Serious question what happens? Is anyone familiar with the protocols or rules?

There is no dropping out at this stage.

I was wondering the same. Or not that I wish it, but if he had a stroke and/or died.

I have no idea.

I don't think his votes would automatically go to Heels Up.

I guess Trump would win by default. So I doubt he drops out.

If he died and gets the number of electorate votes he still wins.

There is no dropping out.

Depends if the state electors are allowed to vote for the VP nom...but I doubt it.

It could mean Trump just needs 270, Monroe ran unopposed

Nope. You are voting for electors of the president. If a state chooses the democrat electors they will vote for whichever Democrat is standing.

Well, he certainly locked up the NAMBLA vote after tonight.

There could be a situation where the House and Senate decide on P and VP if no majority. Iirc. The electors might not be able to cast their votes for a dead dude, but there is no way of really stopping things at this point.

There really is no withdrawing at this point, why?

If he dies before Congress can count votes than things could get messy.

Greatly underestimating the arrogance of the left and those that do their bidding. He isn’t dropping out. Hell he may get a few more donations and a couple riots out if this.
