Will Trump quit when the GOP announces their new candidate today. It will give him a

legitimate reason to get out of the race and save face.

[Loki Liesmith]

1. What?

[rjsquirrel]

5. Rumor of the day

is that anti-Trump GOP idiots plan to launch some loser as a fifth candidate in the race.

Likely bulllshit as usual.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. Oops on you

[rjsquirrel]

16. Not really

This guy is a joke. By next week this will be over.

8. Joe Scarborough said their will be an anouncement today.

[KewlKat]

2. No, his mental state would not allow him to be a quitter.......he'd rather lose, claim "rigged" and

destroy our country and his "adopted" party.

He's in it to win and he's told us many times......he can do this alone as he's said before........may our country survive this!

[LAS14]

12. I'd say he's easy with quitting. Look at all his bankruptcies. nt

3. Or, he'll double down and declare open war on never Trump GOPers.

[Chasstev365]

4. Huh? What are you referring to?

[rjsquirrel]

7. The daily bulllshit

[mucifer]

6. I heard it wouldn't be easy to get a candidate on the ballot in all the states

[Ilsa]

10. True, but they are willing to bring suits to change that,

from what I heard, and even acknowledge that it isn't about the new one winning. It's about making certain Trump doesn't get anywhere near the WH.

11. Here are the rules.

They can also try for a write-in, but that also is governed by a specific states rules and deadlines also listed in the link I provided

9. Joe may be trying to light the fuse

Make the idiot child blow up again. Good for ratings you know. As much as Trump thinks he is a master manipulator, it is proving incredibly easy for the media to manipulate him.

[longship]

13. Ridiculous speculation.

That Drumpf really does not want to be POTUS. Or that he will somehow bow out. Or that there is somehow a mechanism to replace him.

Ridiculousness! Absurdities!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. They don't want to replace him. They want to stop him. Another

voice against Hillary is not what we need but it will insure she's in the WH.

[longship]

18. Well, I think he's too dumb to see what's what.

Or too blinded.

Something other than "not wanting to win".

He wants to win alright. I am not entirely sure he knows how to do that.

That is my hypothesis.

Who knows? We are in uncharted territory here. But I cannot accept that he somehow doesn't want to win or that he is somehow deliberately sabotaging the GOP (which is another crazy conjecture).

I think what we are seeing and hearing from Drumpf is how he truly is. It is not a very favorable view. Thank goodness.

My best to you.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. Agree. He wants to win, being the narcissist he is, for sure. Guess what may

be more accurate is that he didn't expect to win. And, there's the point that he could be so narcissistic he'd rather quit than face the bitter end loss. Reminds me of an old boyfriend who whenever facing a sure loss at Monopoly or backgammon, would somehow "accidentally" knock the board over.

But, don't know if he can get to the point he is realistic enough to know he will lose. Thinks all his minions will come out without coaxing like during the primary.

Taking all his antics off the table, Trump was not smart enough to realize that a non-establishment platform could never be successful because you have to have the establishment to support you and GOTV. He might have been much more successful waging it as an Independent.

[mainstreetonce]

17. I wonder if this is a candidate

that Cruz will come out and stump for? He's been so quiet.
