Republican officials are exploring how to handle a scenario that would be unthinkable in a normal election year: What would happen if the party's presidential nominee dropped out?

ABC News has learned that senior party officials are so frustrated — and confused — by Donald Trump's erratic behavior that they are exploring how to replace him on the ballot if he drops out.

So how would it work?

Too funny. YES TRUMP WILL DROP OUT. Right after he wins the election, cause he won’t be a candidate any more.

Nonsense. They’ll immediately start even more delusional rantings about whether Trump could be impeached even before he’s inaugurated. You know they will.

My god, everyone in power is against him.


Yep. And look at all the so called “conservative” career politicans and donors who have gone AWOL (with Americans dead by the dozens in our streets) rather than support the one man who can stop Hillary Rotten Criminal and her SCOTUS picks.

This is, in fact, a media meltdown, and the participants are apparently blissfully unaware that whatever pathetic shreds of credibility they still possess are snapping one by one with each succeeding comedy story.

“Boy oh BOY they are REALLY getting desperate I mean REALLY????”

Yeah, it’s pretty obvious that the establishment/elites have the full court press going to paint Trump as mentally unstable/incompetent.

Oh I doubt that he would, just that at this point I am so mad at the Republican Party I will spit on their graves. If he were actually going to do this he would not be wasting his time running around the country campaigning. This exercise by them to contemplate this possibility just highlights the stupidity rampant with the Republican Party.

The is NO WAY Trump drops out. I don’t see him being a quiiter, ever. His ego won’t allow it, not to mention that he has a very good chance of winning, notwithstanding the leftist media onslaught.

It’s going viral, as they say. People are seeing the headlines and think Trump is bailing.

If the Media gets much worse we need to be in the streets. Or this country is lost.

He hasn’t. This is just the latest LSM meme they are using to try to attack Trump.

It will work about as well as the last 1,342 memes. IOW, it won’t work.

The RINOs and their propaganda handmaidens in the media are in full panic. Their numbers show Trump trouncing the Hildabeast in November.

Treason and sedition trials imminent.

Danny Alberta ‏@DannyAlberta77 MSM has a flurry of "Trump's dropping out" stories. NEVER seen such projection in my life. These people literally star in their own movies.

Politico reported that, without prompting, a former Trump adviser said in an interview, Friday,

“I bet if someone offered him $150 million to drop out, he would,”

Asked about whether Trump would drop, another former Trump adviser, Jim Dornan said he believes the presumptive GOP nominee would cut a deal. “Yeah, probably,” Dornan, a veteran Republican operative who worked from Trump last spring on an abortive effort to set up a super PAC, replied via text message — adding there would be plenty of interest in buying him out. “The Kochs would be the first in line.”

Need a stronger response than that. What the Media is doing would, in earlier times, merit an armed response. This is nothing less than an assault on our democratic republic.

Fight. Or die.

This hysteria is getting so ridiculous it is going to backfire. The MSM is totally exposed on this.

Don’t know if crowds equal votes....do know that the Republican party has completely exposed themselves as flunkies for the MSM/DNC in its treatment of the Republican nominee.
