I think we all heard by now that he and his wife were absolutely livid at what Donnie said in the video. This could be part of a concerted GOP effort to drive Donnie from then ticket. I hope that doesn't happen. With Donnie at the top, Hillary could eat bon-bons and drink cherry liqueur from now until election day and she will be the next president.

Ballots are printed, people are voting. He is not getting replaced.

The public votes to choose electors not directly for the nominees. I think Trump will step aside perhaps after aggressive behind-the-scenes persuasion.

So, if Trump wins the state, the electors will be bound by law to vote for him - they cannot vote for Pence or another Republican. That isn't the case in every state, however, it is the case in all these states:

Alabama
Alaska
Colorado
Florida
Michigan
Mississippi
Montana
Nebraska
North Carolina
Ohio
Oklahoma
South Carolina
Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming

There's enough states there that if, say, the Republicans are somehow successful at getting electors to vote for someone other than Trump in those states he wins not listed above, that there will be enough electoral votes listed above, most likely to stop a secondary candidate from winning the 270 needed.

he is a bigger idiot than I thought.

Funny that hes outraged now. Trump hasn't been hiding who he is at all.

Or diverted to his businesses. He's not giving up this sweet con anytime soon.

still need shearing.

Fashion he waited until Trump got caught.

But now he is embarrassed that the rest of the country knows - and he is married to him as his VP candidate.

Pence knew what Trump was. Everyone did. Pence just sold his soul to the devil for political gain. That makes him as bad as Trump, if not worse.

...despite the heartache and physical risk. And he tried to send women to prison for miscarrying. The man is a monster; he's just not as entertaining as the Donald.

He wants 2020 so he'll play the loyal son this year.

Of bon-bons and cherry liqueur.

Going down with the Trump-tanic or safe exit on the first life boat, his decision may not be too difficult. If he wants to be a viable candidate for 2020 and beyond, he would need to leave the ticket immediately.

Could be.

So is Pence, unless he disassociates himself, although the narrow window for his riding off to into the future atop a white horse (white elephant?) is rapidly closing.

You've got the crazy bible-thumping 'christian' social conservatives. You've got the neo-nazis, ku kluxers and other racist slime. You have the misogynists. You have the homophobes. You have the xenophobes. You have the tin-foil hat Birchers. And, SURPRISE - now you have a sexual predator who racist, homophobic, xenophobic and misogynistic AS THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.

The truly hilarious thing about this is that the corporate interests who have used Fox 'news,' and hate-talk radio to manufacture consent among the ignorant for their immoral, odious capitalist agenda of exploitation - trying to squeeze us for the uttermost farthing of profit - are now RECOILING IN HORROR over the horrible orange zombie that is shambling along in hopes of being elected. They are looking at a 90%+ chance of Clinton being elected, a better than even chance Dems will take the Senate and the chance the GOP will lose a bunch of House seats as well.

You know, it's pretty fucking funny.

Unless he wins.

So, please, please, please vote, and don't waste that vote on a third party candidate. Yes, I know Clinton isn't perfect. But she cares about people. She knows the issues backwards and forwards. She is sane.

Vote Clinton!

He's not quitting because the RNC needs him in the event that Trump quits. What the RNC and the Trump campaign do know is that there is no way they can put Trump in that town hall debate forum on Sunday. Talk about coming to a battle of wits unarmed! Instead, they're prepping Pence to go head to head with Hillary. That's the only strategy they've got at this point.

He was going to lose his re-election bid. Nobody else wanted to be on this suicide ticket, but for Pence that was a lot better than losing your own re-election.

And now that his stock went up in the VP debate, he is effectively getting off the Trump ticket. It is a finesse move. He avoided the humiliation of being ousted in Indiana, and now sees the opportunity to avoid being associated with the Trump drubbing.

Pretty savvy moves, I'd say. He comes out of this as the GOP front-runner for 2020.

It's the best move for him and maybe for the GOP if they go full shunning of Trump.

