1. Wishful thinking.

He's too far in and his ego won't let him. He's already taking about that long vacation when he loses.

He wants this but he know he had his billions to keep him warm at night when he loses. And he'll be in the history books. He'll be famous. That's what matters.

2. I would not be so sure - I think he would rather drop out than lose

A while back Trump said that if he started losing there would be no reason to stay in the race.

These big business guys probably know something we don't.

[Sugarcoated]

4. Dropping out would also have the added benefit, at least for Trump,

of not letting Hillary get the actual win. Think of how the Repubs would use that.

12. "These big business guys probably know something we don't." DubyaTeeEff?

Oh they're big business men so they know more than we do.

3. Oh if it were that easy for Trump. Once he loses, or withdraws, his brand is ruined

Bookings at his hotels, and the ones that just license his name are down some 25%. His other businesses are suffering too as people pull back from patronizing someone what been proven to be not so reputable.

His laughable campaign has created a lot of ill will towards him as all the revelations of the shady business practices he deploys — not paying small business people and running scams like Trump University — have come to light.

Things are not going to be so rosy for him once this is over and it will start quickly.

In November the Trump University trial starts, the one with the Latino-American judge that he wanted removed because he claimed the judge was Mexican and therefore not qualified to preside over his case.

6. Also, according to this recent article in Newsweek, Trump lied about his "billions" in the past

About 10 years ago, Trump moved away from building things to just selling his name, which was slapped on everything from condos to meats sold through the Sharper Image catalog.

And while Trump is quick to boast that his purported billions prove his business acumen, his net worth is almost unknowable given the loose standards and numerous outright misrepresentations he has made over the years. In that 2007 deposition, Trump said he based estimates of his net worth at times on “psychology” and “my own feelings.” But those feelings are often wrong—in 2004, he presented unaudited financials to Deutsche Bank while seeking a loan, claiming he was worth $3.5 billion. The bank concluded Trump was, to say the least, puffing; it put his net worth at $788 million, records show. (Trump personally guaranteed $40 million of the loan to his company, so Deutsche coughed up the money. He later defaulted on that commitment.)

13. "He later defaulted on that commitment" ... go figure

For normal people we'd be in jail if we stole money. The rich get to steal and never see a single repercussion.

[MoonRiver]

16. I think you mean he'll be INfamous, big difference.

But maybe like an ODD Kindergarten kid, for Rump, negative attention is better than no attention.

[Purveyor]

5. He will call it "political bankruptcy" and walk away quite

proud of himself proclaiming how great a businessman he is.

I certainly wouldn't discount this..

[glennward]

7. Then he will be not only a loser. He will be a coward too. nt

[Joisey Boy]

14. He's already a coward

Just like most bullies.

[tenderfoot]

8. Thing is... he loses all of the time.

usfl, gambling casinos, airlines, universities, etc...

[Cosmocat]

11. Right

Nm

[fun n serious]

9. He won't drop out

He win fight til the end.. He once paid over a million dollars to fight a $34,000 lawsuit.

[canetoad]

10. LMFAO His kids will see 'a threat to his personal franchise'

A threat to their inheritance more like.

[summerschild]

15. I think it depends on what chaos he can develop

for after the election is lost.

I think he's sowing the seeds for insurrection right now. He can't have his party if he's not on the "rigged" ballot to get "cheated".

[JudyM]

17. He certainly must have some form of exit strategy planned. Nt

[0rganism]

18. i doubt the RNC is going to let their nominee just drop out on a whim

some of those behind-closed-doors meetings with the RNC a couple months ago probably involved them letting His Donaldness know that there would be... penalties for an early unscheduled exit.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

19. Ummmm.... if he drops out he will be doing so as the loser. What am I missing here...

[Doctor Jack]

20. He will stay in, lose, and claim it was rigged

Then he will spend the rest of his life claiming he was the rightful president but that it was stolen from him
