With less than a month until Election Day, scores of GOP leaders have withdrawn support from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, in response to a recently surfaced video in which the candidate vulgarly describes his aggressive sexual advances on women.

Caitlin Huey-Burns, national political reporter with RealClearPolitics, discusses the plausibility of removing Trump from the ticket, and how this political fallout might affect down-ballot GOP candidates.
