44. What would he have to do?

For R's in congress to repudiate him? Refuse to sign some stuff if they ever get it into his tiny hands.

For his supporters? Nothing. I am at the point now where I believe he could personally come and shoot their entire families to death and his fans would cheer and tell him how great he is while taking selfies with him and the dead relatives.

They would definitely stop supporting him if he wiped of the orange and revealed he was brown or black. That's about it.
