(32,886 posts)He is a very distant fifth in just about all of the above with no hint of movement. He is hated by the non-establishment, and is the establishment's second or third choice at this point. He's on the wrong side of the Republican electorate on the top two issues they care about.
Even assuming he makes it to the convention, which seems like less than a one in one hundred chance right now, any political party would see it as obvious suicide to select someone who is performing as poorly as he is versus any of the folks doing better than him.
There really is no there, there, and this insistence by some here that he is still a relevant thing to talk about in the GOP nomination race is ludicrous.
