^That about covers it, homey!

 

Trump has signposted his insanely stupid Clinton plan for Sunday. It is absolutely suicide and most of his team must know it. "Looks like the product of a plea bargain," Lawrence O'Donnell says of the video. Everyone hates it.

 

So far the unendorse count is at: Huntsman, Jason Chaffetz, Mark Kirk and... the governor of Utah whose name I can't remember.

 

Did Halperin really call in to MSNBC upset?

Actually, they can replace him at any point up until election day. For major party candidates, the name on the ballot is largely irrelevant. People are technically voting for the party's electors in that state, not the candidate themselves. If Trump were to step down (he must step down, the party can't rescind the nomination once it's been awarded), the RNC would choose a new nominee. They don't have to choose Pence or any of the people who were in the primaries. They can choose any registered Republican willing to do it. They could try to distance themselves from Trump by going with someone like Kasich, Romney or Jeb Bush, none of whom ever endorsed him. They would try to change the names on the ballots by election day but, if they can't, it doesn't matter. Any votes cast under Trump's name (like on absentee ballots that have already been sent out) would go to the new Republican nominee.
