12. Don't coronate Pence for the nomination just yet

If it looks like Trump is going down, I fully expect a challenge for the nomination from Mitt Romney. He didn't get elected to the Senate from Utah just to experience the D.C. winter. He's learned from The Godfather, "keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer." I saw him make negative noises about Trump at The Atlantic Festival. And the Salt Lake Tribune is happy to report it:

Weld and Sanford probably think their star is rising, but they will be swept away by Mittens if Trump is truly toast. Remember, Bobby Kennedy didn't announce his campaign until after LBJ dropped out about April first of 1968, so there's plenty of time to mount a campaign for the GOP nomination, if it looks like Trump isn't going to get the nod.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
