Another possibility is emerging; that the RNC will dump Trump by early September. I suppose Pence or Cruz would be tapped to run in his place. Equally dangerous, and they might do a little better against Hillary. (Not astrologically though)
Actually, from my info the RNC can't dump him; Trump would have to give up. He's not ready to do that, for sure.
The thing about forcing him to resign or impeaching him after he's elected, though, is that he would actually have to commit a high crime or misdemeanor. Lack of decency does not qualify. That's a high bar to cross, especially since the GOP would look the other way at something like torture, or not supporting allies if attacked, or even at financial misdeeds, since the Republicans represent the class that commits them on a regular basis with impunity. Not that the Democrats have been willing to indict these criminals either, in fact.
