Why would it make it more effective? The American people are going to know it is unfair for him to be recorded in private.

The American people are going to think this is the real Donald Trump. The majority already do not like him, especially women.

Mike Pence isn’t drawing crowds, Donald Trump is.

Neither is Hillary Cliniton drawing crowds; it's no longer about crowds; it's about debates, MSM coverage, dinner table conversations, locker room conversations, work place conversations, and voter booths. Pence offends no one. Women like him. If Trump hands the baton to him, Pence can win.

You’re assuming all of Trump’s supporters would back Pence. Pence didn’t add to Trump’s poll numbers.

“The American people are going to think this is the real Donald Trump. The majority already do not like him, especially women. “

You’re just buying the mainstream media’s propaganda. There are polls with him leading. The American people already knew Trump talked this way.

If Trump hands the baton to him, Pence can win.

No. He won't win.

Too many of those Trump supporters are Trump -- not Pence -- supporters. If Trump is forced out, many of his supporters will leave with him, and we will see repeats of 2008 and 2012.

The docket is Trump or Clinton. One of those will be the next president. [Recall a week ago the bluster concerned what the Dems would do if Clinton was forced out.]

Pence just doesn't have the drawing power. It would sort of be like replacing Hillary with Chelsea or even Kaine. There is no real excitement for any of those.

I don't think the solution is for Trump to drop out a month before the election. Pence seems like a nice guy and enough people, especially rank-and-file Republicans, like him. But can he win Wisconsin, Iowa, Nevada? I don't know that Trump can either, especially now. But it took someone unconventional, like Trump, to even put those states in play.

The left would go on and flay Pence as well. "The last-ditch effort of a failed, sexist, racist campaign, who hasn't debated Clinton, who hasn't been put under the microscope, blah blah blah..." None of it would be reasonable, but that doesn't stop the left, does it? The optics would be terrible.

How much are you being paid? Your arguments are ridiculous. Americans, including women, are sick and tired of political correctness. Trump is straight up himself and a hellovalot of women like to see someone who tells it like it is. We are sick and tired of the lilywhite lying perfectionists who think their s—t doesn’t stink.....like Ted Cruz for example.
