Goodbye Cruz.
Goodbye. Forever. (I hope)
Edit: Wait, is Trump trapped in Trump Tower right now!? I guess he can get a helicopter to evac him.

All of my GOP friends in Utah love this news, they think it somehow gives the GOP and out so they can get a real conservative in and win the White House

How can he possibly debate now? There's no way he does it. It would be a firing squad.
So I was away most of the day. Trying to catch up on what I missed.
Trump releases tape of him being a disgusting pig. I'm continually surprised how people are shocked about his sexism. I mean, I guess this is the first time we've seen him be a predator about it, but it's not something I'm surprised about. Not that I'm complaining. More trump hate, the better.
And Hillary's speech transcripts got released...but apparently there's nothing in them? I'll read them myself in an hour, but can I get cliffnotes version from someone?
And is there anything else?

He's not dropping out of the debate or the election.

That NYTimes column makes him look like some kind of monster out of psychological horror movie.
I would say this is Team Clinton going for the kill, but I think they are just along for the ride. This is all about the press, after spending the late summer in a derangement over nothingburgers, started digging into Trump hard.

And she does.

Why the fuck is infidelity being equated with sexual assault on CNN right now?
Trump, for all his "winning" message and ego, has completely ran away like a spineless coward. I was tempted to call him a b---h, but that would be an insults to all women and girls everywhere, who I refuse to even hint at relating to this fucker. God damn, what a night this has turned into.
I think she should in that case. She's prepared and she looks her best when she's answering tough questions.

Hillary loves Canadian healthcare. She approaches trade with pragmatism and care. She believes that decisions should be based on facts and research. Wall street should be held accountable, but at the same time, the best people to manage wall street come from wall street.
Basically
- Hillary is pragmatic and extremely liberal.

And Andre seriously asking where was the outrage when he got fucking impeached and it tanked his favorabilities even if it didn't tank his approval ratings. Hell Hilary was enraged when she found out Bill had lied

So does Pence take over if Trump drops? How does that work for Clinton?
I don't think it's that anyone is surprised. It's just that it is now completely out there and indisputable. And it's not just him being sexist. It's him essentially saying "I can get away with sexual assault because I'm famous." The best defense they have right now is "locker room boys will be boys" and "but Bill."
Let it go.

This is literally impossible.
That'd require Trump backing down willingly.
Trump. Admitting defeat and withdrawing.
Trump.
Because they're Republican surrogates in a death spiral.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Oh, I know. They can't force him out. Just speaking hypothetically.
I mean, the guy hasn't shown one instance of him caring about the party, and him dropping out would be about the party.
Only thing I could see doing it is if he thinks it will hurt his business too much.

Early voting has already started and ballots have been sent out. Get a grip

No, Pence does not get automatically elevated to the top of the ticket is Trump were to unexpectedly drop out.
But he isn't dropping out, and it wouldn't help the GOP if he did.
Ahh gotcha. Some people were seriously thinking he'd drop out after this and I'm just sitting here repeating that to myself.
Trump's more likely to be ousted through some loophole and then he'll turn around and sue about it.

If Trump goes he's taking his followers (or at least half) with him. Any other republican has zero chance at this point.

This, too. New guy isn't even on ballots.

It would be really dumb and desperate. For one, regular voters would be confused, and anything that confuses voters depresses turnout. Second, a lot of GOP voters who didn't trust Trump would NOT want to vote for him because they wouldn't trust him to resign -- which also depressing turnout. It would hurt them across the board and reinforce their disfunction as a brand. It would make them look ridiculous: "vote for me and get him!" Plus Trump would never do this and go quietly anyway. No one has any leverage to get him to resign. He has no shame and no vested interest in the GOP or its future, and he's rich as fuck. He's not going anywhere, least of all turning everything he built over to a wax doll like Pence.
No, there really isn't.

But then he'd just be president.
