51. Here's the thing: Repukes can write his name in on the ballot, even if he isn't a candidate

What happens if enough people write in Chump's name and then it's unintentionally a 3-way race? A race that nobody wins?

We don't want that to happen, and (I'd assume) the Repukes don't either. So this issue needs to be settled BEFORE the primaries start and hopefully BEFORE he's convicted in one of his trials.

There needs to be a consensus, and I don't understand why it can't be settled by an Executive Order. That can be filed immediately before the shit hits the fan.
