The only thing that will save us from a Trump candidacy is his EGO. He does not

have the ability to put his winning/losing in the hands of someone else.

In order words he can not pick a VP, same problem that Ross P had.

IMO, the first decision of a candidate will be their most important. I think the other candidate wantabes should get ready for the question.

1. He will also try to present himself as the Savior of this country,

and that he and only he can solve all of our difficult problems.

Along the way to the nomination, he will be well challenged by the other Republicans out there, and even by the mainstream media. If he were to get the nomination (the mind boggles), no matter who our nominee is, that person will (and certainly better) challenge him on all fronts, to be specific about his plans and programs, explain his four corporate bankruptcies. And so on.

Although I agree, he won't make it very far into the primary season, although it could be quite fascinating to watch him spend millions of his own money on an independent run. Heck, I'd be tempted to see if I could get a paid position in that campaign just to get a tiny share of his money.

3. He knows he canot pick a VP so he will begin backing out and not spend any of his money, he

always works with others money.

2. I don't want to be saved from his candidacy.

I want the Republican party to suffer it every day until the landslide election.

5. He could backout at the convention and the convention would need to choose his replacement.

I would not be surprised.

7. I disagree here.

If he stays in the race through the primary season and actually clinches the nomination, I don't see him backing out. His ego is far too great for that. I make absolutely no bets on who he'd pick for VP, other than it would probably be someone as incompetent to be President as he is.

But it's simply difficult to see him hanging in there any length of time.

4. Save us from it? I hope for it.

He is unelectable. If he is the nominee we win, easily.

If he loses and gets so upset that he runs as an independent, he should draw enough crazies from northern Florida and southern Ohio to give us both of those critical swing states.

The better he does, the better we do.

6. Why do you hate Making America Great Again?

8. Christi, Perry, Rubio and some lesser runners could subjugate their egos

to run as Trump's V-P. They have a cynical view that includes expecting that if Trump won the election, he would soon be impeached. Trump would do the heavy lifting and his V-P get promoted to president.

9. Now there's a twist I hadn't thought of.

My mind is spinning, as you might imagine. It's like McCain/Palin in reverse.

[LiberalAndProud]

10. You speak with different Republicans than I do.

Trump won't be in the race long enough to pick a VP. I'm certain of it.

"He's the sort of guy who would push the button in a rage."

Not going to happen.
