Holy cow do you think he’ll resign?

[Ferguson97]

Get Biden into a bubble NOW

[Ferguson97]

Welp...Biden is going to lose now.

Lol how

[Ferguson97]

Not a peep from blue avatars lol

If Trump dies, what are the chances that a sizable portion of his base writes in Trump instead of voting for Pence because they think that his death is a deep state hoax and he was actually betrayed by Mike Pence, a secret deep state agent, and thrown into a secret, max-security prison

Not many at all.

Trump dying/resigning/dropping out would be terrible news for Democrats. Pence is MUCH more tolerable to moderates simply because he is not Trump.

I think Biden would still beat him because of partisanship and because people have already started voting, but Pence would perform much better than Trump.

Of course, if Trump stays in the race then Biden wins in a landslide.

ACB doesn't have it:

On a similar note, the tracing process is pretty fascinating.  

My roommate was contacted by a tracer after unknowingly travelling through PA, OH, MI, IN, IL, WI, MN, ND, and part of MT while infected.  They basically reviewed all of the stops she made along the way (convenience stores/gas stations, supermarkets, the hotel she stayed at, etc.) and got in touch with employees who may have been exposed.  

How'd they do that, cell tower data?

Death is not the most likely outcome, but it is far from unlikely. Based on age and sex alone, Trump is at high or very high risk for severe disease. Eight percent of COVID-19 patients ages 65 to 74 die from the disease. Those 75 to 84 are at far higher risk: 18 percent die. And men are significantly more likely to die of COVID-19 than women. Obesity is also predictive of a severe course. Compared with people in the ‘normal’ BMI range, obese patients are 74 percent more likely to be admitted to an ICU and 48 percent more likely to die.

The president’s doctors have assured the nation during his time in office that he is in good health and does not have chronic medical conditions. But we know that Trump’s lifestyle does not portend an optimized immune system. His sleep schedule is erratic, he does not exercise, and he subsists on fast food and declines vegetables. He is prone to angry outbursts. These lifestyle factors, taken together, are suggestive of impaired resiliency, and could leave him more susceptible to being laid low by the virus.

Death is inevitable.

TRUMP WASN'T TESTED BEFORE THE DEBATE!!!

But muh sympathy bump

[Ferguson97]

If she becomes president after November 3 and Biden has won, would she appoint him VP and resign so he can get an early start?

The Senate (and House) would have to go along with that.

They can do that on January 3rd

This is the happiest I've felt in quite a while. They're all finally getting their due after getting away with so much sh!t for so long.

So your happy that everyone has life threatening illnesses.  Your a disgusting POS.

They’re the ones who are causing the virus to spread through malice and incompetence

They know the danger but refuse to act. They’ve killed people.

[Ferguson97]

I’m glad to see y’all care about correcting my spelling more than human lives.  Always been a classy bunch here.

Your and you’re are commonly mixed up. Just trying to help.  

Haha thanks.  I’m on my phone typing very fast so I’m not exactly focused on my grammar/spelling.

Notice how you haven’t responded to the points that it’s their fault the virus got so bad?

“Trump is incapacitated and republicans lose their senate majority because they all went to a maskless high-five party to celebrate ramming an October SCOTUS nominee into RBG’s seat” sounds like Democratic fanfiction lmao

Another name to add to my daily prayers list, I suppose. 

The idea of you begrudgingly praying for people is pretty funny lol

Law and order. If this investigation finds that Trump or anyone else broke the law, they should be prosecuted.
