Why Republicans can't easily dump Trump off the ballot

The GOP is stuck with Donald Trump -- but that isn't stopping weary Republicans from looking at every way possible to remove him from the top of the ticket.

News of Trump's sexually aggressive remarks from 2005 is just the latest explosion to spur discussion of ways to break ties with the presidential nominee.

The #NeverTrump forces fought all the way through the last day of the Republican convention. That was quickly followed by his lengthy battle with Gold Star parents Khizr and Ghazala Khan, which had some Republicans digging through the party's rules and state laws for options.

Talk of replacing Trump ebbed when he pulled even with Hillary Clinton in the polls last month, and with just 30 days left until the election, thousands of ballots already cast in states with early voting and the legal deadlines for changing names on the ballot already past, the GOP is stuck with him.

Then Trump-retards have well and truly given us Hillary Clinton as president.

You people are damned idiots and hypocrites, and you've ruined what would have been a cake-walk of an election for the GOP.  You stupid, silly gits.

The way to go about this is to name a replacement candidate, and then explain to the public that a vote for Trump is a vote for the replacement.  It's a long shot, but considering the Dem opponent, there is a shot.

   @HAPPY2BME  your perseverance is remarkable, you slug along here basically alone, except for an occasional dribble from @Longmire, where, pray tell, are your compatriots @unknown @DCPatriot  @Right_in_Virginia , why have they left you all alone to defend your guy?

    Bless your heart.


* you certainly remind me of someone @2DV at TOS.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.
