I still don't understand why you're leaving the almighty Atlas if Trump wins the nod?
It was an ill-advised point I was trying to illustrate in January that Trump had no chance at the nomination. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in the bed I made for myself.
Then don't leave. I really never saw the point in your pledge, but you said it was ill-advised, so just shelve the idea and move on. I certainly wouldn't fault you for not wanting to stick by a silly thing like this 
I said, off the cuff, that I would baste myself in grease, strip down naked and go jogging along I-95 if Trump wins in November, but I certainly have no intention of doing that 
Exactly. Hyperbole is a perfectly acceptable figure of speech, as long as it is not carried to excess. Your January pledge was hyperbole, and can be treated as no more than that.
