I'm gonna RENOVATE your ass!

The Republicans turning against Trump will be an unmitigated disaster this year, but I fear it'll be good for the Republican Party in the long run. If they turn against him now, it's going to be harder for the Democrats to hold Trump against all Republicans in the years to come, which I think would have been an effective strategy. Republicans will get away with "oh, Trump was a fluke, we're not like that now" and "that was four years ago, I'm interested in the issues of today."

Maybe, but then this loss isn't the fault the liberals stealing the election, its the republican party abandoning it's one true leader. The base would implode. They literally need to choose which hill to die on, but they're definitely gonna die.

Sticking to him now would doom them forever though. They don't really have an out.

I guess my issue with that is I don't think bailing 30 days before Election Day is going to make a significant difference than just waiting til after the election.

I mean despite all of this Trump could still win! Things can happen. None of this changes the fact that people still hate Hilary Clinton. If I were in the GOP and I had ridden the Trump train this long I'd go for the Hail Mary and finish it out

Not really. Trump was the 'not a Jesus freak' and 'not a Ayn Rand freak' candidate that all selected to not stir up poo poo. And these are still two large groups within.
Once they Et tu Pence stab Trump and pretend no one really wanted him, they will still be the same sack of poo poo they were in 2015 blaming minorities and taxes.

Except supporting the guy after a video comes out with his voice on it literally talking about how he can sexually assault people because he's rich implicates that you're perfectly okay with such a thing.

Say all you want about how he was never qualified to be a nominee for President, let alone the President, but there's quite a gap between saying insulting things about people and talking gleefully about sexually violating them.

With the caveat that the Clinton camp didn't release this current bombshell, and so a journalist might just do it on their own.

I really don't think Trump abuses his daughter, I just think he genuinely loves her but doesn't know the appropriate way to express love for a woman (or man for that matter) as opposed to mere randiness, and it ends up super skeevy.

Just to double-check, if the GOP establishment does entirely disown Trump, they don't have any way of replacing him without him resigning himself?

So who is Trump going to pick as his new VP when Pence ditches him to become the new savior of the Republican establishment?

I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I still think it's bizarre that after everything that's happened so far that this is the watershed moment in this election.

I know for sure that talk radio on Tuesday is just going to be more of the same. Blaming the media and kicking the dead horses of Benghazi and email servers for the millionth time. I guess the GOPe just got tired of holding their nose?

Voting for Pence is a loving terrible idea for a Republican. Let's split our votes from one losing candidate to two losing candidates! :downs:

Trump's name will be on the top of the ticket in all 50 states even if he dies. It is too late to change the ballots. If he is no longer the nominee for whatever reason, a vote for Trump will be a vote for whoever the replacement nominee is.
