What if Trump dropped out of the race on his own accord?

This is a what if question I know, but with the recent firing of his campaign manager and low poll numbers what if he dropped out on his own before the convention?

Not Holding My Breath for that One. My guess his Kids are advising him now to change course to really go all in and he needs to cut his ties with the Extreme Right Wing and start Portraying himself as a more Moderate Conservative which is what he will have to do to stand any chance at all with Americans at Large.

Then I would start believing my own Trump / Clinton conspiracy.

"What if Trump dropped out of the race on his own accord?"

Damn good question and I have thought about that if Trump sees his poll numbers are much lower than Hillary this fall; rather than suffer a defeat he may just toss in the towel and come up with some excuse i.e. his family changed their mind and wants him to dropout to spend more time with his businesses, or he has just learned from his doctors that he has a serious heart murmur and cannot stand too much pressure or stress which could lead to a heart attack.

That would honestly be hilarious considering all the other nominees dropped out already. But honestly, that'll be stupid on his part. I was hesitant on Trump because I didn't think he had a chance if running against Hillary, but lately, I think he might actually be able to stand a chance against her. He's a charismatic person. You don't have to like everything he says to be able to understand that he can command respect from a crowd.

What Happens to the Withdrawn Republican Candidates’ Delegates?

The main drama in the Republican presidential race turns on whether any candidate can secure the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the nomination.

Could go 2 ways. Either a more favorable nominee would take his place and then GOP would stand a chance or more likely it would be a yuuuuuge middle finger to the GOP and they'd scramble as quick as they could to save face and wind up being destroyed in november. Either way probably not happening. He hired am ACTUALLY campaign manager rather then keeping the B team on board. Sounds more like he's getting serious since he's been having some rough weeks.

There'd be a chance for another decent nominee not in a third party?

If Trump dropped out, perish the thought.

What if rabbits had machine guns
What if donuts came to life and started eating people
What if the cheese people of themoon incited a revolt...
I think these are more pressing questions than an absolutely ridiculous theory that trump would drop out of the race...
