More and more Repubs are getting fed up with this loose cannon. At some point they will abandon him for someone they can control, like Pence. He's already given them a pro-life judge, rolled back environmental protections, and lowered taxes for the rich. There's not much more he can deliver, so his usefulness might be waning.

The only thing holding many of them back now is their fear of being primaried.

If they're actually willing to put up a good candidate, especially one that would on the surface carry the anti-establishment message, Trump could be primaried himself

I think there are many of his supporters who would support him even if he got absolutely nothing done. They are just stupid people who enjoy the vulgarity of his show. Kind of like the Jerry Springer crowd.

another week of a significant market decline I think he'll lose support quickly
