If the Republican Nominee(I try not to say his name)were to get out of the race, what would happen? [View all]

Is there some kind of process in place? I'm hoping Lawrence covers it tonight. I think he has discussed it before. However, that was a couple of months ago. Now that we're one month away from the election, does that limit what the republicans could do? Thanks for any feedback.
