They will try to find someone else to nominate to take the VP spot (must be confirmed by Congress). And the Republican Party will fight about how to redeem their reputation (not redeem themselves - it's too late for that) and find someone else to run in November. Maybe Pence. Maybe Romney. Haley? Liz Chaney? Who knows.
