“I came here to say it’s become clear to me that it’s not my time. So after much prayer and deliberation, I have decided to suspend my campaign for president effective today,” Pence said, to audible gasps from the audience gathered at the Venetian resort on the Las Vegas strip.

    I just want to know what will happen when Trump is convicted if it happens before the republican convention. Yes, he might be out on appeal, but if itbis a state charge and a handful of states say he cannot be on the general ballot, what is the gop leadership going to do? Go with the runner up?

      Probably still support him, and try to win on elections in large states and if that doesn’t work, they’ll try to overthrow the government like last time.

      It won’t happen before the convention. Look at the dates. The Republican Convention is July 15th to 18th.

      The trials will take way more than four months.
