Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

>Both Senate and House go Blue
>Trump and Pence get impeached
Either way Trump is only going to be a one term president.

If the senate and house go blue and Trump wins he will be impeached but he still wouldn't be a one term president.
They "let" themselves be smeared, so they can't point out the truth of democrats being racist? Weird logic...

Are the Trump supporters laying on their horn during Biden rallies basically just this, but in real life?

Did she actually walk off to that?

Not buying that excuse.
Obama gave a speech in the heart of Philly at night and probably only got 2-3x that amount of people with better conditions to draw more people. If Obama can't get Biden some enthusiasm, no one will.

90% sure it's just dems preparing a big team to dispute the results and claim fraud, pulling the same 180 they did pre-post election in 2016, but going hard at it and not conceding.
And then when describing it Biden fucked up the wording.
That's normal, Dem popular vote comes from giant spikes in a few giant blue cities. Dems still might lose the popular vote if those massive spikes are slightly less massive this time from Corona. Dems also stand to lose ~1 million votes nationally to incompetence with mail ballots.

Goldwater was from AZ and he was right about a lot of things.
Shame we never hear anyone refer to themselves as a "Goldwater Republican" these days.

Sad for Joe and Da Hoe, outstanding if you are Donald Trump.
Biden simply will not win.
Just take a look around. This is the time when Biden should be making every appearance possible, like Trump is doing now. Biden cannot do it. He tires very easily and isn't there mentally for more than a few minutes at a time. No excuse possible. A public, epic failure.
Look at appearances. Even supposedly "beloved" surrogates like Obama draw almost nobody. Seems like Biden staffers outnumber attendees at rallies. Biden "caravans" - three cars, sometimes some more. Trump "caravans" tend to be in the hundreds and thousands. Trump boat "caravans" are pretty well-attended, even in the SF Bay Area and SoCal. Had a ton of people in Newport Beach coming out for Trump a few days ago. Don't remember seeing anything like this in 2016. Sure don't remember seeing people/boats in CA anywhere coming out for Trump in 2016. Hillary drew pretty well in some places in 2016. Unless someone tells me differently, Biden hasn't filled any venue of any size, ever.
Added: I have been following elections since 1968 and have never seen a candidate for President act the way Biden has acted. ALWAYS saw both candidates busting their asses like there's no tomorrow down this home stretch. Don't even see surrogates going all-out to take Biden's place. They are going through the motions, looking forward to 2024. Will also say this much. Despite some Democratic wishful thinking, believe the election will be decided that night. Many who might have voted for Biden will be so turned off by what they've seen that they will either not vote for President, vote for Trump as the lesser of the two evils, or - why not? - write ME in! Only one L in Stalin, folks! Have also never seen a political party work so hard to fuck themselves this year as the Dems. I shit you not, they've just maxed out, between all the Democratic governors who've gone full-Nazi during this ChiCom Flu thing, and all the Democratic mayors, district attorneys and assorted scum during the riots. Hey, apparently the rioting has calmed down. Guess the Dems finally realized rioting and "protests" were counterproductive. Too late for that now. People's memories are short, but not THAT short.
My wag - Trump will do well. He may not win CA/NY but things may be much closer then the Dems would like. Dem governors have gone beyond full-Nazi in these states, and President Trump has only tried to help. Expect Trump to take MI. Whitmer's provided him a ton of votes. Just like in 2016, people will get into the voting booth or sit down with their ballot and vote for Trump while holding their noses. They realize Joe can't do it, and nobody wants Da Hoe near the White House.
Game over. Time to start thinking about Thanksgiving. Guess we'll have a turkey again this year. Dressing, cranberry sauce, rolls, green bean casserole, corn, mashed potatoes, gravy, sparkling cider to drink, cherry pie, cake.
Trump Won the Debate—But Won Bigly the Post-Debate
By Victor Davis Hanson October 23, 2020
There was a low bar for Joe Biden in the first debate, given his cognitive challenges. Because he exceeded that pessimism, he won momentum.
In opposite fashion, there was similarly an expectation that a disruptive Donald Trump would turn off the audience by the sort of interruptions and bullying that characterized the first debate
He did not do that. He instead let a cocky Biden sound off, and thus more or less tie himself into knots on a host of topics, but most critically on gas and oil. So likewise Trump will gain momentum by exceeding those prognoses.
