(7,838 posts)do what he can to get over on anyone and everyone, and no doubt has several pathways figured out to achieve it. He will not put himself in position to be a loser, wasting a year of his time and money just to get crushed, rejected, fired.
No need for a vast RW conspiracy...he holds the cards here. His choice. I agree he won't make it to November...and now that there's no HRC indictment, I bet the behind the scenes activities are moving into place quickly now.
He'll quit. He'll either get paid off...or...he'll sue the RNC for lack of support, undermining his brand, compensation for time and money, etc. He will profit from this adventure, one way or another. He won't allow a general election loss and he won't chance the convention delegates ousting him.
I agree with OP. Dems need to be ready.
