just republicans- no one else can stomach him. He is no threat to Clinton.

Bernie has enthusiasm and the good will of 60% of all voters. It would be a totally different outcome.Republicans would do better with any other candidate except Cruz.

I think it would be more likely that Trump drops out on his own. The investigations his lies have triggered are going to lead to prison (his tax findings, University just two), his hotels are down half, his breaking of building laws are surfacing. Will he let his empire fall for a bid to be president?
