It wasn't outright racism or tax troubles that finally caused Donald Trump's campaign to implode. Instead, it was a hot mic video, revealed by the Washington Post, which exposed the Republican presidential candidate talking crudely about sexual assault in 2005.

Since the video emerged Friday, rumors have been flying about whether the GOP would dump Trump from the ticket. As Mashable has reported, it's a near legal impossibility, but if they do manage to kick him to the curb, the internet has helpfully provided some suggestions about who and what could take up the mantle.

#MoreElectableThanTrump began trending Saturday. Almost any of these things could make some pretty decent policy decisions by comparison, probably.
