The OFFICIAL Trump/HRC/2016 General Election Thread...

No, the GOP gets to choose the candidate. Which wouldn't necessarily be Pence.

Who within the party makes the decision? What is the selection and replacement process?

And on Pence not being the automatic choice, who else? Kasich, Cruz, Jeb? Doubtful.

Might be getting closer. Speaker Ryan just strongly admonished Trump's behavior. This might actually be the straw that broke the camel's back here. I'm not counting on it... but it would be a pretty interesting series of events.


Also... 100%, without a doubt, a cult (to some)

I'm excited that Trump went from a bit of a misogynist in those comments 11 years ago to the wonderful husband and father he is today.

There is no more powerful leader than a man or woman who has sinned and been redeemed. Moses, Samson, David, Abraham, Peter, Paul... Paul murdered Christians. Peter denied Christ. Should we tear their pages from the Bible?

Look at the Bible. An imperfect soul like Trump is EXACTLY the type of person God always uses to lead his people. The pious are the enemy. Who were always the bad guys in the Bible? The Pharisees, the Sadducees. The overtly religious and pious. The heroes were the redeemed.

What's interesting is that if you look at the Bible's heroes, they are exactly like Trump. Flawed but redeemed. David, Samson, Paul...

Found some info. If Trump quits it comes down to a vote of the 186ish members of the GOP. Number of votes are allocated by state population.

The biggest hurdle would be getting the new guy's name on ballots so late in the game.

But....Didn't Trump say he's never asked God for forgiveness? No repentance, no asking for forgiveness, no redemption (as I understand things).

The latest Trump ette is the final torpedo from which I don't think he will recover.

It's interesting that an audio clip that they've kept for 11 years finds it's way to the newsrooms on the very day Hillary's Wall Street speech transcripts are leaked. Assange must be facepalming.

They've got so much more, and they're going to destroy him with it as we get closer to the election.

Worst part, this was all 100% avoidable.

If it's going to happen, it needs to happen quickly. The right candidate could win the election. I don't know who that might be...it certainly isn't any one of the original candidates..but there has to be someone out there. Romney? Mebbe. I'd vote for Romney over Hillary any day.

Paul Ryan rescinds invitation to Trump to be at his Saturday event. The guy is poison now and no-one that wants to be reelected is going to touch the douche with a 10 foot pole.

So wait, a straight red blooded man talks about liking women in private and people are shocked?

Am I hearing this right?

Nailed it:

Washington State Republican Party Chair Susan Hutchison defends Trump comments, says they "were made when he was a Democrat"

Hey, I hadn't thought of that angle!

Hannity says Trump is going to be issuing a statement on camera shortly.

What Trump said is much worse than what Hillary has done. He is TOAST!

 

[Tombs]

Lets get some context...

Kennedy had so many affairs that it made it to the national geographic: The Sex Life of JFK - Killing Kennedy Article - National Geographic Channel
Arnold Schwarzenegger became the governor of California amid multiple rape and groping cases that usually had witnesses and video evidence.
Bill Clinton raped countless women, even including in the oval office, which the evidence was so great for he was impeached.

Trump talks about wanting to kiss and grope women in an 11 year old video and people are saying his campaign is over...? What? Is it only wrong to do if you're a republican?

 

[ArcadiaGP]

What Trump said is much worse than what Hillary has done.

Assuming you're being sarcastic, because that's definitely not true...

It doesn't matter what Hillary has done. Trump is poison, and a person of such poor character cannot represent the party. I'm hoping the party realizes this (even Romney has stepped up to speak against Trump... he getting ready?) and rips the band-aid off now before the actual GOP candidates running for election (senate/house) suffer from this.

Sticking with Trump, at this point... and stretching as hard as possible to defend him here... is going to guarantee President Clinton. GOP now has an opportunity laid at their feet to drop this guy.

 

[bwframe]

NeverTrumpers showing the faux outrage. How many of these have we had?

 

[Alpo]

Hillary has a reason to back away from debates and further validation of Trump as a candidate. I would.
Trump may pull the whole party down with him now. It will be a real upstream swim for any GOP candidate running for office.
He needs to withdraw tonight.
