Donald Trump may drop out of the 2020 presidential race if he believes he has no chance of winning, a Republican Party operative reportedly told Fox News.
Part of me wants to believe this, that he’d rather go out on his own terms and not actually lose. But another part of me remembers he was trailing in the polls in 2016 and polls don’t matter when you’re rigging an election so there’s no way he’ll drop out if he knows stuff is going on behind the scenes to help him win.

I've thought for a while that he won't be top of the ticket in November. If the polls are bad enough in key areas, I think he'll drop out. Losing badly would be a huge ego blow.

If his pea-sized brain and ego did bail out because he's just too amazing for our country to appreciate, who do you think they could/would put on the ticket?

Pence with Nikki Haley as VP. She's been lobbying pretty hard. I really think Trump will quit or not run for re-election if it is obvious that he can't win even while cheating. He is such a narcissist and can't deal with defeat or embarassment. I really hope that if he quits, he won't get pardoned by Pence.

My prediction is that Trump will announce Nikki Haley as his VP either right before or right after Biden announces his VP selection. I don’t see Trump backing down. I hope I am wrong.
I don't know. I don't think he thought he would win last time, but he didn't drop out. I don't see it happening this time either. Or, do you think that he did think he was going to win in 2016?
I guess that losing as an incumbent is worse, but I still don't think he'd give up. If we could only be so lucky!
If he's still down 14%+ in August, Trump is going to lock Pence and Nikki Haley in a room and tell them the first to promise him a pardon gets to be VP. Then he'll resign in October, pick up his pardon, and make a run for it before SDNY can arrest him. That's my prediction.

I don’t see him dropping out but he is that unpredictable and that spontaneous and demented so whatever.
But if I go down the rabbit hole of him exiting, does that send the R’s, his shithead supporters, and the replacement candidate into a disorganized flurry?

I disagree.
He will run and he will win if we don’t take him seriously.
I said this in 2016 and I’m saying it again in 2020.

No, he’ll keep Pence. Pence appeals to his base. Nikki Haley won’t.

I agree with this. Trump appeals to his cult; Pence appeals to traditional Republicans.

No, but seriously.
Don’t trust the polls. Don’t buy any of the articles that say he’s thinking of resigning. He’s not going anywhere until we kick him out and if we aren’t careful, he will win. He will. We have to pull out every stop, We have to fight because lives truly do depend on it.
I don’t think he’ll bail before. Even if Biden is clearly ahead, he’ll take the to the courts claiming fraud. Then hopefully the courts rule against him and he’ll then leave saying the election was rigged. Something along those lines. I honestly don’t think he’ll leave.

He is WAY more likely to try to stay in power illegally than he is to resign. We need to actively be thinking about what to do if he refuses to leave, not what might happen if he steps aside.
I’m super fired up about this. These news articles popping up about him resigning make me hella nervous and they should make you nervous too. This is part of the plan to steal the election and I am not tinfoil hatting here.
I feel.like this is a story, especially coming from Fox News, that is meant to make the Dems sit back and stop working for the win. Dangerous thinking.
