Ultimate fuckery. It would never happen, but I'd love to peer into that timeline.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: I Will Not Vote For the Republican Candidate for President
I kind of already had the feeling he wasn't going to.

This also echoes the fact that Hillary is only down by 3 in Alaska.

Was this ever a story outside of Mother Jones, from 1989: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-ekdCYzRDQ

They're not going to be able to do this for a plethora of reasons, least of which Trump will never, ever step aside. There's no time. There's no money.

If they run Pence, I think Hillary will have a good time destroying him with demos

Life comes at you fast.
Still wall to wall Hurricane coverage?
PS, I want to see Trump shut it down and just try to keep all his campaign money and act like it's just his personal money now.
Uh, what the fuck?
There it is.
HAHAHA

Seriously, what would happen if Trump dropped out (I know his ego won't allow it, just curious)? Are there some provisions for ballots in the case of a candidate dropping out, or otherwise not being able to finish the campaign? Would a vote for the Trump-Pence ticket be considered a blanket vote for whatever ticket replaces it? Would the entire campaign have to be done via write-in?

May the best woman win.
Well, there it is.
Again, if the Dems manage to take the House, they need to ram through their agenda with the explicit understanding that they'll lose control in 2018. Hillary needs to be able to run on her actual agenda in 2020 and if we are lucky enough to actually be able to pass it, then there can be no pretense of working with Republicans. They should live by those immortal words from Rahm Emanuel: "We have the votes, fuck em".
Oh damn

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
It doesn't matter.
There's only 2 scenarios in which Pence becomes president:
* Trump promises to vacate after he wins. Which makes 0 sense - he would win the election!
* Trump quits, and electors universally choose to vote for Mike Pence as faithless electors, e.g. a massive constitutional crisis happens.
Everyone needs to stop bedwetting about Pence bombing the ticket. It's a cool clickbait story that isn't plausible in any real way.
Even assuming, arguendo, you could replace Trump with Pence on some number of ballots, its completely implausible you could do so in an across-the-country sweep.

I'm actually a little shocked at the condemnation from the GOP today. I would have bet on them waiting till Monday, just in the off-chance he were to have a great debate. Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased to see it now, and still think it will be even greater if he totally tanks tomorrow night.

I bet Trump is fucking fuming right now. Tomorrow night is going to be glorious.

I doubt it. If the Democrats win both the House and Senate, they will likely be more productive than the 111th Congress.
Lmao, straight fire.
Yeah bro. This is so exciting. So many developments.I hope you're enjoying this, bro.
Well they had a guy in between epi pen news and hurricane stuff basically saying the GOP is gonna lose PA by even more now because conservative women just won't show up or maybe vote for Hillary. They know they can't even spin their way out of this

It almost feels like the only thing that makes this one different is that it was leaked and feels like a scandal whereas we're all numb to stupid prerecorded stuff or off the cuff remarks that would otherwise be scandalworthy

Technically, yes they can replace them it's just difficult and it's way too late to do it properly.
They would simply have to make clear that though it says Donald Trump on the ballot, it's actually a vote for [whoever] and then order the electors to vote as so.
But if he won, Trump has first shot at some of those electors among other things which would lead to lawsuits, it'd make Bush v. Gore look like a simpler case than it was.
Now, if they did this say, a month ago, it would have been far easier to just replace him.
