About Trump dropping out ...

If Trump dropped out (by himself) by September 1st, there might still a small chance that any other candidate could be on enough ballots for states to be able to make 270 electoral college votes. But after September 1, no chance. I heard this on Rachel Maddow yesterday. So I don't think they'l be able to switch candidates, have the new candidate on ballots etc.

no indication he will drop out.
Maybe they'll try to convince him to drop out but telling him what to do hasn't worked so far so I don't see why it would now.
