Could it be time for the dems to shift their strategy and lighten up on Trump, at least in the near term?  If Trump is pressed too hard, rumor turns into reality, and Trump does drop out, what next?  Chances are Ryan would be the republican nominee.  If so Clinton would probably lose for sure.

The only problem is that the next episode of Donald Trump's Great Adventure will no doubt prove to be so outrageous that nobody will be able to resist tuning in for laughs and gasps. Face it, comedy is king this election.

However, how about millions of disgruntled Trump & Cruz supporters sitting out the election ? Ryan didn't run in the primaries, is he now entitled to be "anointed" ?

Clinton, like Trump is her own worst enemy. The less of her we see, and the more of Obama, Bill Clinton, et al campaigning for her the better her chances are.

Well, nothing is a "sure" thing, but hey.

Why would the "millions who worship Trump" not feel totally betrayed by him if he's a big enough pussy to drop out, then vote for Ryan as a better alternative to Clinton?
I hope he stays in the race, which seems like a sure way for Clinton to win
