* Run with Trump and win - unlikely, but this would be a disaster for the Republicans if it did happen, for lots of reasons. E.g. so many senior Republicans have disowned Trump, there would be a split party in power
* Run with Trump and lose - and look bad for not taking the tough decision to drop him when it was so obviously the right thing to do
* Run with another candidate and win - bring in a late, untarnished candidate under whom the entire Republican electorate can breath a sigh of relief and unite, sweeping the damaged Hillary aside
* Run with another candidate and lose - and look good for taking a tough decision
It's pretty clear which of those outcomes is best for the Republicans. What's not so clear is which is worst, but I would suggest losing is not necessarily the worst outcome for them.

/// AOG is quite happy to include, in his sweeping generalisation, ALL women as being potential gold-digging, gasping fe-missiles...locked and loaded with successful men in their sights. ///
Where have I said anything about 'ALL' women?
I do not mind you having a different viewpoint to myself, but please do not tell lies about me, just to get over your warped views.
I am only referring to the type of woman that Trump is referring to in the article.

This article suggests it's theoretically possible but more likely is abstain or vote for somebody else e.g. an independent former Republican - "Could Republicans still dump Trump?" : http:// www.bbc .co.uk/ news/el ection- us-2016 -370403 60
Another great article about when he lost support from various Republican leaders, with a timeline, is "More Than 160 Republican Leaders Don’t Support Donald Trump. Here’s When They Reached Their Breaking Point" : http:// www.nyt imes.co m/inter active/ 2016/08 /29/us/ politic s/at-le ast-110 -republ ican-le aders-w ont-vot e-for-d onald-t rump-he res-whe n-they- reached -their- breakin g-point .html
The "160" in that article heading seems to be a counter, so the number may be bigger by the time you read it. Note the URL says "110" so 50 have been added since the article was first written!

If you want to go off at a tangent, this is on the same axis: https:/ /www.rt .com/vi ral/362 272-pod esta-em ails-al iens-va tican/
But really ... it's a pretty obvious tactic that, whenever Trump's fitness for office is raised, the response is "What about Clinton's fitness for office?" It's a fair point, but it's not THE point and suggests that Trump's fitness for office cannot be defended in and of itself.

Ellipsis....the Republican Party had every opportunity to drop Trump months ago, but decided to carry on arguing amongst themselves, in a vain hope he would go away.
So, to drop him with just 4 weeks to go, would show everybody that they made a mistake in the beginning....plainly speaking....that they cocked things up, big time.
Few of the big, main players in the Party now think that Trump will win, but it isn't just the President that Americans will be voting for on November 8th.....its a heap of other posts as well.

If they admitted to the electorate, that they have been so stupid as to allow such an unsuitable candidate to go forward as the Republican candidate, by withdrawing him, all the other Republicans in line to be voted for on the same day, would then be in danger of losing as well.
In other words, its damage limitation time for the Republicans. When Trump loses, they will, at least, have the structures in place to re-gather their forces, to fight again in 4 years time.
But I have to point out that the Republican Party seems to have lost its way over the last few years. They hoped to come back after their defeat in 2008, and 2012, but they seem to have learned nothing from past defeats.
In 2012, its was the "Magic Underpants" effect, and now its Trump-Gate.

Ellipsis ( continued )
To give an example of the support that Trump has now lost, in his own Party, you can find no better example that Senator John McCain, for the state of Arizona,
McCain is a recognised and respected war hero, and probably the highest profile Republican at Washington, But he recently said this ::::
"He stated that it was "impossible to continue to offer even conditional support" (to Trump) and added that he would not vote for Hillary Clinton, but would instead "write in the name of some good conservative Republican who is qualified to be president"
He is now struggling to hold on to his place in the Washington Senate, and sees Trump as poison. He refuses now to have anything to do with him.
Trump has made an enemy of McCain, a very stupid this to do.
