back their endorsements. That would get under his thin skin.

Because they can't get another name on the ballot in the different states.

in some states.

Who would be the nominee?
I don't want pence at the top of ticket!!!

They can't remove him at this point.

He will take the party down with him.

That's the one thing that might move him. But they'd have to give him a billion or two - in advance.
They'd put a condition on it that he'd have to allow it to be filmed, so it was showing he stepped down of his own accord.

Because that's the only way he can be replaced - if he voluntarily steps down. Or dies or otherwise incapacitated.

Outside of money - they've got nothing on him that would make him drop out - he's shameless and beyond embarrassment, and won't run again after this anyway.

If that happens - they'll try and get Pence to be the lamb - because even if they replace Trump, it's really too late to mobilize all of their people behind Pence. Many Trumpettes will not fall in line, and they don't have enough backers now. Won't be Ryan. Won't be Jeb. Both of them know better, at this point. And I think Pence would be the good soldier, especially if they put the bug in his ear that he could beat Hillary - that would be too tempting for him to pass up, I think.

As for where to get the $2 billion? A few phone calls to the Kochs, Adelsons, et al, and it would be there, waiting.
The sweet irony would be if they were able to somehow stiff him out of it afterward.

it shows they've figured out the loophole. Run someone in the primary who self-destructs then choose someone with a chance in the general. Ryan, Romney, Pence.

their sexist, racist xenophobe of choice away from them

As if!

That's not what was said.

You're obviously alive. House still standing???

Glad you made it through.

I was going to respond but I'm overwhelmed with news. I am fine, I have a house, no damage to speak of. I feel so damned grateful. I could be homeless except for a few dozen miles. I dodged this!

My heart!

Chill and catch up on the news. The Orange One has knocked the hurricane out of the headlines.

why you watch politics. It's a shit show over here right now; never a dull moment.

Love you, and you're right, I'm feeling grateful all night! xo

furious at Trump and have only a month to figure out what to do.

Is that a dirty shame or what?

I wish I was a captivating and well-published writer, because this year will be written about. Endlessly.

It has scared the crap outa me, but see how a day and a hurricane cheer you up?

on Monday, I was thinking that 10th grade homeroom just got a lot more lively than it usually is. The kids will be yacking about how to say what they are not allowed to say in school but which Trump said out loud (and now on tape!).

More to the sad side of this story, how old is Trump's youngest child? He likely has to go into school Monday morning after the world has now heard his father speaking lewdly about women.

but hop online, as we do, he'll read it. Sad.

People have already voted in some states. This is what they chose, this is what they have. Shame on all of them

It could mean openly disavowing him, withdrawing all financial support and putting remaining resources into saving the House/Senate.

Ok, maybe not the 'openly disavowing' part. But opportunity is knocking for them now, out of necessity.

They can't push him over the cliff...but they might entice him to step off.

I doubt that would happen... he's too vain to cave to such pressures.

But then again, I doubted he would get this far, so who am I to know?

If the GOP tried to do this, they'd definitely lose the presidential election, and dropping him won't help them save downballot races, since the Trump voters would not vote for the 'establishment' if it steals the nom from their hero.

into a frenzy as it is. If Trump is forced to walk the plank, most of his supporters are going to explode.

I can't wait to watch him dig in because he's incapable of anything else.

Burns down the whole fricken republican village as he immolates himself!!!
