RNC convention?
Could they do a movement in which the RNC dumps Trump at the convention?
I only ask because I wonder how this would effect the election?

(34,857 posts)Not technically impossible - as the RNC could vote to release all the delegates and have them vote for whomever they want (but they would have to be released since Trump won those delegates in caucuses and primaries) - but very very improbable. It would not be good optics and Trump still has a significant amount of support among the GOP base. If they dumped him, and say nominated Pence, he would get blown out in November even worse than Trump.

Trump will likely receive a higher percentage of the Republican vote than he did last time. He lost 8% to Hillary in 2016. Most polls this time have him losing 7-8%. The new CNN poll has it down to 4%. That is too low. My estimate has always been 7%.
