If he can't win the nomination, then he will make sure that the nominee can't win the general. He is starting to sound more and more like a stalking horse for Hillary after all.
At this point, I think it would be better for the Republican Party just to kick him out of the running and launch a smear campaign linking Clinton and Trump together.
No matter what happens at this point, the Republican Party is going to be negatively impacted, in an election that should have been easily theirs. I still contend Trump is a Bill Clinton plant.
He'll withdrawal if the polls start to show he won't win the primary.

Still doesn't work. His base is more right wing than left wing and he'll just wind up spitting the GOP vote and letting the Democrat cruise to victory.
Can you imagine Bush vs Trump vs Hillary? Hillary wins.
I don't know what you think "right wing" is, but Trump has more support from disgusted liberals than from any conservatives. The disenfranchised from BOTH parties are lining up behind Trump, but the disenfranchised CONSERVATIVES are not going to vote for a Progressive with an R behind his name just because he has gotten under the skin of the establishment.

That's the thing. If he can't even pull 99% of his supporters, which are only 30% of a party that might on a good day have 45% of the electorate, even if you throw in indies and such, it still doesn't add up to a win.

Proof? Where does this information even come from??
Anti-Trump voters split their votes between Jeb and Hillary and Trump wins.
Bush is NOT going to be the nominee. And if, God-Forbid, that were to happen, Trump would be more Anti-Bush votes than Bush would get Anti-Trump votes.

Bernie voters are also talking sitting out the election or writing in their candidate, the two camps could very well cancel out.
