    Over/under on turnout percentage? Guessing 60 percent.

    Love it. My reading comprehension questioned by the board's resident mental midget.

    I think there would be vastly different damage depending on whether Trump backed out vs. the party somehow got rid of him.

    Many of the Trump voters are likely to turn their backs on the party if Trump gets pushed out.. I wonder what the filing deadline is across the states? Could a replacement even get on the ballots at this point?

    That high? Turnout in 2008 was between 60 and 62 percent depending on your source.

    Well, now that you know to question your reading comprehension you can start working on it.

    I'll agree with that. I guess it will come down to how Trump backs out. If he implements scortched earth as he leaves and/or the thing reaks of the establishment forcing his hand, his supporters might revolt (figeratively). If he's magnanimous or cites health problems it will look better than a coup d'etat by the GOP.

    Not sure how it could affect his business dealings, but can't see it in any way being positive if he backed out. Don't think he can win, but also don't think he'll lose by more than Romney did. Can't think of how dropping out would help him in any way, and he pretty much is a guy who looks out for himself.

    At least with Ryan I'd think he's not some psycho and I'd be okay if he won, if Trump were to someone win Id be scared for the fate of our country, more so than ever in my 50+ yrs.

    No need to be frightened, Hillary will win. That should cheer you up.
