Can they though? RFK has been forced to stay on ballots in a few states because it’s too late to drop out. States like MI is one and it would be a automatic win for Harris since ballots can’t change.
I believe from memory (and I’d have to research this myself again) that while the ballots wouldn’t change, whoever the GOP has running in his place would win the spot. You can’t just win an election because your opponent disappears.
I would LOVE to see Trump drop out for whatever reason, and then the GOP has a vote like they did for the speaker of the house to see who takes his place. The drama of all the wackos that 1/2 of even the GOP worst dislike, mixed with all the opportunist bottom feeders, all trying to battle it out to lead the party in the new power vacuum of “yes men/women” would be just pay-per-view level entertainment.
I think this is what they’re hoping for: Trump holds on until the election, then kicks the bucket a month into office so Vance, a far more naked and coherent authoritarian, can take his place and start signing whatever he wants, with little to no fanfare or recognition because he’s happy to just have power.
He does to me. I first noticed it last month, then I googled it and people had first started talking about it last spring. There is a lot of speculation he’s on Ozempic, but it’s also possible he just learned how to shut his pie hole.
The republicans would have to find someone new, really quickly.
Trump will never drop out though.

That sounds premature.

Each state would have to decide for themselves how it works.
And yes, candidates win all the time due to their opposition dropping out, dying, etc etc. But TMK, has never happened with a presidential election.
Oh look what you did: you made Kevin McCarthy cry. I hope you’re proud of yourself.
Well done!

Or if he doesn’t drop out, it will still be worth watching Trump getting weaker and weaker while the vultures are circling.

But the cheeseburgers could catch up to him at any moment. He’s old AF and looks to be in terrible shape.
Believe it or not, he’s lost a lot of weight in the past year. He must be laying off the Big Macs (and/or downing amphetamines)
Could be stress from the felony cases. Hopefully he dies of it.
Even if true, I refuse to believe it was intentional.
He doesn’t look like he has lost any weight.

GLP1’s working on a lot of people.
That would be sooo awesome.
