Trump Breaks Down Onstage
www.theatlantic.com
At a campaign event last night, Trump got bored—and weirdness ensued.

The election is in three weeks, and Pennsylvania is a must-win state for both Trump and Kamala Harris, but during a rally last night in Montgomery County, northwest of Philadelphia, Trump got bored with the event, billed as a “town hall,” and just played music for almost 40 minutes, scowling, smirking, and swaying onstage. Trump is no stranger to surreal moments, yet this was one of the oddest of his political career.

This kind of behavior would have resulted in discussion of dementia and Alzheimers if it was a Democrat.

    Yes. You have to remember you aren’t electing Trump directly. You’re voting for his electors.

    If Trump dies before taking office, the party decides who will take his place.

    It’s most likely going to be Vance, but honestly it could be anyone.

    Assuming that there isn’t any fuckery (it’s Republicans after all), then Vance becomes President and then nominates a VP that goes through the Senate approval process.

    I can’t remember the last time this was discussed but it was a while ago.

      I agree, but that wasnt my question. Well, i guess it was accidentally vague. I can see how you misunderstood my prompt.

      My question is in regards to what direction the voting public trend if that happens. Martyr boost propelling vance up, or fizzle bust?

        Fizzle bust. Vance has a fraction of the charisma and no cult of personality. As for martyrs…

        “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.”

        Hard to say. When he finally dies or is just off the Republican ticket one way or another, we’ll find out how much of the Republican voting base is attached to Trump, not the GOP.
