    Just heard this on the news. Wonder how this will effect...well everything.

    Given President Trumps advanced age, obesity, and generally apparent less than stellar health this has to be a significant concern.

    It could put much more focus on VP Pence.

    Good. The President can prove on national stage that the virus is no big deal.

    Am I the only one who see the poetic justice in this?

    Trump spends months downplaying the virus, going as far as claiming that it could be a hoax by the democrats and the "deep state" to cost him the election. He refused for months to wear masks, praised businsses who refused to follow social distancing guidelines, and other things which did A LOT of harm to the CDC and Department of Health's work, and now he has the virus.

    Trump's health is a real concern here. He isn't the healthiest person on earth. Even with access to top medical tech and treatment he gets as President, he is a very high risk for complications

    In this forum, I enjoy ridiculing the below average intelligent people.

    Let’s start with this guy;

    Trump; “I’ve been taking the anti-malaria Hydroxychloroquine over a week to PREVENT Covid19 infection”

    That behavior leading to more cases of COVID, more deaths, and more damage to the economy. The latter being the only thing he gives a damn about.

    Agreed. I saw an item this morning that suggested because Trump's quarantined, Pence would have to stay closer to Washington and not spend much campaign time subbing for DJT.

    One might think that's a drawback until you realize that still means Pence will show more life than Biden.

    Does Pence become the default nominee if thoughts and prayers fall on deaf ears?

    Pence would become the current president if Trump dies in office, so that would be my guess.

    SCOTUS wouldn’t need to weigh in. Pence would be the incumbent. Votes for Trump would just go on to him.

    Effectively yes as it is already too late to make any ballot changes.

    In office, of course. I took the question literally, if the vacancy occurred before the election.

    Libs would file multiple blizzards of lawsuits if Trump did die, anyway, and I believe the whole thing would get expedited to the Supremes. Meanwhile, if Pelosi as Speaker takes the reins, does she have the power to make a recess appointment to the Supremes?

    Take nothing for granted when critics have lost so often to Donald J. Trump.

    I don’t think any of those lawsuits would hold up. When people vote on a president they also vote on the VP. Stands to reason a vote for Trump is also a vote for Pence.

    How much do you want to put on the bet he will consider golfing to be part of quarantine

    He would be right if he doesn't play thru.

    According to Sonjay Gupta, the CNN resident doctor, in spite of his weight and age, the odds are that he will make a full recovery.

    Probably?

    But even if he doesn't die from it...his health could be severely impacted

    And then things went all 2020.

    This nightmarish year brings so many evil twists and turns that I am profoundly, sincerely sorry but I can not believe the left would restrain themselves under that situation. The Constitution means nothing to the Dems in the House, or to John Roberts for that matter on the Supremes. Color me very darkly suspicious. Some weird ballot thing. Ballot tampering. The actual Electoral College voters suddenly dying off in noticeable numbers. Any damn thing.

    Game Day is coming. Sharpen the axes and halberds. The most important vote of this century is ahead.
