    I see the logic, but honestly, I’m not sure I’m in complete agreement.

    I do agree that Trump is maybe the weakest candidate that Republicans could be running. However, they’ve got a cult of personality built around the guy, and I swear to fucking god, people will be writing this fuckers name in until the day they die. Dropping Trump as candidate would shatter the Republican party in a way that just doesn’t happen to the Democrats, principally, because the D’s aren’t engaged in a cult of personality around the guy.

    If Biden steps down, whoever gets the nod, they win. If Trump steps down, well the R’s fracture and thats that. Trump could be 6 feet under and his loony bin will still give him 5% of the vote.
