Is Trump tanking too soon?

[woolldog]

I'm worried that the GOP is going to come to their senses and nominate some one else during the convention.

Thoughts? Am I the only one worried about this?

DoctorJack what are the betting markets saying about this possibility?

1. If he were down by double digits nationally I'd worry.

A federal judge ordered the other day that the delagates have to remain bound so he will be their nominee. Let him tank after the nomination.

9. Link to the judge's ruling?

10. Sure

11. That ruling applies only to the VA delegates.

It actually says that the delegate cannot be punished for not voting for trump. And the ruling doesn't apply to the delegates from other states.

12. That's good. I think? Do you believe someone other than the Orange one will be nominated?

2. I'm of the school of thought...

...that moving Trump farther from the Oval Office is a good thing anytime.

5. The problem is anybody that replaced Trump is at least

80% as bad.

13. It astonishes me that with all the billionaires...

...with their fingers in the electoral pie, they couldn't drag even one somewhat sane candidate anywhere close to the finish line.

3. He'll be the nominee and he'll even probably get a bit of a boost in the polls

from the convention.

4. The national numbers don't mean a lot its the swing state numbers and he's not doing good there

... either among RV or LV voters.

His internal pollers are lying to him

6. I think some of his supporters think the inevitability of another terror attack

will help his campaign. I think some of them secretly hope for civil unrest so people will flock to the "law and order candidate"

7. The media is propping him up right now...

which is GOOD for us. Let them do it until after the convention when they'll be stuck with him.

[woolldog]

8. That's my thinking as well.

14. Extremists always run out of juice.

Trump loves escalating, but he doesn't have much more room for that, and risks boring the masses who are only there for the circus. I think he's peaked and knows it, I think he knows he can't defeat Clinton, and I believe he is looking for a way to quit and save face.

But I was saying the same thing ten months ago.
