If Trump is Removed, Does That Mean He Was Right That Election Was Rigged...

...except that it was the GOP establishment that was the one doing the backroom political deal to handpick the President over the popular will of the GOP base? In contrast, Democrats were more than happy to have this race decided at the polls on November 8th.

What is the misunderstanding? He CAN NOT BE "REMOVED". And he isn't quitting. So enough please. RBInMaine Oct 2016 #2

So, Why Are They All Loudly Demanding That He Withdraw? TomCADem Oct 2016 #5

They CANNOT UN-NOMINATE TRUMP. Repubs can only run from him to save themselves. misterhighwasted Oct 2016 #3

Much of what we are hearing from the Repubs is simple grandstanding anyway.
Trump represents everything the Republican Party has worked to become over the years.

They Can't get rid of Trump and he's not quitting.
End of that story.

It sure seems like it is mostly Republicans, not Democrats, trying to handpick who gets to run for President.

Reaction to the video of Donald Trump using explicit language and apparently describing himself forcing himself on women continues to roll in. And it is not good for the GOP nominee. Prominent Republicans are calling on him to drop out and elected officials are running from him and fast.
