Look at the boards...

those Russians are tricky little devils...

drumpf is focused on buying that (defective) Deripaska steel for a wall, like he promised PUtin. He's also pulled out of the INF Treaty. IF he continues producing for PUtin, PUtin will move heaven and earth to ensure he steals the office again. The only way he isn't the candidate is if -

Mueller gets him and has so video or audio of him being a traitor so that even repugs are repulsed and ditch him & Barrs huge efforts at obstruction of the information fail
He makes a deal for Pence to be president and pardon him and his family

Right now I'd say we're at best 50/50, probably more like 40/60 that either of these will happen since most of msm is also run by oligarchs and judiciary, especially SCOTUS, has been stolen by orange assmouth racist oligarchs.

But the best move right now is to broom him. There are caveats though.
