Another possible thing is that the Lord is setting up a tag team. If Trump cannot push with endurance because of some fundamental limitation that he will not abandon in favor of a more godly perspective, then, e.g. Cruz might continue the race at that point.
I read you’re not happy with Trump because he’s got skeletons. Understood and even sympathized with to an extent. However the time may be coming where the Lord is setting up to show that He is doing a great work, not by the merit of men, but through His own merit. A mixed bag like Trump might play a part in this. I do not believe a Trump is as nearly to be feared in a demogogue role as a Hitler. Trump does not seem to be committedly enamored of fundamental evil.
It is his narcissism which scares me because it means that he has no spiritual North star and therefore is liable to chase after every breeze that blows and I think we have evidence of that his biography. This is really a spiritual condition and one which we ought to be wary of in all men who seek power. This is a worry I have about Donald Trump which makes me wary not a confirmed diagnosis by any means.
I think the First Amendment was made first for a reason.
