I look at the electoral map and it does nothing to contradict you. He will not take enough Independent or Liberals to take any of the blue states. They will vote for the real thing. I cannot see him pulling out Ohio, and that is enough to swing the election. Add to that, Florida, Virginia, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, and perhaps Louisiana and it starts looking like a landslide.
Then why won’t the Republican Party push for a brokered vote and get someone else in? We have seen that delegates seem to do what they are told. Can’t they see where this is headed? Or is the plan to lose this year?
