Just a reminder that, during the town hall debate, both parties will be able to get up, move around and interact with each other and the questioners in a bodily, physical way.

Cruz backstabbing Trump at the convention just so he could sell out to Trump right before the Trump campaign died is just so dumb. I love it.

All they can do is try to make him drop out

Even then they can't actually remove his name from the ballot. They can gather all the electors up to publicly announce they will vote Pence in the electoral college and/or promise that Trump will resign after inauguration, but on election day when the voters go into the booth the ballot is still going to have Trump's name on it.

Thats too confusing. They can't pull it off even if Trump and the electors all cooperated.

Yeah this is where Hillary was going to kill Trump even before the series of linguistic kill-shots from the last 48 hours. Bill owned the town hall in '92 through body language and empathy, presenting such a dramatic contrast to the stiff and stuffy H.W. Bush

I don't think Trump dropping out is that out of the question. It's about the last thing that he can do on his terms. The focus would definitely be the emotional distress thats been caused to him and his family, he will blame Hillary for being a mean attack slinging political insider, he'll blame the republican establishment for failing him, he'll establish a new enemies list. And finally declare himself the winner anyways but too above it all to continue the torment.

They're gonna try to force him out but dumping him all at once. Gonna get real ugly if he clings on.

They're confused about it because on some level, they assume that Donald Trump cares about the republican party. If Trump was presented with a button that, when pressed, gave the democrats supermajorities in the house and the senate for ten generations and filled every SCOTUS vacancy with a 23 year old black trans lesbian but made him president for a single term, he would be hammering it as hard as he could.

Bolded is not necessarily even legal. Many states have laws on the books binding electors to vote for the name that appeared on the ballot. Not all, certainly, but enough that any defectors to vote Pence for president would be unable to gain a majority, period.

it's great that Trump is falling apart but he's already caused irreparable harm in many ways and is bringing down common american people with him.

Donald Trump is going to go beet red and get in Hillary's face, screaming at her, while making that weird thumb/index finger circle wavy motion with his right hand at which point Anderson Cooper is going to have to ask him to back down.

Alternative: Donald Trump will shove Hillary Clinton and be tackled by her secret service unit which well then get into fisticuffs with trumps secret service unit.

Its going to be a while before its actually tested, but those laws to compel electors to vote a certain way are very likely unconstitutional.
