With stories about Trump's campaign staff imploding I'm suddenly getting scared Pence will get moved to the top of the ticket and win.

They're going to take Obama's advice and it'll be his fault. Thanks Obama

So what's the protocol for if Trump actually flames out and Pence says "gently caress you, I won't do it," before Manafort can even turn his head to ask him the question?

Pence is a terrible, terrible candidate so I wouldn't be worried.
Apparently the man is not very bright, and he certainly isn't very charismatic.

Trump supporters would not vote for Pence, unless they are just always going to pull the lever for R. He's quite unpopular in Indiana with the demographics that Trump is riding. Just think of Pence as Santorum and imagine how well he would do in this position.

They're governed by the National Firearms Act of 1934, the same law that handles stuff like fully automatic rifles and sawed-off shotguns.

Why wouldn't Pence do it.

He's already sold out whatever principles and credibility he's had by being Trump's VP after calling Trump's Muslim ban unconstitutional just a few months before, just for the off chance he might get close to that chair in the universe where Trump somehow wins the election.

He has no future anyway now, might as well accept the presidential nom if offered, the chance of Hillary Clinton dropping dead from a stroke on November 11 and throwing the electoral college into disarray isn't much greater than zero but it's still orders of magnitude more likely than his career ever recovering enough from a Trump meltdown to get him that close to the presidency again.

RNC rules provide for replacing the candidate if there is a vacancy, he doesn't accept, or he dies. The former two no longer apply. There is no formal provision for actually removing/revoking a candidate's nomination, because that would require someone to be completely batshit insane to require that after the scrutiny of the primaries and the nomination convention.

The unofficial provision is someone sits down Fat Reek and tries to get him to remember his name, and repeat his performance against Rubio. For the good of the Party

Yep. They're also not nearly as effective as Hollywood shows them to be. Mostly they turn eardrum-injuring noises into eardrum-irritating noises.

He can't run for Governor and VP at the same time. Congrats, you already got rid of him.

Trump will not let Pence take the top of the ticket, all this fantasy talk of Trump getting replaced has to involve a scenario like Trump dropping dead for it to happen.

Probably not a silencer, but a barrel extension to put it at a mandated 16 or 18 inch length to qualify as a rifle and be sold legally over the counter. Also probably is a semi auto only uzi model too.

I've heard a silencer before, the trick is sub sonic ammo. That's when the noise level drops drastically. With regular ammo it sounds like a hammer getting a good hit against a piece of metal.

Cold loads lower the muzzle velocity to sub-sonic speeds. Obv that would significantly affect the bullet, but it'd be drat quiet with a silencer added. I think the only purpose of using cold loads is actual ninja-style murder and black ops stuff.

Well also, hot loads through your silencer will wear it out more quickly--and they wear out quickly enough as it is.

Edit: and before somebody makes a crack about hot loads through your pipe I'll mention that the opposite of a silencer is a thing that makes your gun longer and louder (and more accurate) and that thing's called a compensator. If you have a better joke than that, by all means go ahead.

That's a good enough question to nearly warrant its own thread. I was driving through Indy last weekend, specifically the Fishers/Carmel/Meridian Street area where it's all crazy expensive houses and the number of "FIRE MIKE PENCE" yard signs was significant. His education crackdown in the state bought him a lot of enemies, the Religious Freedom law was just icing on a giant poo poo cake.

He has a reasonable challenger this year, but this state has a gift for electing idiots, so I'm not holding my breath on a Democratic Governor.
