The Republican National Committee is categorically denying reports that party officials are looking into how to replace Donald Trump in case he drops out of the presidential race before Election Day.
No one at national party headquarters has been instructed to look into that doomsday scenario, RNC strategist Sean Spicer said, and speculation that the RNC might pressure Trump to drop out of the race is unfounded.
Spicer insisted that there is no chance that anyone else will be the ballot in November.
“Donald Trump is the nominee of the Republican Party full-stop,” Spicer told The Hill. “That’s the reality. The rest is just a media-pundit concoction.”
The Trump campaign is also dismissing reports of turmoil in the campaign and the Republican Party as a media creation.
Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort noted in a Fox News interview that Team Trump raised $80 million in July, its best haul yet, and said that the campaign is furiously expanding in key battleground states.
He shot down a report that RNC Chairman Reince Priebus and other Trump allies were planning an “intervention” for the candidate to get him back on track.
“The only need we have for an intervention is maybe with some media types who keep saying things that aren’t true,” Manafort said.

it's just a joke anyway, they'd replace Trump with an equally sucky candidate from their roster of RINOs. https://t.co/vCnEvhDHFx

The party is headed for the cliff and it can do nothing to stop it.
