I'm a lifelong progressive liberal Democrat. I don't want a Republican president. And when your enemy is in the midst of committing political suicide, let him be.
But...
The Republicans have a way. Trump will not win, he cannot win. Faux News loudmouths and crackpot message board posters aside, the genuine, experienced, rich and powerful brain trust of their party knows this. They have been appalled, embarrassed and ashamed from the beginning of this fiasco, even more so today.
They know that Trump doesn't give a crap about this country, he only cares about himself and his "brand". He's gotten a billion dollars worth of free publicity for both. Unfortunately, even when he loses he'll continue to get more for many years to come.
The Republican power-elite should convince him (using very small words and perhaps cartoons) to have a press conference. He would announce that he's dropping out. First, he could say it's for health reasons, though his sick narcissistic vanity would have difficulties with this. Second, it's for the sake of of his family, they're getting stressed-out or some such nonsense. Third,(and this is their best shot), he says he realizes that Hillary's horrible lies and treacherous vote-rigging have made it impossible for him to win in a fair election. For the sake of America (the idiot would love saying that!) he's dropping out.
And in his place...Mike Pence.
Pence just maybe, maybe, might have a chance. Certainly better than this stupid, ignorant, racist and sexist, half-insane monster.
