Is it a saner version of CT topics?

I think it is possible the some in the GOP will want to put forth an alternative to Trump, but I’m not sure there are enough with the backbone and influence to pull it off.

I think it will depend on the death rate over the next 30-60 days, and the resulting polls.

Romney, Kasich, Haley, or even Pence are all candidates. If it gets bad enough, they may try forcing Trump to resign via the 25th, but I think it’s all a long shot. I think they would only go that route if they were essentially giving up on the WH, and just trying to keep the senate.
