Could lead to a brokered convention, or the contemporary equivalent.

Begs the question, why elect a puppet, controlled by a billionaire, when you can do it direct?

is in bullshit mode, so who knows what to believe.

One thing is obvious, though-- Trump is the biggest bullshitter out there.

They created the bully group of their far rightwing crazies and now don't know what to do with them. Trump is an authoritarian type of personality. He won't accept being questioned. His supporters like that. He wants to get rid of the ACA in exchange for something "terrific". Can you imagine him negotiating with Putin? The Russian leader would tell Trump to go eff himself. Non documented immigrants have to go? He will never win a general election.

But this will continue as long as there are 17 candidates. Things might change if 6-7 of them drop out. I also doubt that that Trump can build a GOTV operation.
