Paul Campos makes a case that Trump might simply walk away from the presidential race if his wholesale routing seems imminent. We are already seeing the GOP sidle away from Trump, as his bat shit press conferences and the exponential death rate become unavoidable.
It doesn't sound like Campos is suggesting that he will actually take the "Nixon Ride" on Marine One, but rather that he will denounce the race as rigged when he's down 15% in the polls in October. This would discourage the Trumpenproletariat from voting and likely trigger right wing militia violence both in the lead up to the election and after it. But it could also lead to a massive Democratic wave because Trump will be signalling to his supporters that it doesn't matter if they vote. Meanwhile, the lesson of 2016 will be seared into the minds of Democratic voters: Take Nothing For Granted.
