Was this way with Perot too. Not a chance in hades to win, yet so many conservatives bought into his simplistic, populist nonsense. Perot was less clown, more erratic old chap - but the same thing is at play.
Once Trump realizes he can't win the GOP nomination, there is at least some chance he will run independent and do nothing but siphon off some % of right of center voters. He won't break the GOP, teach the GOPe a lesson or start a revolution, no, he'll just hand the keys to the White House to Hillary. And no, he won't win Democrats, "moderates", Hispanics, etc. Just some angry, misguided folks on the right.
You're totally wrong about the that. Perot had an outstanding chance to win before he dropped out and sabotaged his own campaign. From June, 1992:
And Trump has an excellent chance to win if he runs a smart campaign on the issues.
