If Trumps numbers keep tanking POST convention

I really think he's going to bail.

A family..or medical emergency cover story will give him his out.

He has to save face if the inevitable writing on the wall says big time defeat.

He has falsely built up his name brand on the premise of being a winner...A#1...the king of NY...psychologically losing the election would crush him...no rebuttal. .no do overs. .no spin would change that fact.

I would love to see his face the day after the loss and TIME or Newsweek puts his face on the cover with a big red L on his forehead with the word LOSER below.

If he keeps tanking after Cleveland I think this scenario is very much in play.

I really do not think he'll bail in any other way than to simply stop campaigning at some point.

But under the "tanking poll numbers" scenario, I don't think whether or not he's on the ballot will be any consideration for Trump; that's the sort of thing he slots under "other people's problem." At this point, I think he's mostly about getting his "loans" to the campaign repaid (with interest, always with interest), and appearing before boisterous crowds of adoring fans. The rest of that nonsense doesn't capture Trump's attention.

Well I'm not sure I totally agree. Trump is a sociopath and he feels everything he does is superior to everyone else. He will deny the numbers, he will continue on even though the numbers may completely tank, and if Ms. Clinton wins (must say if right now...sorry), trump will not give the standard concession speech, he will try to make it something else, something like she stole it, or blah.blah....etc

But I could see him producing from the shadows some zany ass stunt like in Wag the Dog...Bill with a girl scout...Hillary is a lesbian alien who wants to dominate mankind... He is Chelseas REAL father..when it comes to Trump Monkey he's all about the sizzle and not the steak. Having National Enquire in his back pocket is the perfect vehicle to do this kind of stuff.


Now as far as his minions getting violent. .they have shown their true colors in that department.
