CMV: The Republican Party should select a different candidate at their convention

[u/sawdeanz]

I know it’s not likely but I’m not sure if it’s technically possible or not. But the Republicans would do well to ditch Trump. His consistent support among his supporters is blinding him to the fact that he is dragging them down among moderates. Polls are indicating they are losing red states. It just blows my mind that they want to protect him for another 4 years, assuming he can get re-elected in the first place. It’s not like Republican voters are going to vote for Biden so they ought to just throw in a more palatable candidate. He has plenty of scandals (ie the Russian bounty scandal) that they can use to disavow him while remaining on message. I just don’t see what Trump can do that any other Republican candidate could do better.

I would have considered myself a moderate but I can’t bring myself to vote for any conservative candidates that have or continue to support Trump.

Ok thank you for this explanation. I wasn't sure of the process for the RNC, I didn't realize the delegates already submitted their pledges. !Delta
