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?
First, Trump would have to voluntarily exit the race. Officials say there is no mechanism for forcing him to withdraw his nomination. (Trump has not given any indications that he no longer wants to be his party's nominee.)
Then it would be up to the 168 members of the Republican National Committee to choose a successor, though the process is complicated.
One Republican legal expert has advised party officials that, for practical reasons, Trump would have to drop out by early September to give the party enough time to choose his replacement and get the next nominee's name on the ballot in enough states to win.

MSM is very desperate it seems.
Vote Trump 2016
Just the Legacy Media doing whatever it can to dishearten, demoralize and confuse.
Don’t hold your breath, asswipes! Donald Trump is NOT a quitter, he’s quite the opposite. I do wish that he’d focus on Hillary’s problems and his virtues for our nation, but just because he lost a little focus because of this Khan creature doesn’t mean that he’s even thinking of quitting.
However, there is a line forming to the right for you GOPe types to withdraw from the Party.
Trump truly has no one in the establishment who is not supporting Clinton....republican establishment, democrat establishment, media, education, etc.
It is Trump versus the world.
That’s a tough stand to take alone. It takes a real fighter even to undertake it. Very few stand in public with him.
It’s like an old Louis L’Amour western.
drudge has ignore all this utter
Koch bros / Ryan attack .
so its pure bs
” (Trump has not never given any indications that he no longer doesn’t want to be his party’s nominee.)”
These people would love to see Trump drop out!
Someone remind me when Trump will be able to fire Reince Priebus.
Haven't some of those those gates already closed (Texas specifically)?

They will lose this election plus EVERY damn one to follow, if they ignore the people. At least they SHOULD lose them all.
Don’t you ignorant people know the GOP brain trust knows what’s best for you? /s
These people are nuts.
“senior party officials” = the Bush/Clinton crime cartel.
Why would Trump drop out?
Ping.....
The pace of the new talking points ‘Trump is mentally ill’, concocted by the MSM and joined by all anti-Trump forces, has become furious.
They are hoping for the bandwagon effect and happy about dropping everything else, from Hitlery to the ransom money and anything in between.
MORE LIKELY
clinton indicted or brain aneurysm or grand mal seizure.... AGAIN
COME ON WIKI......pull the trigger and dump the e=mails that will put her fatass in jail.......
Zero chance Trump volunteers. But suppose he visits Vince Foster.
The ONLY choice is Mike Pence. Any other choice would be worse than forfeiting the election.
This goes with the media meme of the day.
And, I MUST say the establishment propaganda machine is enormous. And has always been effective in the past.
And, now, we the people can smell their desperation.
Likely, if there was no alternative media, most of us would be aligned with them.
The media is trying to stir the pot
Get rid of ALL RINOs
Ignore ALLL media
Get Out The Vote
These people not only don’t want Trump to lose. They want Hillary to win.
If Trump drops out I will sit at home on election day. Plus, I’ll also think it was all for show. What better way to explain to the stupid American people how someone like Hillary could get elected president.
