a non-viable candidate.

I do believe a number of Republicans in Congress will blink.

"Get rid of the ballots." He said that on national television. Once he knows winning is an impossibility, he has to resign so Pence can pardon him for what he can. But I feel he would resign before the election to avoid the humiliation.

I don't think the Senate will take up his nominee after saying this, after saying the SC will decide earlier today, after the Atlantic story.

They won't want to be tied to what appears to be, by his own words, an attempt to subvert election results.
