what they're debating is whether that is better or worse than letting trump stay in the race 4 more weeks.

About this whole thing
Why would he
He would be a sad sack with a destroyed brand
Staying he'd get 35% at least, that's still a better outcome
I don't see accepting Pence stays on the ticket
I am sure he will insist he goes too
Only a huge cash haul could make him leave and it would've hard to keep this private
