No, and I don't think Trump is even likely to last until the convention, but in the odd circumstance he does, he'll just be an annoyance. He has never been able to cobble together a majority of support and too many republicans don't like him for him to do so.

It's not the establishment conspiring, it's that delegates pledged to candidates who drop out of the race will not vote for him.Originally posted by NICE MOBIUS View PostComment

Oh yes, your country's funny ideas of democracy.
Well, if that happens and it's seen as though he was robbed, he'll stand anyway.
Basically you have to hope that he and Carson somehow burn themselves out, but that so far doesn't look like happening and Trump has the clout to go it alone.
I'm not sure which scenario I actually prefer. Most of them are bad for the Republicans.Comment

Republicans have a chance in 2016 because they are called Republicans.

Vote Democrat
It really is a total no-brainer, unless you're actually in the top few % of earners in the country. Even then you would have to be pretty heartless to vote to continue enriching yourself at the expense of the rest of the country.
Do the NICE thing next year. Vote Democrat. Yes, even if it's Clinton, it's most likely going to be better for you.

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson told graduates during a commencement address in the late ’90s that he believed the pyramids in Egypt were built by the biblical figure Joseph to store grain, and not, as most archeologists contend, as tombs for pharaohs.
Apparently Carson played Civ2.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

Interesting story on Trump's appeal and the false choices granted to the US electorate. It's a couple months old, but a decent read. [Full disclosure: I'm a longtime fan of Matt Taibbi.]

Carson is now leading.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Only poor people ever get embarrassed.
It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple
