Where is "The Donald" Going?

Posted on 07/27/2015 5:43:17 AM PDT by jstaff

Without regard to personal preferences for GOP presidential candidate, I'm curious as to what everyone thinks is going to happen with Trump. Here's my unofficial, and uninspired, poll.

Will Trump:

A. Stay in and win the GOP nomination

B. Stay in and lose the GOP nomination

C. Drop out and run as an independent

D. Drop out and give up his bid

I'll tally up and post the results in a couple of days if there's any interest.

Not win the nomination and flip flop on whether or not he will run third party...

The Donald will have a great time blasting the establishment, then bow out and give his support to Cruz. He will want, in return, to be an adviser to some degree when Cruz/Fiorina win the WH. I don’t think The Donald really wants the job. I think he loves the spotlight and making mincemeat of the wimps.

So, D.

Drop out or switch to 3rd party once it becomes clear he can’t win the GOP nomination.

As to flip flopping, he will continue doing that as he has all along - and Trumpsters will continue to forgive the fact that he is not a conservative, has no history of being steeped in conservative thought, has a long track record of supporting liberal issues and candidates - basically all the things they would not forgive were it any other GOP candidate.

Cruz isn’t going to pick Carly as a running mate. That’s ludicrous. She’s too RINO for him.

“C;” that’s been his plan from the beginning. He’s got Perot written all over him.

If he is for real then he wont live to see the primaries. “They” will kill him. I suspect he’s really not in it to win it.

My guess is “C”, which will result in Hillary Clinton winning the election with the lowest percentage of the popular vote in American history.

The Donald doesn’t play to lose. I think I’ll vote for “The Rent’s Too Damned High,” fellow. Is he running again?

Something changes a man when he realizes he has fewer years ahead of him than behind him. I suspect we are seeing a man who wants to make a difference and leave a legacy other than mine.

Either Trump fatigue will roll in, or he’ll quit the race when the hired-hit bimbos start to seize the narrative.
Or maybe he’ll just refuse to release his health records and that will sink him.

As a former NYer, I have watched Trump for over 35 years.

He's not the kind to bow out. As has been said, there's only one candidate who can destroy Trump's candidacy...and that is Trump.

Furthermore, if Trump were going to flame out, it would most likely be in the early stages when he was getting his sea legs. He would say something off the cuff that would blow him up.

Well, he has said stuff that should have blown him up, but he just kept going.

The press has taken his off the cuff remarks and sliced and diced them to blow him up, and he has simply blasted the press in his speeches as lying...and the audience heard it loud and clear.

And as to his audiences, they have as much as said, "we don't agree with everything he has said or done, but we like that he is a fighter, an iconoclast, his authenticity, and the fact that he isn't PC...and we think the other candidates just fade away in comparison. We are desperate and want our country back again."

Therefore, I say "A"!

If Cruz wins, she will be on his short list, if not be the one selected.

I think he's in it to win it, and if he thinks he needs a woman who can handle Hildabeast (IF she wins), Carly will be his running mate.
