Huntsman is a sane Republican.

He knew full well what Trump was about.

them.

All of it should be troubling

It's not as if he genuinely cares that Trump is abhorrent, he is just starting to hear the giant sucking sound of all the downballot candidates swirling the drain with Trump.

for endorsing tRump. Even before he endorsed him last week, tRump has proven to be racist and sexist.

Pense would be elected President.

if he's out. Do you have a link or have knowledge based on fact that show Pense would automatically be at the top of the ticket?

good point rumdude,

i was convinced around 2012 this guy would be the next rethug nominee - not insane, non-tea moderate, media savvy kids ... but he had sense enough to read the public angst and not stand with the 17-or-so other losers ... but being a party-loyalist (royalist) and backing drumpf, while diminishing him in my view, may boost his chances to repair and even lead the party that has said "no" to the electorate for both of obama's terms back from the ashes.

but i could be wrong ... again!

Who gave Huntsman the right to choose Pence? The reason the repugs are so divided is because their electorate couldn't decide on a leader. Who believes Pence would have been chosen? Just because he speaks in a quiet voice doesn't mean he is sane. Look at his record.

he's probably angling to be the new VP. Fuck 'im.

way to run another candidate is through a write-in campaign. I am not even sure if all states count write-in ballots for President

It's almost Halloween too. *shimmer*

If Donald J tRump quits, and enough votes are recorded in the right places for the "Republican", then the electoral College voters can vote Pence in.

I'm sure there are all kinds of factors and contingencies that would tie the country up into knots and would lead to elimination of the Electoral College, if it came to that. It can make interesting reading sometimes when there is informed speculation about these factors.

But we don't need Pence and we don't need the Republicans.

They grew the deplorables who bought tRump hook line and sinker. The Republican Party owns him.

But we know that.

And all his batshit crazy delegates would have to change their votes. They can not be removed

And Trump cannot be fired. He would have to agree to it and they publically encourage the voters to vote for the alternate under his name.

The republican base would explode. And even better, transfer all their hatred onto the republican party rather the Democratic Party.

It would be like if 40% of the Democrats had joined and supported the Jack Pine Asshole group.


There is no good ending for the republicans in this election.

There are other possible permutations. See...

(the relevant parts are toward the end of the article)

In the highly unlikely event that Trump quit campaigning, the GOP could ask people to vote his name anyway, and then choose electors who would vote for Pence.

Wouldn't be successful, though.

It must always be shouted from the mountain tops.

Only Cruz and Kasich held back

You can't pull a nominee 32 days before the election

You could announce it, but ballots are fixed in most if not all states

What is Cruz up to?

Kasich, yes. Kasich has maintained the status of sane human being.

Yes, ballots are fixed in most states. But how many and which ones? Could a write-in push for Palin, ahem - excuse me, Pence be in play?

Silent Acquiescence. Love it. Forgot about those weasels perched on the fence.

It's camp!!

Cheers.

We can't have that

Hey, pukes-- are we having fun yet??

Early voting is already going on in some states.

But, Donald, please stay in.

Thank you.

they should be stuck with him.

This disastrous affront from trump has been going on for years now!!
