If Trump doesn't want to be President any more, having the nomination "stolen" from him at the Convention after winning the most delegates and states, allows him to maintain his "winner" brand and play martyr to his supporters for years to come.

If the choices are a humiliating defeat in November against Hillary which is pretty likely given he won't be able to expect much GOP support, then this is the best option for him to maintain his brand.

The Trump candidacy reminds me so much of the Jesse Ventura for Governor candidacy back in ‘98. I know. I saw a lot of it up close.

Ventura was all about running his mouth, chest-puffing and posturing.

Trump is pretty much the same thing.

The author makes several blunders.

1) The People have voted for Mr. Trump.

2) The GOP contenders are losing by electoral count
and are involved in slimy and globalist dealings.

3) The article is mean and fabricating
rather than journalistic.

Just remember- at this point in his campaign the brilliant media pundits were saying that Ronald Reagan would lose to Jimmuh Carter by 20 points.

Cruz folks in bed with the Lefties, cheering on protests and loving every word from liberal media.

What a bunch of frauds.

Oh hell this is Salon, now a respected media outlet on FR by sCruzifers.

This is not worth the bandwidth on FR.

Hey springwater do they serve lunch at the sCruzifer campaign office where you work?

All of these theories are intended to deflate enthusiasm for Trump.

Trump’s brand would be fine even if he lost to Hillary in the general election. He could still spin it to his advantage, especially because unlike Mitt, he would fight hard to win.

Isn’t the original theory of Salon and others that Trump’s goal is to make sure Hillary wins?

Trump ran for one primary reason. He wanted to knock Bush out of the race. That’s why he ran. Doing so would give him clout as a business guy, but primarily it is about the fight between him and the Bush family. It has morphed into something much more that he can’t stand to lose.

The headline speaks the truth. Trump is doing this as a challenge. He won just about everything else he wanted in the business world, and sees the presidency as something he should have too.
He is a sore loser. If he is the nominee a democrat wins. He is flaming out. I hope he drops out in time to give the nomination to someone less objectionable.

Let me guess. You've watched every episode of The Good Wife.

Madman? Really? I wish I was mad like that. I could live in the clouds on 5th Avenue looking down on the Plaza and gorgeous Central Park, turn right and see the magnificent Sherry Netherlands and all the cute carriages and draft horses on Central Park South. Yeah, I wanna be mad like that.

I favor Trump but he needs to smooth out his rhetoric, be better prepared, and put away his conceit.

RE:”The hard truth is: Trump only cares about Trump.”

His sore lose bitching and whining and insults after his WI loss was the lowest we have seen in our lifetimes for that type of race.

Hopefully Americans were watching.

Blaming ‘Conservative talk radio’ ???

Sounds like something Grahamnesty would do.

I’m a Cruz supporter, but I figured once Trump blew off the Macy’s, Miss Universe, Apprentice and other deals, he was all in.

He would do well to do his homework or hire people to do it for him (that’s not a slam). Attacking Walker in Wisconsin and the fight for Act 10 was not the best move to make in a Republican primary.
