Everyone on this site should be encouraging Trump to stay in the race.

Whether by email or on Twitter, we need to convince him that he shouldn't drop out.

If Trump stays in the race, he will go down in flames and bring the rest of the GOP with him.

A bunch of tweets and emails encouraging him to fight on will inflate his ego so he'll stay in.

We want Trump to stay in. Pressure is mounting for him to get out.

But if he gets lots of people emailing or tweeting him to stay in it will feed his ego. Then the can say, 'the establishment wanted me out but millions of the people want me to stay in'.

But I'm only one person. We need everyone to do so. It's not like he is going to do a security check on people to see if they are really supporters or not.

and they'll look all look like the biggest losers in the universe. Nobody likes (or wants to vote for) losers. Brand destruction at it's finest.

All depends on who the GOP picks to replace him.

The best bet for a victory in a month is that Trump stays in.

Even after Hillary wins in a landslide, he will say it was totally rigged.

IF you feed the trolls, you may think you have control over them, but they will do as they wish despite your wishes. Which is why they say, never feed the trolls.
