Premature Ejection - We need Trump to stay a little longer

Although there are cries for Trump to throw the towel in, we need him to hang in there a little longer. Like until late October. His self-immolation in process while helpful and amusing, is coming a little too early. Every day he stays in the race, the better it gets for us. If he exits too soon, there is likely time to prop up a replacement, any of which will be better. The challenge: How to keep him in before he completely implodes...ignoring him as HRC is, does not help.

I find that highly doubtful, but it's indeed a risk. I absolutely don't trust him with the nuclear codes.

Want him gone because he is an embarrassment to our country and he can encite violence. The damage has already been done by the Reps. For a while it was humorous watching this building of a train wreck. But now it sickens me. I would prefer to just see him go away, along with his disgusting followers.

i'm certainly feeling good about our prospects in november, but trump has a far better chance than some previous candidates.

no one has ever dropped out after winning the nomination.

winning threatens world peace. This is not a game. Current forecasts still give him a chance of winning. If it is "only a 35 or 20 percent" chance that is too high.

and that person (or animal or any life form) will be better than him and tighten the race even more.
