I'm not so sure that Trump isn't trying to force the RNC to get rid of him.

He had a bad week last week. He thought he had support in criticizing the Khan family, but that back-fired. Then he saw the post DNC convention polling, and Trump, being a TV reality guy, follows TV ratings and polling closely. Since Sunday he has tripled down on everything crazy that you can imagine. If the RNC finds some way to get rid of him, he won't be faced with more humiliation leading up to the election. More importantly, he won't be faced with an almost sure defeat. Mentally unstable people think things out, and Trump appears to be doing just that. He will be able to say that he was cheated out of the presidency. In his warped little mind, that works.

Yes, they can, but the process isn't easy and will require the states to be involved. tonyt53 Aug 2016 #3

Only provide for replacement in case of a vacancy.

Is there another set of regulations you have seen?

Unfortunately, he's going to have to take responsibility for getting out. There's no other way.

By doing everything and anything to lose on purpose. I'd say the mans had s serious mental meltdown and there's nothing his campaign nor family can do anything about it now .

He can't get facts straight. He lies more than anyone else. He contradicts himself.

He can't let the Kahns go because, believe me, they disrespected him, that I can tell you. Disrespected him.

Trump doesn't play chess or even play checkers.
