Trump ain't the GOP nominee. Yet.

As Trump's mouth keeps working, his poll numbers keep falling.

The Republican nominating convention isn't until mid-July and by then, the nut with the orange on top may have alienated enough GOP officials and voters, so as to lose the nomination.

His threat has always been that if they "cheat" him out of the nomination, he'll run as a third party candidate, which will "supposedly" kill any chance for a Republican being elected president.

But his daily antics seem to alienate more and more people. And it's just possible that the Republicans will pick someone more electable (more sane) at their convention.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Personally, I'd like to see them keep him as their nominee. I believe that Hillary will bury him in a gigantic landslide.

So that's my opinion. What's yours? Will the Republicans nominate the guy who's becoming more obviously crazy day by day? Or will they sober up and nominate someone more electable?

It will reach a tipping point where he's toxic to everyone except ignorant bigots. I don't know if there are enough of them to make a difference.
