A month ago, I would have said 100% chance, absolutely. Today, I will go with 75% chance. The things that seems to be scaring the republicans the most is trump's lack of money, lack of fundraising for the party, and a campaign organization that is two guys in a garage with a Commodore 64. If they feel his incompetence in fundraising and organizing is dragging them down or even if more details about the extreme dysfunction are revealed then there may be a coup. You know every major player and person with influence in the GOP has a pros and cons list written up on keeping him and overthrowing him.