But far more importantly, the back-and-forth repartee will not matter other than Trump went toe to toe, but in a tough, dignified manner and beat Biden on points. Biden did not go blank — although he seemed to come close, often especially in the last 20 minutes. Had the debate gone another 30 minutes, his occasional lapses could have become chronic.
What instead counts most are the days after. The debate take-aways, the news clips, the post facto fact checks, and the soundbites to be used in ads over the next ten days all favor Trump. In this regard, Biden did poorly and will suffer continual bleeding in the swing states.
We will know that because by the weekend Biden will be out of his basement and trying to reboot his campaign and actually be forced to campaign.
So we are going to hear over the next week that Biden simply denied the factual evidence of the Hunter Biden laptop computer, the emails, the cell phones, and the testimonies from some of the relevant players as a concocted smear, a Russian disinformation attack. That denial is clearly a lie. It is absolutely unsupportable. And Biden will have to drop that false claim.
Biden will suffer for unequivocally denying what is now a demonstrable fact: there is evidence that his family ran a systematic shake-down operation to peddle inside access and influence for millions of foreign dollars in profits. In the debate, Biden seemed bewildered why anyone could ever conclude the obvious.
Biden lied about his “super-predator” quote. Ditto his flat-out untruth about his opposition to the Trump travel ban and the border cages, and his denial of prior opposition to fracking.
Usually Trump is accused more of exaggerations and fabrications; in this debate Biden will be far more fact checked.
Again, Biden’s sloppy and confused talk on the Green New Deal will not play well in swing states like Pennsylvania and Ohio. Voters there know that his abstractions of “transitioning” out of fossil fuels or banning fracking but just on federal lands is a euphemism for renewing the Obama-Biden war on pipelines and gas and oil production. So Biden now has gone full-circle: last year bragging about banning fracking and ending fossil fuels, then in the general campaign denying that, and now reaffirming it.
Biden also hurt himself with his base, by blaming Obama for not getting more crime reform for drug sentencing while accusing Bernie Sanders of pushing a socialist health plan and suggesting his own opposition to it had boosted him over his leftwing rivals in the primaries (perhaps true, but not wise to ensure the base turns out).
Americans know by now that treatments are improving on COVID-19, that death rates are declining, and that it is true that about 99.8 percent of the infected under 65 will survive the virus. Trump did well in pointing all that out.
So gloomy scenarios of 200,000 more dead by New Year’s, or of more national lockdowns, and no vaccination until mid-year 2021 are both unlikely and too doom-and-gloom a scenario for most Americans.
Voters will more likely agree with Trump that they are going to get through and “live” with the virus rather than Biden’s pessimistic forecast of “dying” with it. Trump was right to say that the lockdowns are cumulatively likely to have killed or injured more than the virus itself.
Biden’s immigration meandering will turn off voters by his siding with those who illegally cross the border, are caught, and then released and do not show up for trial (he lied about this too in saying that they almost all show up for their hearings).
Trump, then, after four years in the White House, nonetheless successfully returned to his role as the outsider cleanser of Biden’s Augean insider stables. His theme was can-do Americanism, Biden’s was timidity and caution and worries that there is little hope anywhere to be found, an attitude consistent with his own hibernation.
Final thoughts on the debate: The moderator Kristen Welker was far better than the prior debate and town-hall moderators, in avoiding the scripted stuff like the Charlottesville distortions and ‘when did you stop beating your wife’ questions. That said, she interrupted Trump far more than she did Biden, and focused more on Biden-friendly questions.
But most importantly, Trump kept his cool, was deferential to Welker, and was tough but not cruel to Biden.
The final question is not whether Trump won and will be seen to have won bigly by next week, but to what degree Biden’s suicidal talk of ending fossil fuels and denial of the Hunter Biden evidence that cannot be denied implode his campaign early next week or not until Election Day.

Oh, no, this isn't a case of being on the plantation. This is a case of being a Super Simp.
How the hell are you going to be whipped by someone you're not even going out with-- scratch that, how the hell are you going to be whipped by someone you're not even going out with, and that person's Chelsea Handler?
I mean, scope this:
If the cooch is so good you're simping for someone you have no kind of relationship with, why are you not still together?
Everybody keeps talking about how Kamala is feisty, but I just don't see it. Maybe it's just the way you're clipping and framing it along with the camera angle, but she's pretty... low energy, or otherwise unimpressive.
