Opinion: There’s nothing any political consultant, pollster or adviser can tell Trump about his dire political condition that he hasn’t heard, and dismissed, before

No, Trump Isn’t Going to Drop Out

Good luck convincing Trump he’s going to lose after he survived the “Access Hollywood” tape that had GOP officeholders deserting him in droves and after he prevailed on an election night when many people closest to him and most invested in his victory thought he was sure to go down to defeat. With this rationalization in his back pocket, there’s no reason for Trump to forgo any chance whatever of remaining the most talked-about man on the planet for the next four years by dropping out based on early summer polling.

One of the points of this exercise would be to repudiate Trump, but how could the party plausibly do that after loyally and enthusiastically backing him for four years? Who would be a turn-the-page candidate? The natural successor would be Vice President Mike Pence, but he’s obviously more associated with Trump than any other figure in the party besides the president’s direct relatives.

At a time of great populist passion in the GOP, deciding on a presidential candidate without the direct say of any voters would be fraught with peril, to say the least—and more likely to produce a civil war than comity.

U Can’t tell a man who KNOWS it All, anything. He’s a moron with an INTELLECTUAL mind of a child. The most descriptive word he knows is “FABULOUS”& uses it 4 good or bad. Can someone teach him some synonyms 4 his go to word He sounds like a teamster from the past, not a potus.

Trump doesn't really need to listen to DC insiders. DC insiders and weak minded politicians are the reason for the nonstop destruction we're seeing around the country.

Authoritarian? 5 men in US federal prison scheduled to be executed this summer...boom, boom, boom. More than one has had a legitimate appeal denied; and relatives of one don't want the execution. Ever cruel, Trump & Barr pushed for SCOTUS decision. They must be ecstatic.

Too stupid to quit.

Drop out? I'm hoping he'll drop dead!

Sadly, I believe this too be true. Although we should not have to go through an election in November. Trump should be removed from office ASAP before he does any more damage.

He cant drop out, and must stay in power to avoid prison.

It is time for you realDonaldTrump to go. Enough of this foolishness and clown show. You are not competent to be president. Nixon realized that he was done, and he was told by his party that it was time to leave. Your moment has come. Just quit. yougottago now!

Dismiss him at your peril 😂 some ppl never learn 😂

Always screaming and yelling annoying asshole.

100 days to vote him out! Please we all must vote!🗽🇺🇸

LOL. Based on Lowry's track record, that probably means Donny will drop out next week.

Because he has NO IDEA what's coming..he's gonna resign.

I hope Trump is humiliated in November.

Well.... CAUSE it was all lies. See 2016 election results for further reference.

The Traitor is old, out of shape, has a fast food diet and obviously in bad health-so he’s more likely to drop from those things than he is to drop out of race.

It’s a hoax!

He thinks he keeps his campaign money.

Defund politico

he thinks it's a hoax

It will be a treat to see him dragged out.

If he can survive the “Access Hollywood” tape, he can survive anything. He will win November 3, 2020. Vote Democrats out!

trump is toast....now Democrats must pivot and focus on the Democratic Party. Aggressively promote America to vote for EVERY Democrat on the Ballot. Its a shallow victory with only Biden Winning. Without Democrats controlling Congress little can be accomplished!

What’s on his chin?

Trump Blames Losing Campaign on Listening to ‘Woke Jared’Trump decides to ignore his son-in-law and focus on voters who fear he isn’t racist enough. When he wins in November it won't be because you called half the country racist 1 time too few. Good sink your own ship If Jared is considered the “woke” one of that shitshow, then I can only imagine how awful the rest of them must be. I mean, Brad Parscale does clearly look like a Proud Boy with a suit off of a discount rack.
