I tend to lean toward that being the most entertaining possibility, other than the "best of both worlds" scenario of him getting overturned at a contested convention and then deciding to run as a third-party candidate. In that scenario, we get to see the epic meltdowns (of both him and his supporters) that result from the former, AND we get to witness the months-long spectacle of him railing against both Crooked Hillary *and* Lyin' Ted that come from the latter.  |
I find myself pulling for Trump for the same reason, pure entertainment. I can accept Hilary as president, I will likely vote for Gary Johnson and maybe he will reach some number that actually puts the Libertarians into play for debate time, and Trump would be so fun to watch. The problem for both of us is what if Trump somehow wins? Way too scary to think about. I know Cruz would lose a general election, not sure about Trump.
