it happens

First, trump has to drop out

Second, the rnc has to then meet and determine his replacement

Third, since it is to late to change the ballots, they would need to organize a massive write-in campaign. Very difficult at this stage, or any stage for that matter

There are other games they could play, but nothing will happen unless trump steps down