...the GOP has already moved onto 2020, viewing 2016 as a wash. Pence is probably thinking "Why be vice president to this yahoo, when I can be president all on my own in four years?" And it seems he's taking most of the GOP rank-and-file with him, as if he's their lifeboat. Yep. That's "stamina" for you. Or maybe it is (no sarcasm). The GOP certainly stayed on the Trump-Tanic longer than I thought they would.

And I've said for a long time that the republican party should just take this loss and look ahead to future elections. By supporting Trump, they have only harmed themselves and showed the world that they have no character or integrity.

..and the republican party. GOP voters will eat that up in four years. And possibly so will independent voters. Americans have a short memory and less vote in re-election years. I don't think we should write him off. But then, a lot can happen in 4 years. Who knows if he'll still be the GOP shining knight in armor by 2020. No one imagined Trump, not in 2012 and not up till the 2015 primaries.

Quits maybe the orange ass wipe will get Ann Coulter as a running mate.

All he could get to speak at the convention except Scott Bao

Pussy grabbing and shit talkin!

Kissing, crotch grabs and all!

Pussy grabber and the...I can't even type it.

Electionus interruptus may be about to occur.

Interesting times, to be sure.

Can Trump simply choose another VP candidate, or does the Republican party have to approve the choice?

Several recent cases, including the case of Frank Lautenberg in 2002, have required states to change the ballot inside of their own deadlines.

However it's certainly true that some states are not competent enough to change their ballots, and early voting has been ongoing for a couple of weeks now, so it would be quite the mess.

Per the Constitution, we vote for individuals. They are on the ballots legally and that cannot be changed.

Won't matter, as any change will only reduce the credibility of the GOP and they will lose worse than they will already

Holy shit, this is getting REAL! (Real GOOD)

Second thoughts on the ticket?

I want us to beat their fucking asses from here to oblivion on November 8th. Nothing less will do.

Ooooooo I wanna see the pukes sink like a full diaper in dumpf's gold plated swimming pool.

I want the Republican Party to suffer a slow and painful slide into irrelevance just like what they tried to do to President Obama for the last 8 years !!

Was the promised obstruction of President Obama for 8 years.

They screwed the whole country including their own followers which empowered Trump to power.

Friggen idiots.

Trump could probably pick a replacement by himself. Not sure.

If Pence quits it's a signal that the GOP is going nuclear on Trump, they will freeze him out and let him whither on his own. Not a penny, not a word, and not a single person to help Donald from the Republican Party from here on out.

They are saving the party and Trump will go nuclear too and tell his Deplorables to not vote down ticket.

He will lash back
Laying low and hoping he quits
Without retaliation is their only option

Downticket vengeance!

I just checked back and Mike has just been scheduled to speak in Charlotte, NC on October 10, his only one. Wish to heck I would have grabbed a screen shot of the empty schedule.

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

But if he were to resign, Christie would gladly step in.

In NJ the two people who are on trial for bridge gate are testifying he knew about the GW Bridge being shut down

Christie's ego is too big to ever believe he will get caught. Let him sink however he chooses.

I just went back and reloaded the screen and it's gone again:

[IMG][/IMG]

I hope pence drops out.

If he wants a future in politics, he has to separate himself from a toxic campaign. He is coming off a well-regarded debate performance (at least in repub circles), and could look like a principled guy - ready for the next election - if he leaves the ticket.

Or he can end his political career now and go down in history tied to the pu**y grabber Trump.

The media slobbered all over him after the VP debate, so he's probably more convinced than ever that he's got a shot at 2020... if he doesn't let the Trump-stink bring him down too much.

Thanks Republicans for the free entertainment!

The website says that Pence's schedule is being updated. He's nowhere on the schedule now.

Interesting.

i am sure mike is feeling pretty stupid right now. but who the hell would step in at this point? i know that party is full of crazies, but.....

it would take a trumpian sized pay off under the table.

Knowing her, she'd make a comment like, "Women should be flattered if Trump grabs their pussy!"

maybe they can do a sweep of the psyche wards.

