If he won't quit, will the Repukes FIRE him?!1 Do we want him out before Election Day?!1 n/t

I say, let his humiliation and the Repukes' crushing defeat be total!1 Won't their substituting somebody give a push to the large numbers who always wanted somebody else?

A 30-days' campaign would validate my disgust with perpetual, two-YEARS of campaigning, but I'd rather win this one than be validated on this.

So short of him being arrested or dropping dead, they're stuck with him.

Trump must die, become disabled or decline to run in order for them the replace him. It Trump refuses to step down, there is nothing they can do.

They could be hoping that if enough GOPers unendorse him he'll quit voluntarily, but they can't un-nominate him.

You can't just decide the will of the people doesn't count this time. They voted for him, they're stuck with him. You break it, you bought it.
