The question is based on the theory that all other candidates should know by now that Americans are by and large pissed off about politics as usual. They want someone who is willing to step outside of the box in trying to solve problems in an effective manner, instead of catering to special interests as all Presidents end up doing. They'd like someone with the intestinal fortitude to tackle the tough issues with honest-to-goodness hard work and not empty promises. Trump may be crude... but that is the message he's carrying, and people have flocked to him. So if Trump were to lose (or get the nomination taken away from him).... would that make the survivor a better candidate? Yes? No? Why?
In theory yes, but in action it will be same old same old although it may effect Cruz. Rubio is signed, sealed and delivered.
Break it down if you would. Flip mode.
Say Trump gets whooped...that wouldn't make the candidate who won the comeback kid?
I could be missing something but for me
Narrow Trump loss means a splintered, fractured party.
Wide Trump loss means someone has galvanized the people.

Just so you know...I don't think Trump would lose by a wide margin.
