Reply #48: I think we know why Trump dropped out when he did...

[jenmito]

the NBC lineup for next season was announced and they were getting inquiries about whether or not the show would be renewed with Trump still in it. They probably MADE him announce that he would return the next season, therefore NOT being able to wait 'til his season finale (which he said was when he'd announce the date of his announcement whether or not he'd run). Even if his poll numbers had been near the top, bin Laden hadn't been killed, Obama hadn't released his BC, etc., he knew he wouldn't be able to keep up his lies and WOULD drop in the polls. He would've had to reveal his financial info., would've been asked what the findings of his "investigators" were, etc. So he couldn't keep the fake campaign going thanks to NBC.

Regarding Palin, OK. I'll go along with your conditions. That's how sure I am of myself. MY theory is that even if she is in the top 2 or 3, she'll claim that she thinks someone else in the race (with better approval ratings) should run.
