If he has those necessary delegates, and gets nominated, he will smear Hillary or Bernie or anyone is the Democratic candidate, giving us the most undeserving President in history. If he doesn't (and I feel he won't) he will fall apart by the third ballot, with most of the delegates deserting him (they are obliged to do it for one or two ballots, but he will probably find most of the delegates who were chosen don't like him - so they'll dump him). He can then scream he was cheated, and bolt the party (a threat he has blown up and down about when it suits his ego - I'm surprised he's not called "Donald the Extortionist"), and run on a third party, guaranteeing that the Democrats come in and probably recapture both houses (only this time they will be less friendly after six years of humiliations by the Republicans). After that his political power will wither because the regular Republicans will refuse to ever back him on anything, and the rump of "Tax Partyists" will gradually wonder what they hooked up to.