I saw her on Chris Matthews last night and she called the contents of the tape just 'bad boy' talk. You know how boys will be boys!

try that, suckers. just try that.

for a change. we all knew it would come to this at some point.
it's a great day for the country, imho.

Trump being destroyed AND refusing to quit the race.

It's like a dream come true.

And she's a woman, so Trump could say, "See??? I like women."

Star power!

He might think if he chooses Ivanka as his running mate that would solve his "woman problem."

she seems like she ought to be smarter than that.

Will Pence announce his own run? Sounds like GOPers are lining up behind him. I'm sure there'd be no love lost between him and Trumpster.

tooting his own horn about what great judgment he has picking Pence after the VP debate.

Pence was in this for Pence. He barely defended Trump at all, Pence was setting himself up for 2020. Dropping out now from the VP slot can only help Mike Pence.

Got three replies saying, in effect, what a joke. He's make himself a repug hero if he did it.

in a room, they are told that Trump, if the Pubs win, will take office and then immediately resign (or be designated unfit to govern) and Pence would be the de facto President. This plan would then be announced to the public in the hopes that Trump supporters would still vote Pub because Pence would be the acting President.

I do agree with others on this thread that if Pence stays on this ticket as if nothing was wrong, he'll never hold office again.

Pence's career was on life support in Indiana so he jumped into the VP slot with Trump. Now he's on a doomed ticket. I doubt he's all that excited about taking the reins and riding this wagon straight into hell.

A politician only has one, maybe two chances to run for President. If he ends up on the top of this ticket - his national political career is likely over.

Trump Has Burned The GOP To The Ground With Insincere Disastrous Video Non-Apology
Donald Trump released a late night video that was a hollow insincere apology that turned into a sleazy attack on Bill and Hillary Clinton that just burned the Republican Party to the ground.

Republican Officials Are Meeting Right Now To See If They Can Toss Trump Off The Ticket
RNC officials are meeting to discuss what options the party has in case Trump is not the nominee. In other words, the RNC is trying to think of a way to legally ditch Trump.

The intrigue behind these Trump discombobulation is fascinating!! What a Shakespearean mess!

Down down down.

Go down.

nothing to see here... it's all just a scheduling problem.

be unemployed AND detested. Everything I've read says thr people of his State really dislike him and were thanking the Con ofor taking him away. After this mess, I think Mr. Clean will have to actually get a REAL JOB! His political career is over.

till its a Pence for Prez site. Or is he already scheming for 2020?

I couldn't sleep last night with anticipation of today's updates ..... yummmmmm !!

i was up all night listening to the talking heads and giggling about the downfall of t'rump and the rethug party.

Trump's rabid base will rebel and refuse to vote. Even if Trump were to make it voluntary they'd think he was "forced" off somehow by the hated establishment and they-would-go-nuts!!!

Bwahahaha!!!!

Go check out Freeperville if you have the stomach, it's hilarious.

They would be mad, but they will vote for anyone to keep Hillary out.

Except this time, the running mate (Pence) has no one to blame but himself.

Just go into hiding? Im positive the RNC will not let him leave the campaign all together.

Click on any day of the calendar to see what the schedule looked like.

I guess anyone who wants to know will figure it out.

Awful hilarious.

"The suspense is killing me. I hope it lasts."

W. Wonka

And doesn't trust dipshit to be near his 15 year old daughter.

I wonder what this means!

It's all snowballing - today!

so he will make the top of the ticket appearances while this gets sorted out

so cancel what you book until the new schedule is done

"Ah ! well a-day ! what evil looks
Had I from old and young !
Instead of the cross, the Albatross
About my neck I hung."

I mean, Sarah Palin was crazy enough, but this? This is a clusterfuck of such massive proportions that it will be studied for hundreds of years as the time America almost became a white supremacist country and only Trump's sex life stopped it.
We live in interesting items, that's for sure.

Says 10/10 in Charlotte, NC at 1:00, 7:00 Fayetteville, NC
