Let's say, god forbid, Trump wins the GE.
If he really doesn't want to be president, would he conceivably resign some time after he's sworn in? Leaving his VP to take over?
I figured Palin was gunning for it, but now Christie is too, obviously. Neither prospect is comforting.

Its likely not going to be Rubio, Haley or Cruz for the GOP, so another white male is very likely now.

(50,279 posts)What if the plan is to plant an "acceptable" candidate on the ticket - Christie - as an insurance policy. If Trump is elected POTUS, it will probably be weeks not months before he commits an impeachable offense. Boom. He resigns. The RNC gets their choice.
