Since each party writes its own operating structure possibly they could have a quick second nominating convention, but I wonder if they would have missed all the official deadlines. In which case they would probably put Vance up. But if they have any smarts at all they have somebody else waiting but that's not to say it would be anybody smart. But with Trump out of the way they might for instance put up Nikki Haley which would make a lot of

problems because of Vance's sexism. "Oh what a web we weave when first we practice to deceive"...

They will dress his corpse up and parade it around, maybe with a recording of one of his tirades.

While his enemies flee in terror, and his beautiful wife watches, sloe-eyed and expressionless, from a distant high window, one hand on her son's shoulder. Ssh, too much.

You thought it was a joke, and so you laughed, you laughed when I had said that losing votes would make me flip my lid.

Being called тАЬsirтАЭ is no big deal. You just have to be a male over 75.
