If the GOP did somehow "Dump Drumpf" in Cleveland, what would his options be?

9Would he be able to get on the ballot anywhere as an independent?

Would he have the stones to self-finance a write-in campaign(and how many states permit that for presidential campaigns)?

Or would he gather his supporters and their guns and launch a putsch?

The Never Trump have lost the right their bid to unbind delegates. They did not even get the 28 votes to get a floor vote.

So, it is pretty much a moot point
