President Trump

[Byron]

We'll see this in spades from the left. In massive spades.

If he were to be assassinated, they'd cheer and hold parades in the streets. The progressive media would praise it as a tyrant being taken down.

I think we're going to see a whole lot of ugliness from them. Can you imagine what kind of angles they're dreaming up right now? Trump isn't going to lose anyone that favors him because of this...and those that hate him get to chew on a nice, big chunk of it. I wonder how it tastes?

True class.

Devil's advocate time...

Trump perishes from complications of Covid, Pence is acting president. So would Pence be the presumptive presidential nominee going into November 3 or what?

[Scott Card]

I really hope the President and First Lady have mild symptoms and recover quickly. The virus is a mean, nasty beast. I know.

The Repub party would have to name a new nominee. Pence of course. He'd probably name a VP pick. Of course no new ballots can be printed at such a late date, so Trump remains printed.

Talk about upsetting the race. What is the mortality for Trump's age range, 10%? It needs to be discussed.

^ This also brings up the question of the post-Trump Repub party, whether now or 2024.

I don't think it's rocket science to say a return to the corporate Repubs of amnesty, trade deals, playing nice with Dems, and neocon wars would drive a lot of us away. Bill Kristol, Romney, Paul Ryan.

Rick DeSantis or bust.

Report: Trump going to military hospital for a 'few days' after testing positive for COVID-19



This is not minor symptoms. Day one and two aren’t horrible. Day three??? That seems to be when you know you are in trouble or not. I hope they nip this in the bud for the Pres. and the First Lady.

^^^Another Trump smear article.

No, I think it actually means nothing. Not pro Trumping here. But with endless medical at his disposal and a full presidential office suite there, it makes no sense to not. He can be monitored by the minute and treated in 3 if something turns.

Strategy.
Media control.

Oh, he'll be fine. He'll rest up and then be ready for the next debate.

Alternatively...wouldn't it be something if he died? The friggin' Chinese would have (in a round about way) assassinated his ass and if Biden wins, they'll get away with it. The media would declare that the whole Trump thing was an insignificant anomaly. What a crazy twist that would be, huh? With the way things have gone this year...

Of course the Trumpers would rally around Pence...so if Trump is brought to his knees it'll be nice to see Pence put in a real good showing against Harris. He'll have to look a bit tougher than he may have planned.

Whataya think Doug? How's that for a 2X4 upside the head of conservative values, eh?

this falls in line with what I was going to make with a prediction, that Trump will be injected with Hydro, Az, and zinc like their candy for the next 2 weeks, Wild all of the news is on him. After that, he’ll emerge, Guns a blazing, and hit the campaign trail at full speed.

At the same time, you thought Scaredy Cat Joe rarely emerged from his basement before.... now they’ll lock him down in a fall or shelter until the election is over, hoping he wins, and then only bring him out briefly at Inauguration Day.

Agree with it all. The VP debate takes on much added importance. If he can make Kamala out to be the leftist ass she is, that'll be important. He's got to ditch the endless nice and be tougher, yes.

He was a talk radio host for years, so he'll be solid at least. She, on the other hand, can't think on her feet. She's good at preplanned lines and that's it.
