20. Too many hard-core Trump supporters will never vote for anyone but him.

Trump is a former strip club owner, thrice married and a braggart about his sexual exploits who never before his presidential run made references to his religious views. Yet, evangelicals abandoned a hardcore religious conservative like Ted Cruz for him. He's practically a messiah to white supremacists, the KKK and racist wing of the Republican party. That subset will be infuriated if Trump is ousted. They're not that small a group either. They'll see any replacement of Trump as the government stripping them of their right to elect their own leader. Large swaths of them will refuse to vote #NobodyButTrump.
