    I dont think he makes it through the primaries, but because they’re actually having them, they’ll have a candidate. He’s gone from ‘kinda’ incoherent, to like, ‘wow’ incoherent in 6 weeks.

    Not sure Biden makes it through either, but Democrats arent’ really having a primary. Not sure what happens if he, you know, 🪣 🛴

      There is no chance he loses the primary anywhere he is on the ballot. The only way I can imagine he isn’t the Republican candidate is if enough R party officials choose country over party.

      So, it’s been nice chatting with everyone on here.

      Bucket razor scooter? Bin rides? Hits the bucket?

        Bucket razor scooter

        I woke up to see this and I’m dying.

        I meant ‘kick the bucket’, but the first emoji that comes up for kick is a ‘kick scooter’

      Modern medicine the way it is, I don’t think either will bucket scooter off to death. And Trump probably can run from jail. That said, I do wonder what the contingency plan would be if either of both died before the general election. Has that ever historically happened?

        I mean having a primary where you have meaningful debates and multiple candidates would be the contingency plan.

          Even if the general were like, a week after they both died in a freakish accident? I guess they can always post pone the general though. I’m not sure who would have to make the call or if there are rules in place for DNC or GOP

            I mean, these fuckers are old.

            Like way fucking old.

            There is a significant non-zero probability that any given week of theirs, is there last week.

            I mean how many years do we think either of these two has left?

            2? 3? and it doesn’t have to be 🛴🪣 , just total mental or physical degradation.

            So what they’ve got maybe 100, 200 weeks ahead of them max? Assuming a uniform probability distribution, that’s a charitable 0.25% per week (and I do not believe its a uniform distribution), 40 weeks till the election, call it a %0.25 for either of them individually to kick the bucket: I get 18.14% probability that either one of the two 🛴🪣 in the next 40 weeks. Like its not crazy, they are old af.

            I’m sure a student of geriatrics could get us some more informed priors, but I bet thats in the ball park.
