I'm more interested in the Republican Plan B when Trump is found ineligible to run.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This seems profoundly unlikely based on the SCOTUS reception to the idea.
I think our only solution to this Constitutional crisis is political or repaired by a sudden chance medical condition.
Odds are 50/50-ish on who has the medical issue though.
The article went into that as well. The Republicans will end up more committed to Trump, because their rules bind Trump's delegates to vote for him on the first ballot, no matter what. If he is still in the race, they will vote for him. And is there really any chance at all that he will withdraw, even if he gets convicted? Nothing short of death will keep him from becoming the Republican nominee.
Honestly then Democrats win, because Trump is running. Even if he's not eligible he will whine and moan and a considerable segment will write him in or protest or not vote in protest.
Oh, for fuck's sake...
Biden will be the nominee. Fucking get over it. The constant, desperate attempts to paint him as too old are getting downright gross. Yes, I wish we had a younger and better candidate, but it will be Biden, and nothing anyone says will change that.
Move on.
OP is absolutely desperate for it not to be Biden and I think they hope that if they post enough articles about how Biden is unfit for office, their wish will come true.
It won’t. The only way that Biden is not the nominee is if he bows out. I wish he would, but he’s not going to
I agree, but I also don't believe that if I post hard enough something will come true.
I'm resigned to the fact that because the Dems failed to produce enough actually electable candidates (or even one,)... we might wind up with a second term for Trump. its going to be too close to call.
