To be fair, don't you want to not publicly say the president is in any sort of danger? Lest putin et al get ballsy and try to do something.

Mustang posted:Pence doesn't do anything, most Americans know nothing about him. I have a hard time understanding how he would beat Biden, a guy that Americans have seen in national politics for decades. All the "Never Trump" Republicans that Biden has focused on attracting will suddenly have no reason to vote for the baby killing, flag hating socialist. Biden's campaign has been completely focused on showing how bad Trump is rather than how good Biden could be, and if Trump is out of the picture then that strategy completely falls apart. A lot of the reasons people hate Trump (he's stupid, he's rude) simply do not exist in Pence. He's the polite, competent fascist.

Nope, you tell 100% of the truth, then say that VP Pence is on standby if anything goes wrong, and the Speaker of the House is on standby too. You tell everyone the complete truth and you demonstrate a plan that hits all of the worst-cases. Presidents have gone under anesthesia for colonoscopies before and it's been literally no big deal because of proper 25th Amendment delegations of authority. Instead, it's an information vacuum and everyone's running around blind. It's the same invitation for people to get ballsy.

But...I too am a bearded goon. Gonna be a lotta bearded and flannel wearing goons potentially celebrating in DC I guess! I am not remotely worried about Pence if Trump dies and suddenly he is the nominee for one simple reason, he was/is (can't even remember if they disbanded or not) head of the COVID response task force...which would have been presumably responsible for not only 200K dead but Trump dying or becoming incapacitated. It's not a great pitch. Also he has the charisma of a dead skunk on the side of the road for most people, no way he gets the cult of personality Trump enjoys.

I know the capacity for Democrats to gently caress things up is nearly infinite, but at this point the polls are so dire it's looking like a Walter Mondale level blowout. If it's Pence vs Biden the last bit of personality cult is gone and it's an even bigger blowout. I don't know who the GOP turns to after this, but it sure isn't Pence. Maybe Kimberly Guilfoyle?

Pence has been a bit of an Indiana laughing stock ever since he said Iraq reminded him of an Indiana open-air market. And then Rob Riggle interviewed Hoosier soldiers in Iraq for comment.

Not many, but turnout matters and discouraged voters not being discouraged by their candidate any more may count for a lot. Obviously I have no numbers and nobody does, but I think it's not a concern that can be dismissed.

Sympathy votes only make sense if Trump catching COVID was a tragic event despite taking all proper precautions. The only people who say they would vote for him out of sympathy were likely gonna vote for him already, they just found a convenient excuse. It'd be like a candidate getting injured in a horrific car crash. Sure that'd generate some sympathy but I'm pretty sure that'd evaporate pretty fast if it came out the cause of the crash was due to the candidate driving while drunk. Pryor on Fire posted:The good, scientific polls gave Trump a 1/3 chance of winning 2016. He had nothing close to that in 2020 even before the debate. The notion that the polls were way off in 2016 is just a myth. Yeah, in retrospect it was pretty loving clear the polling was continuously tight between Clinton and Trump with Clinton only narrowly beating him within the MOE in some battleground polls. I think many, including myself, just figured there was no loving way he'd win but when Silver said something to the effect that he had the same chance of winning as a NFL kicker does of making a 40+ yard field goal, that's when I started getting nervous about poo poo. The fact that he only won by getting ~80K votes in the right states shows he's not this unbeatable force. Sure he could still win, but 2020 is a very very different election and Biden's lead in the polls and everything else has been consistent since June. If anything, the gap has grown wider not narrower. Handsome Ralph fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Oct 3, 2020 |

There's been a serious shift going on lately, with a bit more than just anecdotal information behind it: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/10/02/trump-suburbs-white-women-michigan-423870 Tl;dr on that one is that Slotkin won a Trump +7 district, recently sent a poll into the field in the midst of the protests/riots, expected a tie race, and instead found out she's leading by more than she ever has. Here's a view of the county (Hillary +9) from both D/R polling firms: https://twitter.com/ChadLivengood/status/1312090377588006919?s=19 So, Never Trump Republicans don't really exist. Trump-Biden Republicans appear to exist in large numbers.
