Magda, got some info on the protocol for candidates who bow out after the conventions.
It's become an issue as Trump's melt-down accelerates (insulting mothers of the fallen, awarding himself a purple heart, backing Roger Ailes' sexual harassment, etc., etc., etc, ad infinitum) and lots of Goopers are on the verge of demanding he withdraw.
The new nominee would be picked by the 168-member board of the Republican National Committee.

I assume the Dems would handle it the same way, putting the issue to the DNC (now in the early stage of fumigation!)
Here's the latest hot mess.
