Trump would need to quit (or die) to be replaced, and I don't think his huge ego will allow him to quit.

The only way enough Trump supporters would jump ship to Romney is if Trump quit and proclaimed that his candidacy was a charade to help Hillary win. That idea has floated around for awhile, so many people (especially Clinton haters) might be willing to believe it.

I don't foresee that happening either because it would be suicide to Trump's brand. It's taken strong hits already, obviously, but that would be an obvious death blow that Trump wouldn't accept.
