    That's interesting can you provide more info?

    I've known a few people how have caught it and I haven't heard of that treatment but none of them are the President.

    The thing about yes men is their true loyalties lie to power, not individuals. They will fall in line knowing that if they don't, they are replaceable.

    It would be extremely difficult for the states to bypass their own popular votes for the reasons I stated above. This could only happen for states with a Republican governor AND state legislature. Keep in mind also that it's very late in the game and even changing the state law in time to bypass the popular vote in the state is not an easy thing to do.

    Good for Donald. Serum will reduce his symptoms by like a day or two. I can’t remember if it reduces mortality or not, though.

    ehhh, don’t like this take. Plenty of liberals have had the virus, and democrat-donor celebrities. Virus doesn’t care. But yes, fewer mask-wearing pols will probably get it than maskless pols.

    Shouldn't they blame Chi-Naa for it? Trump tweeted that he got the virus. We go to war with China? That ought to unite us...

    This speculation seems so far fetched. Let's see people on the right start talking about it before speculating

    Edit: speak of the devil, NewRoxFan/B-Bob just posted such take by a conservative podcast host...

    if this is true, (and god only knows with this WH), about 5 - 7 days from now will be key. He’ll be easily on the mend or starting the bad part. I hope it’s the former. I really want him to face the American voters response to his tenure.

    Why are Republican moneybags who were exposed to Trump panicking and asking the political party for health advice?

    Not unless they are interested in asserting their own power. This wouldn't be a situation where they become president but where different groups jockey for power. According to Woodward's books this was something that happened quite a bit in the early days of Trump's administration as different clicques such as Kushner's and Tillerson's didn't work together and undermined each other.
    I agree it would be difficult and am not saying any of this is a certainty just speculating on possible things that could happen.

    Could be like when Stalin died (on a much lesser scale). Watched the Death of Stalin recently...while not completely accurate, it was quite darkly humorous to watch them bungle their way to power.

    Kelly Loeffler has already blamed the PRC for Trump getting sick.

    not impossible. Usually major donors are older.
