14. It could be a disaster if Trump was replaced

for Hillary. And for America


The worst thing in the world for Democrats is if Trump was somehow replaced with a "viable" candidate in the Republican party. If its this close now, what would happen if millions of Republicans who were going to stay home now have a sane choice (relatively speaking). Millions of Republican women that were contemplating voting Hillary now have a "decent" person to vote for. This shiny new choice would obviously realize he or she has to milk the topics like "Hillary is a crook" and " Emails Emails Emails..." "Pay for Play" etc..because they are not going to throw out what works with their base, but they will do it in a well-honed smooth manner that only a seasoned politician can do. Especially if given a few weeks to establish themself.

So no Keith, you are wrong on this one. We can hold out for a few more weeks can't we?
