17. A lot of us are going to make a decision closer to the election based upon circumstances at the time

If it appears that there is little or no help to the GOP by going Third Party or staying home, I think that's what's going to happen. As it is, aside from Trump and Bernie supporters, this appears to be a low-turnout primary season. The election will likely follow suit because the establishment candidates are a major turnoff to a very large percentage of the electorate, across the board.
