Discussed possibility of Trump quitting on Morning Joe

[helpisontheway]

They said first Trump would have to quit on his own. Then (according to a guest on GMA) the RNC could decide who would be the candidate. It would not automatically be Pence. They said this would have to take place by early September.

1. He would NEVER Do So: His Ego is too big

The question is can the GOP dump him or is it too late?

[Ilsa]

4. They can't dump him. Their tea party

wing will bring their gunz if they try that!

9. Maybe they pay him off.

I think the guy is broke.

2. Would it be a negotiated termination where there would be a gag order

imposed on Trump not to talk shit about any republican candidate?

[reflection]

3. It seems to me that the best way to get Trump to quit

is to speak to the only thing that motivates him. Money. Tell him to name his price, then back the truck up. Surely the mega-donors in the GOP would spend good money to have at least a decent placeholder in the seat, one that would still lose, but free up the GOP funds to protect their House majority. That's their only reasonable goal at this point.

7. Yes. This would work. And if they don't pay him off, he could still quit and

sue them for billions for damage to his brand.

5. Trump ego won't allow himself to quit...his delusional thinking will

Keep him in to the final end and the Democratic landslide....

6. But it was RIGGED!!!

[longship]

8. The big question is: How does one accomplish that?

How does one of the two major political parties in the USA remove a presidential nominee after they vetted 17 fucking candidates?

My thinking is that there is no such mechanism. We're well into clusterfuck territory here. They don't know what to do.

10. Only way to do it. Trump must quit....and soon....so states can have

Time to correctly print new ballots.... otherwise...gop candidate would have to be a write in.....
