No one votes for a candidate for POTUS or VPOTUS. They vote for a slate of electors pledged to those candidates. Those electors could come to their sense even if Hillary does not drop out or is not forced out by the Democrat National Committee and vote for someone else.

“Those electors could come to their sense even if Hillary does not drop out or is not forced out by the Democrat National Committee and vote for someone else.”

Right, it actually shows what a good system this is. Forget the current scandals, etc. Suppose a person died or suffered a major illness right before, during or after the election (and you wouldn’t have to be a super old person for that to happen, look at Pence’s plane last night. Thank goodness everyone was OK, but the way these candidates travel night and day, anything could happen).

The electors can vote for anyone, depending on their state’s rules, but I think de facto they can really vote for anyone they please. They are indeed all party hacks, so if Hillary blew up (literally or figuratively) they’d probably vote for Kaine or Biden, not Trump or (far fetched thing I’ve heard) Romney.

But, in all honesty, I’d rather have any of those guys over Crooked Hillary and her whore-monger husband.
