How is Donald Trump going to quit?

[cali]

<snip>

Trump isn’t going to let himself lose in any official capacity, of course—that would go against everything the Trump brand stands for. So when his numbers start dropping, as they inevitably will and already have, Donald Trump is going to save face the best way he knows how: Quitting before it’s too late.

Remember, Trump had a blast during the primaries. Back then, he was free to spew any sort of nonsense he wanted. And not only did no one question him too seriously, but as his discourse became increasingly unhinged and racist, his poll numbers rose in kind. The more his poll numbers shot up, the more media attention he got. And for Trump, there is no purer joy. If Donald Trump is able to buy his way into heaven, it’s just going to be him reliving the 2016 primaries every day for the rest of eternity.

Now, though, the Democrats are just about done squabbling, Republicans are out of distractions, and the cold, sobering reality of what our nation has wrought is finally settling in. Now that the fun is winding down, the small-handed prince of our country’s most base anxieties is going to start looking for a way out. He’s already laying the groundwork, saying on Fox & Friends that “it would be nice to have full support from people that are in office, full verbal support. With all of that being said, I may go a different route if things don’t happen.”

But what exactly is that different route going to look like? As I see it, Trump still has about four opportunities left to get out before it’s too late.

5. Health Issues or Family Issues.

As l0ng as he thinks it saves face.

6. The Alzheimer's. He gets a ton of sympathy afterwards too.

Then there won't be any need to bring up the rape lawsuit, the drugs, the bankruptcies, the tax evasion, the offshore accounts, the racism, the sexism, all that other Republlcan stuff ....

7. He'll be crushed in the landslide

8. I so want to see him at the Convention while chaos swirls around him like his hair in a hurricane

Pure comedy gold -- but quite possibly also like watching a horror movie: part of you knows you won't really die, but the rest of you is in sphincter-loosening terror.

10. Hostile takeover?

12. As phony

as their daddy. Indoctrinated into corruption.

16. creepy pic.

11. He will be paid off at the convention...

if he publicly asks his supporters to drop their support of him and support the new nominee of the Party. He will not be permitted to say how much money he will receive from the Republican Party. He will make a bundle and the Republicans will get back their "conservative" brand...

[sorefeet]

13. I think you are right

kentuck. It's a good possibility they will just buy him off. He would like that.

[flamingdem]

17. Yes I think so. It's all about the cash for

the Trumper. Well, and the appearance of "winning".

[Old Codger]

14. Wouldn't surprise me

If he came up with an imagined pretend insult and stormed off in a huff...be more his style
