It's too late at this point. I can't stand the guy, and will not vote for the guy, but he went through the process and won. Give the people what they want (even if what they want is terrible). I've posted this quote before and I'll post it again:
“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.”
With Trump or Clinton, they're going to get it good and hard.

it's not happening, it can't happen, it wouldn't be a good thing if it did happen, said in the most respectful way possible
it's actually more respectful to not respond
Don't be so sure, desperate righties, but if they're gonna do it, they'd better do it quick: the cut-offs for Texas and Florida-neither of which a Republican presidential candidate can afford to lose-happen by the beginning of September.
RNC weighs dumping Trump, who's now entirely at their mercy

It's hard to know whether Donald Trump is using the Republican National Committee more than the RNC is using Trump, but what is clear is that they are in a toxic co-dependent relationship that won't end well for either of them. Trump desperately needs the RNC for the infrastructure it's providing his nonexistent campaign in battleground states and elsewhere. But the RNC needs every penny it can squeeze from Trump in terms of fundraising, which he is finally doing. The only question is, who will pull the plug on the other first, and based on what RNC officials are saying behind closed doors—if not publicly—it's a good bet the RNC will sever ties first.

Since the Cleveland convention, top party officials have been quietly making the case to political journalists, donors and GOP operatives that the Republican National Committee has done more to help Trump than it did to support its 2012 nominee Mitt Romney, and that therefore Trump has only himself and his campaign to blame for his precipitous slide in the polls, according to people who have spoken with Republican leadership.

According to sources close to [Reince] Priebus, the chairman has warned that if Trump does not better heed this persistent advice to avoid dustups driven by his rhetoric, the RNC might not be able to help him as much — suggesting that money and ground resources might be diverted.
To this point, [RNC strategist Sean] Spicer has suggested a mid-October deadline for turning around the presidential campaign, suggesting last week to reporters and in separate discussions with GOP operatives that it would cause serious concern inside the RNC if Trump were to remain in a weakened position by then.
Sorry, but the idea that they can do anything to truly mitigate Trump's down-ticket damage starting as late as mid-October is laughable. Certainly they know that.
What's perhaps funniest about this is the fact that Trump—who's going to negotiate "the best" deals around the world as president—has left himself entirely at the mercy of the RNC because he was too lazy and undisciplined to develop his own ground game.
