Republicans think Trump might quit — so they’re scrambling to find a replacement: ABC News

[womanofthehills]

Karl said the Republican Party could not force Trump out of the race now that he’s their nominee, but he might solve their problem by dropping out.

“He would have to go out voluntarily, then it would be the 168 members of the RNC, through a complicated process, that would pick a new candidate,” Karl said. “It would have to happen by early September.”

1. REpublicans HOPE Trump will quit

I ain't buying that wishful thinking bullshit.

2. I think he is going to quit because

the other day he said it was a waste of his time if he didn't win. He can not stand to be down in the polls.

3. Yes, they continue to show how delusional they are.

Trump ain't gonna quit.

4. Maybe those "bone spurs" are going to start acting up.

Even if he quits, his followers will write him in. They are as crazy as him.

5. I really don't think it'll happen, but I'm still worried about it.

It is the worst case scenario for us.

Not that Hillary Clinton couldn't beat someone else, but it would be a **** of a lot easier against Trump.

9. some of his supporters will still vote for him if he quits

that could help. I don't see him being like Bernie.

6. Republicans are going to give Trump money to quit

Trump likes the deal.

7. Like I said before he is done.

They are going to make him an offer he can't refuse.

8. Why by the first part of September?

Is there a deadline where they can't remove him from the ballot, or are thy just afraid if they wait to long they won't be able to sell a new candidate? Those who have already endorsed him wouldn't be able to win, not after accepting all the shit he has said and not standing up to him. Seems like the field would be pretty small, and not likely to beat Hillary anyway. Of course maybe they simply realize even if they can't win, it's better than taking a chance Trump might win.

10. I imagine it is due to ballot access. Early voting begins in September in some states.

11. Trump brought out the very worst in the GOP base and the Dixicrats still among us. Finding a real

honest conservative replacement for him will be difficult. Who would want to lead a base like that? They are so hateful and ugly the establishment GOP may go off and start a third party themselves.

12. I see no signs Trump is leaving.

Maybe they will pay him off.
