Not to be morbid...

[BedellBrave]

I'm called to pray for leaders and I do so (though not enough or fervently enough) for President Trump. And I'll be doing more so now.

That said, what if he dies say, in the next few weeks? What happens? Pence assumes office. But who assumes the nomination? Who does Biden face in the election? The election doesn't get delayed does it?

The RNC has a lot of say. They can substitute a candidate.

[Metaphysicist]

They can substitute a candidate, but... lots of people have already voted on ballots with the current folks. Technically, those votes are only for the "electors" who could theoretically shift to pence, but there has been a real push to reign in the power of electors to go "faithless" and vote for someone other than who they were put on the ballot to support. I would predict chaos, definitely a trip to the courts, and maybe ultimately ending up in the house (a long shot probably)? But who knows.

Would that information change what you pray for? Not being morbid....

Don't put temptation before me! :-)

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1 Timothy 2:1-4

I'm comfortable assuming Trump was on his way to a relatively easy reelection before covid... so in a way your prayers were answered

you might want to review the pre-covid polling against Biden

i know data are not your thing, especially when not convenient to your world view

Haha.

I realize you spend every morning jerking off to polls and scandal stories... but i pay much closer attention to betting markets, which had Trump comfortably ahead til around May.

As I have said from the getgo, you are desperate for as much covid pain as possible because it helps defeat the Orange Man.

Not to be morbid, but its kinda ****ed up

Oh I'm a little more cranky than usual. Has anyone noticed? How are you doing?

I feel almost guilty for saying it, but the past 6 months have been wonderful for us. I see my family for hours more per day than I did before, I get more sleep than I have in a decade, and everyone is healthy.

[cajunrevenge]

Pence would be the President on the Trump ticket. He would probably rush through a VP in the Senate. My guess being Pompeo.

no doubt

lockdown time was so much better than the normal day to day activity imo too

[cajunrevenge]

Worst case scenario I dont know if Pence is up to the task of binge watching Fox News and golfing 5 times a week at Trumps golf clubs.

Me too.

at the risk of being accused of bad taste this is one of my favorite movies....and the word morbid DOES appear in the title of this thread...i just wish the movie focused a bit more on how he soiled himself after his stroke and no one bothered to clean him up

whatever happens the next few weeks when we look back on the very poorly chosen era with the perspective of say 20 years, the preferred lens is going to be that of dark comedy
