It does look like he's finally crashing and burning.

I agree that it looks like Trump is going down in flames and possibly dragging much of rest of the party with him, but I'm leery of over-confidence. The only people who can rival the GOP at fucking up the proverbial cup of coffee are the Democrats, and Hillary is no Bill or Barack.

I'm worried Trump will get arrested and the GOP will have Paul Ryan step in to take over the GOP nomination. That would seem to be a more plausible path to victory for them.

Don't give her any ideas, it might trigger her OCD regarding high poll negatives . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Even then.... the window for replacing him is quickly closing.

Quote:The bulk of the dates for certifying the names of major party presidential candidates are in August and September — 35 states in total. The GOP, then, would have until about mid-August to find a replacement nominee and still be able to get his or her name on the ballot in enough states to be competitive in November.
For example, if Trump dropped out in late August, his name would already be certified to appear as the Republican candidate for president in at least 18 states. If he dropped out in September, that number could rise to more than 30 states. The Republican Party would have few options available to it, at this point, to remove Trump’s name and replace it with their new nominee. They would likely have to look to the courts.


It is already August 12th and it is a weekend.  The 15th is Monday.

What if he croaked? Like what if they found him in a hotel room nose-down in a pile of cocaine with two dead hookers on him?

He'd better do it soon.

Quote:Citizens of Missouri have elected a dead man to the Senate, choosing Governor Mel Carnahan - who was killed three weeks ago in a plane crash - over Republican incumbent John Ashcroft. Carnahan's widow had agreed to take her husband's place.


Quote:The crash occurred too late to revise the ballot.

These deadlines do matter.

Actually, it is even worse now.  I read that in Ohio early voting by serving military begins in 50 days which means the ballots need to be printed and mailed well in advance of that.

That would be yuge! 

I have no doubt that when he loses he will say the election was rigged and that he will make more money by going back to his “empire”.

What would happen if Trump's name were left on the ballot and he got elected anyways? Couldn't the Repubs pump that option?

Wouldn't Pence get in? To me, that's worse than Trump.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
