The family? The kids? Seriously? They're depending on Trump's children to influence the Republican nominee enough to keep him from taking down a political party and destroying an election?

Just when I think it can't get any more Bizarro Land.

1. see the bolded word

There's absolutely no indication Trump is considering leaving the race, a move that would seem wildly out of character for a candidate who has prided himself on "winning" and grasped at any poll that shows him dominating an opponent.

THAT is what it's all about for Trumpenstein. It's eating him ALIVE he cannot dominate Hillary.

2. Yeah, that'll fix everything.

3. Kids are classic enablers as far as I can tell

[duncang]

4. A intervention?

Really? Get him to turn around and all of a sudden change all the way to his core? If he did pull off the appearance of going to general election mode and some how made it to the oval office what then? He would still be the same flawed person, but have the power of the presidency behind him. Are they fools? He has shown himself to be a dipshit and will stay a dipshit.

5. The damage has been done and it's irreversible.

6. I recommend a lobotomy. nt

7. The kids won't do anything which would risk them being cut out of the will.

If, as I suspect, Rump has early stage dementia, he'd be quite capable of such a stunt, and have not one regret. They have to toe the line, unless and until they can have him declared incompetent. I wouldn't be surprised if this is an ongoing conversation between them.

8. that family dynamic can't happen with the Trumps.

They are obviously ruled over by a narcissistic tyrant. They need to go all the way and non compis mento
him and have the straitjacket ready. Anything less will just make things worse for the Republicans. They won't like it either way.

9. If he drops out he'll insist one of his kids replace him

[GusBob]

10. He is thin-skinned, never takes advice, and never admits to any faults. IT WONT WORK

If anything it will backfire. He may play meek for awhile, but he will just explode in a bit and it will be worse.

Whats gonna happen most likely is some heads will roll on the campaign staff. Manafort first

11. "Manafort can't get between Donald Trump and his smart phone."

According to what Howard Fineman was told by the campaign, Trump sees his candidacy as all about his own visceral reactions bonding with the American people. He watches TV, gets excited about something, tweets, wins.

Well, it did bring him this far. We should remember that most conservatives do NOT like Trump. But most were ready to fall in behind him.

[GusBob]

12. "His own visceral reactions" have indeed carried him this far. People eat it up

well 36% of the rubes
