Ohhh I don't think so. He gets far enough behind and the party will hang him out to dry.

We hear news like this every week and nothing ever happens. People have stern talks with him, meet with him, criticize him - but in the end they don't rescind their endorsements, and nothing of consequence happens.

What are the republicans supposed to do. Like it or not the guy running for your highest position represents who you are as a party. The fact you want him to quit means you literally have no party, you have to own this decision. RIP Republican party, I couldn't have hated you more. Hope who ever replaces you are.... at least some what human.

Edit: I don't want trump to drop, please god give me that one final debate with him and Hilldawg!

I'm pro-life, but like the guys said in the other thread.

Republicans must be forced to carry their candidates to term, even if there is the risk of death of the party.

Their base, their voters wanted Trump, they got him. The RNC has to ride him out.

It was in the incredibly unlikely realm of plausibility until that second amendment 'almost overt' threat towards Clinton and/or Supreme court justices. That kinda shit the bed on the remaining sliver of that being a possibility.

They say this every month and nothing happens.

I want Paul Ryan to throw a banquet in Trump's honor, give him a thumbs up, and then slowly turn it down right before Chris Christie power bombs him through a table.

So, why are things going so bad suddenly? Felt like he just continued to be himself, but things turned worse for him over the last week or two. What is the shift?

He did continue to be himself. The problem was the RNC came and went, which meant there was no more candidates for people to compare him to, and everybody began to realize this was actually a step away now from being an entire country's leader. The comments that continued to come unbuffered began to horrify more people than normal

And then he said that not-slick assassination shit, and (deservedly) everyone flipped out in unison

What if the plan all along was to blackmail the republican mega donors.

At 1st he was just threating a 3rd party spoiler, then he accidentally won the damn thing. Now he is torpedoing the party, hoping for some go away money and then he can fake a heart attack or something to gracefully drop out.

I don't think a recovery is possible.

Imagine the depths of damage control that would be necessary after a week of this shitlord in office. Seven days of this guy with some real power, when even his words would need to be taken as seriously as the grave, much less the beginnings of whatever first 100 day plan he's supposedly got.

It wouldn't be some jackass imploding his political campaign and his personal reputation, he'd be directly damaging the US and its interests and relationships both domestically and around the world.

I'm slowly coming to the realization this is all a reality show called The President that will air next spring.

Late reply, but Trump this evening said, and I am paraphrasing or super close, "I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing."

Even with this meeting already scheduled, he said this.

Who was the poster who said he and his family were freaking out during the RNC? I'm curious what he's thinking now and if he's more optimistic a month after Trump's speech?

I have faith in the GOP's ability to waffle and hesitate to take decisive action until it's far too late to do anything.

Fron my estimate the biggest variables are:

1) the southern strategy which enabled the most bigoted and outspoken of the base to have equal footing in the legitimacy of their beliefs.

2) Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, etc. Their dialogue, fear mongering, and ability to evade facts led to a normalcy to spouting bullshit.

3) White national response to a bubbling culture war due to whites losing their footing as seperate from justic and huge privelage.

When you are used to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

These three things happened in quick succession:

1. RNC was a completely tone-deaf clusterfuck. His "I alone can fix it" got a lot of people legit shook with how authoritarian he was sounding. For many people, that's when reality set in that the man is a lunatic.
2. DNC went much better than anyone expected, and they fucking went IN on Trump for 4 days
3. Trump almost immediately got into a spat with the Khan family, couldn't stop himself even after everyone around him told him to cut it out

Everything that has happened since has been Trump just continuing to swim in the shit he took.

Great TIME cover. I hope it gets under his skin and he complains and says TIME is a struggling magazine. They're so dishonest. etc.

I thought Marco quit politics? Didn't he say he was going to live as a private citizen and away from politics after he dropped out of the race?
