Plenty.

Brokered convention, assassination, or a spectacular Trump implosion are all possible. Unless he finds a way to make a bridge to at least some party insiders, I think a brokered convention is the most likely outcome at this point. Trump isn't nearly as popular as he's presented, with a minority but dedicated base of voters which he needs to grow rapidly to avoid a brokered convention.

Assassination or other kind of sudden death is always theoretically possible, which could mean Clinton may not be a Democratic nominee as well... if you are into very unlikely predictions.

Implosion? Seriously, if Trump haven't imploded until now, I can't see this happening.

My hopes for this board are kaput.  Kal's got good common sense going here at least.

He'll be the nominee and frankly, he very well could be our next president. He hasn't even started on Hillary yet.

Massive doubt.  It's still under 50-50.

I can see a brokered convention, though I do think Trump will win a plurality of delegates.

Exactly, but I'm not ruling anything out. It's going to be a nasty election

Trump, by most reasonable delegate calculations, will end up just shy of the magic number at his current rate of delegate accumulation.

He'll be the nominee by hook or by crook as they say, and I'm about 60% sure he'll be our next president.  It's only because of the Supreme Court that I prefer him over Hillary.  Otherwise I couldn't care less.

Voted "nuttier job" since I think any Republican still has a shot at the nomination, and I think while he is the likeliest individual, the chances of trump being the nominee are smaller than the chances of him ending the campaign rejected in Cleveland.

I don't like the options. It's clear neither Cruz nor Kasich can beat him in delegates (lol). I do think there is still a non-negligible chance at a brokered convention producing another nominee given how impopular Trump is within the party. I obviously think the probability of him being nominated is much higher though.

Yes. He's going to have the most delegates, but it's still very possible the Republicans could steal the nomination from him.

I have no doubt he'll have a plurality of the delegates. The RNC could still steal it from him at the convention though.

I doubt they will.  Reince has said multiple times that the RNC will get behind the nominee regardless of who it is.  Apparently, he wasn't at all happy with Mittens doing what he did in Salt Lake City.

Yeah, but without >50% of delegates trump doesn't fit that description. Also, Reince Priebus isn't a figure anyone has any loyalty to; he can encourage the establishment delegates to back trump and they'll disregard him.
