How will GOP leadership respond to what this means for the election? What's next?

[Amaryllis]

Will they try to claim a vote for Trump is a vote for Pence if Trump is too sick or doesn't make it, even though we know that is untrue? they don't care about truth. And what if he has it also? There is nothing in the Constitution for this scenario in terms of what it means for the election, although that means nothing to GOP. Chain of succession is outlined, but not what happens when it's in the middle of an election. And quite a few have already voted.

1. Trumpers have little love for pence, Trump is their vile want.

2. The legal precedent has mostly been that you vote for the person, not the party

Who knows in this case though.

3. Reviewing civics 101 answers most issues, the election continuation

Is not impacted by a death of any candidate. As for a GOP leadership is still in shock from trumps debate debacle.

4. I think trump dying or staying extremely sick will impact down ballots

I think some of his supporters will just stay home and not vote and in almost every case that will mean the R senator or representative will lose a vote. They’ve tied themselves wholly to tRump and it will cost them. Too bad.
