Will Trump stay in the race through Nov 8? (Scale of 1-10)

1 is I'm sure he stays till the end
5 is it could go either way
10 is I'm sure he's dropping out before the end

After the DNC and his manic tweeting, I'm leaning to an 8 on the scale. I think his kids might pull the "Sorry, dad's lost his mind and we're taking him to rehab for exhaustion" and pull his obviously crazy ass out of the race.

I'm not making a selection.

He's like - a really really angry person. There's no way he lives through the first debate.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

He will be screeching and wailing about how it was stolen and rigged until they throw the last shovel full of Trump Dirt on his Trump Casket.

I suggest we (starting now) turn up the squelch on Il Trumppence Fuhrer. *sigh* If only the media would, too.

I bet he'll refuse to concede and his followers will think if he doesn't that he'll just be handed the office by Congress.

I am so confused by him because I have never seen a presendential candidate act like him in my lifetime. I think he will because it's about his ego, and if he loses, I don't see him conceding.

he leaves the race if he dies, maybe if he's medically incapacitated (severe stroke, e.g).

in short, he's not leaving the race for any reason hillary wouldn't also leave.

I'm pretty sure that sarcasm is not a defense in espionage cases. Soon, someone is going to sit his ass down and point out that if he stays in, his collusion with the Russians will be fully examined, Congress will be pressured to declare him unqualified even if he wins, and if he drops out now, the public interest is served and life in prison no longer has to be on the table.

No case needs to be made about the good of his Party or the nation, because he doesn't care about that. It only has to be about him, about how he crash-landed straight in the middle of the same statutes he's been tossing at Hillary Clinton, and about how he did that so much bigger and better than she that he's down to two choices: stay in and be humiliated and possibly jailed, or get out and survive to be obnoxious another day.

He'll take the deal, probably within the next two weeks if he takes it at all. Likeliest day is a Friday, which it happens to be.
