Yes it’s very unfortunate we start league play in blue stadiums.

Whoever asked Trump that question originally put the dynamite in place, and now all the others are trying to light the fuse. They are like a bunch of five-year-olds ganging up on Godzilla.

Said in voice of Janis from Friends: “Ohh Muy Gawwww!!”

The oligarchy is so desperate they are still working the Oz screen even though the curtain is pulled and we can all see the little men sweatily working behind the scenes.

The two-headed oligarchy already voided their agreement with Trump so he is free to run third party. The GOP is most def not supporting him as they promised.

Should Trump get out, I believe a lot of his conservative supporters would go to Cruz. But not his Democrat and Indy supporters.

That's why Trump can win, and it's why Cruz can't.

Just ask yourself. Why would a guy who is overwhelmingly winning have an exit strategy?

Only a moron could believe crap like this!

Right? There could be a video of Hillary with the “good Muslim friends taking Ambassador Stevens to get medical care” raping him with objects in the streets of Benghazi, and the NYT would never run a headline about Hillary’s exit from the race.

NYT philosophy. If you say it enough times, people will think it’s true.

Maggie used to be an honest reporter (yes really) but now she has been forced to enter the Wile E. Coyote Frustration Ward contest. By the way Maggie the latest polls have Trump at 37% Reuters Ipsos, 31% Morning Consult (Carson 2nd with 13!) and a New Jersey college poll with Trump up 26 - 22. Exit Strategy Maggie Ha ha ha!

The press has a mantra every week that all the magpies repeat without critical comment. The week before, it was what a clown Trump was. Last week, it was Trump’s fall in the polls. This week, its the pending Trump exit from the race. Next week?

Every day seems like an eternity, during an American Presidential election — however, it only seems like a couple of weeks ago, when pundits were accusing Trump of planning to run as an independent, if he didn’t win the primaries. IOW, he was going to stay in the race, beyond the bitter end. Now, he’s being accused of intending to bail at the earliest opportunity.

Can there be any easier way to make money, than writing such speculative columns? No facts, analytical skills, writing skills, insider knowledge, or consistency required — and zero accountability to boot!

Mr. Trump...spoke about what would prompt him to quit a race in which he is currently leading

Weird how there's no mention of the fact that he was asked about quitting the race every time he spoke about it.

If Trump said he’d leave the contest when hell froze over, these chaps would promptly send every meteorologist they could muster to Hades.

The specific quote Trump made was "If I get down to 1 or 2 per cent" in the polls. And he only said that in order to jerk the chain of those that were already down in that range.

Of course, the media twisted it to make it seem like that if Trump went down in the polls by any amount, he would drop out.
