This guy is done, its going to be HRC vs Pence...I doubt about second debate

First WP story
Then CNN Howard Stern Story of threesomes, Calling daughter Piece of Ass, Telling people about her breasts etc etc
Then Attempted Rape in Ivanka's bedroom
and on and on

If his campaign donations stop, he will for sure drop out, I am positive somebody is making Pence for president website now...

If tomorrow debate happens, he will be there, I will be proven wrong, which is a good thing.

We will have month long entertainment.

"The media and the establishment" is red meat to the base. He's not quitting and the sad thing is he'll be richer after this election than before.

that by voting for Trump, they are voting for Pence and every voter would have to believe that Trump will resign after winning. That's an extremely hard sell at this stage in the game.

If the Trump/Pence ticket wins the EVs, the electors have to vote for Trump. Trump would then have to resign after being sworn in triggering the replacement process. You'd have to convince folks that Trump will honor his word.

Outside of trying to sue, there is no way of getting Trump off the ballot and as long as he is at the head, legally he is entitled to the EVs that he wins.

The RNC has no say at this point over already printed ballots and electors. That is determined by the myriad of laws that states use to govern the election. Most states also have rules for harshly punishing faithless electors. They would have to sue states to try and replace Trump on the ballot.

Frame them as ads against Trump based on his VP pick. That way if Pence does end up being nominee he doesn't skate by without his record being exposed.

I really wish Tim Kaine had gone after Pence a little more instead of focusing entirely on Trump during the VP debate.

to watch Episode 2 of Westworld on DVR.

(Though, to be totally honest, the ensuing political freakshow might be worth watching live. I'm so conflicted!)
