Word is on the street that many primary voters in the various states are having buyer's regret as the one-trick Donald can't seem to stop himself and looming dates are coming where it's starting to "get real"....
You know..it's like proposing marriage to that pretty, wild, witty drunk girl you met at the bar...and as the date of marriage looms ever closer and she's still hittin' the bar every night even though you're begging her to stop, you realize "oh, I may want to raise kids with my wife..."... Cold feet. You, know..
Outrageous statements after outrageous statements sound funnier at the bar than they do at the altar, or in front of the kids at the dinner table. Plus, a candidate certain to lose but on the off chance he wins, would be facing certain impeachment within the first year in Office...from cooperation from both sides of the aisle...those things have to be taken into account..
Bound delegates would be forced to not notice the winds of regret in their states. Freed delegates would be just that: free to correct the "buyer's remorse" they've noticed in their voters before it's too late. Like that three day car buying rule where you take out what you thought was a hot rod to really see how the rubber meets the road, only to find under real pressure it throws a rod through the block on day 2.
Signs have been shifting, indicating "buyer's regret"...

Stephanie Cegielski:
An Open Letter to Trump Voters from His Top Strategist-Turned-Defector
http://www.xojane.com/issues/stephanie-cegielski-donald-trump-campaign-defector
I am now taking full responsibility for helping create this monster — and reaching out directly to those voters who, like me, wanted Trump to be the real deal.
My support for Trump began probably like yours did. Similar to so many other Americans, I was tired of the rhetoric in Washington. Negativity and stubbornness were at an all-time high, and the presidential prospects didn't look promising.
In 2015, I fell in love with the idea of the protest candidate who was not bought by corporations. A man who sat in a Manhattan high-rise he had built, making waves as a straight talker with a business background, full of successes and failures, who wanted America to return to greatness.
I was sold.
Last summer, I signed on as the Communications Director of the Make America Great Again Super PAC....
...
It wasn't long before every day I awoke to a buzzing phone and a shaking head because Trump had said something politically incorrect the night before. I have been around politics long enough to know that the other side will pounce on any and every opportunity to smear a candidate.
But something surprising and absolutely unexpected happened. Every other candidate misestimated the anger and outrage of the “silent majority” of Americans who are not a part of the liberal elite. So with each statement came a jump in the polls. Just when I thought we were finished, The Donald gained more popularity.
I don't think even Trump thought he would get this far. And I don’t even know that he wanted to, which is perhaps the scariest prospect of all.
He certainly was never prepared or equipped to go all the way to the White House, but his ego has now taken over the driver's seat, and nothing else matters. The Donald does not fail. The Donald does not have any weakness. The Donald is his own biggest enemy.
