Came across this article with the following title:
ABC News Stuns America & Announces That Trump Might DROP OUT Of 2016 Race
I was, undoubtedly, curious.
I tried to follow the sources back to the original ABC News article, but I was only lead around to many different, almost identical, news articles and then to the front page of a random news website. After a quick internet search I found the article here with the following title:
Senior GOP Officials Exploring Options if Trump Drops Out
Just going off the title, it didn't sound anything like what previous articles such as this one and this one were going on about. After reading the short article it turns out all ABC News was talking about was that there were senior GOP officials that were so frustrated with Trump's behavior that they were thinking about what they would do if Donald Trump did actually drop out of the race. They DID NOT insinuate that Trump was planning on or "might" drop out of the race. No source, spokesperson, homeless guy, or news agency was eluding to a Trump drop out, it was just an article about GOP officials considering what would happen if he did.
This kind of idiotic reporting really bothers me. Stop trying to manufacture drama where there is none.
TL;DR: The original ABC article here was talking about GOP officials considering what would happen if Trump actually dropped out because they were frustrated by his erratic behavior. The article was NOT saying that Trump was considering or "might" drop out of the race.

Yesssss! My long-winded rant won out in the end!
What do you like so much about the guy?

He was the only Senator who voted against the Patriot Act!! That alone is enough.
He also voted against merging the media and merging the banks -- against huge majorities that supported it. These come to mind immediately.

Sounds like a solid politician to me. Got my vote.
When does the election take place?
