I see a lot of posts talking abotu the right pulling the plug on Trump

[titaniumsalute]

The problem is that there is really no way to pull that plug. As far as I have read the RNC cannot pull any plugs. They could publicly say they are no longer backing the candidate but I don't see that happening. As for big donors...well they really are not fueling Trump's campaign anyway. So nothing really to pull there. Publically numerous Republicans are not endorsing Trump or even endorsing Hillary.

Really the only plug-pulling could be done by Trump himself which I don't see happening.

1. agreed. if they think he's a disaster for them, then their best approach is to just let him lose.

distance themselves from the loser.

of voting against Donald J Trump...

4. It too late for any official action, and Republicans are too cowardly to speak

out against Trump as individuals. Their caucus is so riddled with no-nothings and extremists they can't even come together as a group to condemn Trump's shocking rhetoric, let alone denounce him and withdraw their endorsements.

Even Republicans calling for Trump's ouster from the Republican ticket acknowledge it would be difficult at this juncture to replace him ahead of the Nov. 8 election.

Party rules would require hosting another nominating convention or having delegates vote following the same process used at a formal convention. In addition, some states require that nominee names on ballots be certified earlier than others. The deadline in Ohio is Aug. 10; Florida is Sept. 1. Both are critical battleground states.

6. I don't know the ins and outs of the RNC, but I am sure they can be very convincing if they want to

be.

8. Ordinarily yes. With Trump...there's no convincing him of anything.

7. Republicans in different races are calculating what is best for them.

In the very red districts, they plan on supporting Trump.

In the tighter races, them may decide to put distance between themselves and Trump.

It depends on each individual race.
