Prediction: Mid- and late-summer, after the conventions, the real numbers will come in and Trump will be confronted with the reality that he can never win the election--not only will he lose, but he will lose bad.
Trump will then find some Sarah Palin-type b.s. excuse to withdraw his name. His name will still appear on most state ballets but the vote will be only for his v.p. pick. Because this was all about his name, his brand, promoting "Trump"... he didn't think people would take him seriously. And Trump = Loser is unthinkable to him. Trump will make a statement, the GOP will scramble to salvage something out of the mess, but their brand will be tainted for a decade.
But we will all remember him as a loser. Possibly the biggest loser since Carter in 1980.
