Right now, he can dream a little about that, but if he sticks around into February and sees single-digit results, he'll stop dreaming and go away.

I think being the straw that broke the GOP apart -- in order for something better to emerge from the ruins -- might have some appeal. Think of it as "demolition before bigger & better reconstruction". If he left the field today & announced as a third and chose a running mate well he might just beat anyone the GOP offered in November.
