Considering how cash poor Trump is, there's suggestions he could easily be bought off to drop out, and even he said he'd have to consider it. If the 20 biggest donors in the GOP each chipped in say $5 million each, I think Trump would very seriously consider taking the money. If you get to say 20 donors at $10 million each he's a guarantee to drop out then. And what's $10 million to guys worth high 9 or 10 figures? I'm sure they'd do it if Trump were guaranteed to leave.
From the donors perspective, they're likely to burn through that money on a losing Trump campaign no mattter what. So why not roll the dice you can bribe him to leave? If nothing else it severely limits the potential down ticket bloodbath. Plus Hillary is still very unpopular. Buy Trump off, put Rubio or Kasich in instead and they have a chance to win the White House. Swapping Trump for Ted Cruz is actually a downgrade on winning the Presidency but he probably helps downticket more than the other two.
