"SNIP............



For months, the press and the Republican establishment alike have been expecting the Trump bubble to implode. Now that it's clear Trump isn't going anywhere, we're seeing stories about a long slog of a campaign or even a brokered convention. But there's a very real possibility that, far from those kinds of days of reckoning, Donald Trump could actually "run the table." Ironically, Trump not only could win — he could win more decisively than any non-incumbent Republican contestant for the nomination since the dawn of the modern primary system.

Unlike others here I don't think he's going to totally implode. Well. It'll be interesting.

There is no good choice for the sane republicans and there are a whole bunch of them. He will implode in the general.

but I'm a pessimist about this. I was just in another thread about this and it was mentioned how Trump will have no problem pivoting and appealing to moderates. I think there will be enough bandwagon jumpers for him to pull it off. I hope I'm wrong and that I'm thoroughly ashamed of my negative attitude in 11 months.
