South Florida, you are being WAY too threatened by a scenario that is only hypothetical.

And no, Pence couldn't win without a lot of work.

Kad: "South Florida, you are being WAY too threatened by a scenario that is only hypothetical."



I think that's SF's passive-aggressive way of saying that Hillary is a weak candidate and can only win against Trump, thereby implying that Sanders was the only logical choice. Give it up!

Wish I could feel your guys confidence, but I can't. I'm too depressed. I wanna run against him.

Pence wouldn't have a chance against Hillary.

But if Trump exits, the RNC will pick someone with a bigger national profile, like Romney or Ryan, both of whom would lose. Rubio and Cruz would want it, but they would lose as well.

Basically, there is no one in the GOP with enough moxie and charisma to enter the race and win.

Which is why the ended up with Trump to begin with!

PJ, who the hell would want to be the sacrificial lamb for the GOP, if they were to replace Trump? I can just see the Trumpsters hating and threatening the replacement candidate, not to mention that it would be political suicide to accept.

Short of going back in time to discover their spines last summer and putting down Trump immediately as well as establishing that maybe every hanger-on in the party shouldn't throw their hat into the ring, there's nothing the GOP now can really do to walk this back.

Am I missing something? Why would trump drop out?

Donald Maroney, the Tumblr that combines Donald's face with Jenna Maroney's (30 Rock) words.

Ohio Governor Kasich is in the middle of his 2nd term. Four years from now he'll be out of the governor's mansion ala Christie thanks to the state's two consecutive term limit. If Trump dropped out and the party bosses groveled enough, I could see a Kasich/Pence ticket materialize in a flash. I'm not suggesting that the pair would be that competitive but Trump is absolutely toxic down ballot right now. As other posters have suggested, I strongly suspect that Ryan, Cruz, and definitely Rubio are holding out for 2020 when Hillary/Kaine will arguably be much more vulnerable. By that time voter apathy towards Dems will have likely set in if history is a reliable guide.

A new flurry of polling data reinforces Clinton's convention bounce. She is +10 in a Fox national poll, and in other polls she is +15 in New Hampshire, +9 in Michigan, and +9 in Pennsylvania. Also, Kelly Ayotte is -10 in her senate race.

He'll drop out if the polls continue to show him losing. The one thing he can't abide is being a loser.
