Well..they're a factor..for sure...but it's moot, I think..Trump won't be dropping out...he's probably going down in a blaze of tweets--to resurface as a Media mogul.

A little partisan, aren't we?

They can't pick another candidate. Research it yourself. Ballots have been printed and the election is a month away, some people have already voted and most states have laws that would require another convention to change the nominee, and they still couldn't change pledged delegates without having another primary.

No not really as they are both polar opposites in the direction they want to point our country in.

I am also enjoying the desperate posts of the Trump supporters, pretending this was not the game changer it was, and futilely starting thread after thread to attack Hillary, as if anyone is paying the slightest attention to any of those bogus claims - they barely were before but now Trump has his fondest thing, 100% of media attention. Except of course, all of it is negative.


Yep, we are all enjoying watching them pretend that Trump isn't in trouble ! Did you see the face on Donald Trump during that " apology" speech ? It was WONDERFUL to see him look that disturbed. (well, he is ALWAYS DISTURBED, but you know what I mean.)


Tonight is gonna be like the Thrilla in Manila all over again, with Hillary kicking more Trump butt. This just keeps getting better every day.

I don't know the details but; IF a candidate gets taken out, Hillary OR Trump, I'm sure another person will be picked, maybe Kaine or Pence? I don't think the parties are that stupid to not have that base covered.

Usually, at lower levels..when the un-forseen happens...they hold the election anyway, let the chips fall--if candidate dead--pick successor after election.

This is how indicted candidates, dead candidates, etc. have 'won' elections in the past.

Not quite the October Surprise the Trumpies were hoping for, was it?

Not to worry, they are already posting all over the forum about why it doesn't matter.
