In reply to the discussion: Trump Critics Urge RNC To Replace Trump In Special Meeting [View all]yardwork
(61,588 posts)19. Thank you for doing that research!
I don't think that the RNC will replace Trump, for the simple reason that it's too late for anybody else to step in and be guaranteed to win at this point. The RNC won't go to all that trouble - upsetting their base - to lose anyway.
They've written off the White House this year. I think they wrote it off years ago. The RNC likes having a Democrat to blame.
They're worried about the Senate, House and gubernatorial races now.

RNC has no time to do this...as it requires special rules to be voted on with a certain time limits

The Tang T'ain't's base is the most dependable voting segment of the GOP's former base.

This is the RNC nominee, doubt they take him out. This is the result of a clown car run.

They had a year long primary with 17 choices, and they chose Trump in a landslide
