Trump will NOT be dropped, but he may be "persuaded" to drop out himself. Or as ABC News has it:
Karl said the Republican Party could not force Trump out of the race now that he’s their nominee, but he might solve their problem by dropping out.
“He would have to go out voluntarily, then it would be the 168 members of the RNC, through a complicated process, that would pick a new candidate,” Karl said. “It would have to happen by early September.”
A stunned George Stephanopoulos, the Good Morning America host, asked if that was a real possibility.
“He is so unpredictable right now, they are so unable to control his message, that they just don’t know and clearly think it is a possibility, which is why they’re looking at these rules,” Karl said.
If that happens, I am predicting Pence stays as VP (to ensure some electoral credibility) and the top spot goes to Ryan, Kasich or (if the GOP wants another trainwreck) Cruz.
Kasich/Pence? I doubt it. Two midwestern governors doesn't make much sense.
The strongest GOP ticket would be, as already stated, Kasich/Rubio.
