Show of hands: Who here thinks the RNC will allow 45 to be the 2020 GOP candidate for POTUS?

Personally, I think they'll jettison him.

That is so very long from now. Look what has happened in the last six months. I have no idea where we all will be in 2020.

If he lasts until 2020, who can oppose him? He owns them.

What makes us think the Republicans who have supporting him will suddenly get a conscience or grow a spine?

He will name it the "America First" party and Putin will once again be his campaign manager.

The RNC never wanted him.

Remember he beat out 17 candidates including some experienced politicians.

The RNC wanted Rubio, Cruz, or Bush ... Never Trump.

They may recruit a challenger but if Trump wins the primaries ... he's the candidate.
The RNC doesn't have super-delegates.

Either way - it's going to be fun to watch
