What's this?

Shoot, he's got a good chance of winning, and certainly a better one than

they do if they screw him out of the nomination and he uses that to justify a third party run. Or even if they turn to Cruz on the one hand or Romney on the other, even if Trump stays out.

Now you're third option is the real risk--not that he goes down in flames, but that the wins and ends up supporting some liberal/populist agendas that are anathema to the GOP.
