In 2012, the GOP-love jumped from candidate to candidate, until they settled on someone who wasn't really that great but who everybody could live with.

In 2016, they are stuck with an outrageous narcissist making unrealistic promises to GOP-voters who were goaded by the GOP-establishment into rejecting the Washington-establishment.

My bet:
The GOP-voters will wake up at the last minute and throw their support to a compromise-candidate who isn't really that great but who everybody could live with: Jeb or Rubio.
