Who will be President in November?
Mar 13^th, 2020 at 12:45pm

That Trump will get coronavirus is a dead cert. He takes all the risks, is surrounded by people with the disease or second-hand contact. And while he will get first rate healthcare, there is still no cure and no treatment for it other than palliative care. Trump is in terrible health, grossly overweight with a terrible diet. So he has a 50/50 chance of succumbing to the disease.

So that brings in pence. But since he is equally likely to be infected his only saving grace is that he is younger and healthier, but still has a 20% chance of dying.

There is no time (or desire) to appoint a new VP and thus when Pence succumbs, nancy pelosi becomes President.

so you have to give a 10% chance to Pelosi being President by the time of the next election.

From The American Conservative

The Writing Is On The Wall For Trump

Quote:

Sadly, the president’s willingness to put his own short-term political prospects ahead of the public interest is not the least bit surprising.

Quote:

The president does not serve the public interest and he never intended to do that. He sees public office simply as an opportunity for his own enrichment and aggrandizement, so when the test came in the form of this outbreak he was bound to fail it because his priority has always been to serve himself. The writing has been on the wall for a long time, but many Americans didn’t want to see it.

Reply #4 - Mar 13^th, 2020 at 10:34pm The antics of Pelosi and Co. are the best guarantee of reelection that Trump could possibly have. The more they carry on with their vendetta the more voters will turn to Trump. The Democrats have learned nothing from the Clinton defeat.

What a silly post, the danger from this virus is blown out of proportion. People are already recovering, this isn't the Flu where thousands in this country die each year! If President Trump actually gets wuhan virus he will recover just like almost everyone else and it will be a non event. Those in poor health and people fighting over unneeded supplies are the ones in any danger!

It is the economic and civic impact that will affect the political landscape of America. Don't you get that? Trump does. Which is why he doesn't want people tested.

No, FOX News hasn't reported that, have they. Trump needs to keep the numbers low to keep his narrative that this is "just the flu" alive. But it is too late for that.

Now he is stalling an Intel report that details that his administration wasn't ready for a pandemic.

3.4% of people who get COVID19.... DIE. The expectation is that 50-70% of the population will end up infected. Do the math... that is MILLIONS of deaths.

Reply #11 - Mar 14^th, 2020 at 12:08pm Point seven percent (0.7) deaths outside of Wuhan China! 41 in America, all old or in poor health. The rest of us will be fine even if we catch it.

You seem to be missing the point.

If Trump dies from COVID-19, he can't be re-elected.

People over 70 and in poor health aren't recovering in large numbers.

They're exactly the people who are dying.

This could be Trump's last few weeks on Earth.

And I'm being completely serious about that.

He's not taking precautions, and he's just the sort of person who the virus is proving to be be fatal for.

I reckon Beavis & Butthead are going over the will with the little Jewish princess right this minute.
