Ah well that clears it up. He’s dead

That hasn't stopped Herman Cain from tweeting that coronavirus isn't a big deal.

He deserves to live to see electoral defeat. Well, we deserve to witness it at least.

Horace Greeley had a rough month, losing his wife, a Presidential election, and then dying himself.

Just to get an idea of who else might be exposed.

Oh good, SIX members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

At this rate, there will be one Republican on the committee who outvotes the 10 Democrats because of proxy votes but then they have to figure out what to do for the floor vote.

Herman Cain is still posting on Twitter how coronavirus isn't a big deal.

I have a gut feeling that his condition is going to worsen over the weekend.

I'm sure the writer's are going to have him on his deathbed before he makes a miraculous recovery in time for the third debate to reignite the horse race.

This is so obviously what's going to happen it's not even funny.

2020 jumped the shark long ago. Too unrealistic.

Words fail.

Herman Cain knows that getting coronavirus is no big deal.

EDIT: I just looked it up and Wilson had his stroke exactly 101 years ago yesterday. [Twilight Zone Theme]

Earlier that year he got Spanish flu.

I'm not predicting this will happen, but it wouldn't surprise me to see Trump's condition take a turn for the worse in a few weeks, he dies, and then Republicans, having ignored the tried and true strategy of banking as many votes as possible via VBM, lose up and down the ballot due to depressed turnout from the cultists on election day.

I don't want it to happen but imagine if Trump were to die within 48 hours of Election Day, leaving Trump voters completely deflated and very little to care in Mike Pence. In my mind, the absolute worst case scenario for the GOP.

If that happened, would there even be time enough for the RNC to name Pence as Trump's replacement on the ballot? Of course he'd be the odds-on favorite but Republicans would literally not know for whom they are voting for president.

The RNC chair would probably quickly announce that a majority of the RNC members had agreed that Pence be the nominee, and perhaps they'd announce a running mate at the same time.

Just for fun.

Hannity: "Did you test negative?"
Trump: "I have had many negative tests."
Hannity: "Was one of those today?"
Trump: "I have a test I'm waiting on"
Hannity: "Were you tested earlier today?"
Trump: "I plead the 5th."
Hannity: "Umm. Well, speaking of that, I hear Pelosi wants you to plead the 25th."
*Trump breaths a sigh of relief*
Trump: "Yeah, Pelosi is so worried about November, she wants to defeat me now."
