The obvious Trump problem

 

Recently I talked about Trump might be on a collision course with himself and that problem is very real.

Yet there is the Trump problem the Republicans have no answer. Trump is old. And even though some doctors have come out publicly saying he is in good health. Visually hard to say. He is 78, appears overweight and you have to wonder does he have high blood pressure since he is always upset at something.

Joe Biden’s debate showing helped the Democrats solve their old guy problem in time. They were able to move Harris up before the actual nominating convention. So no matter what Trump says about a coup removing Biden, they are good to go with Harris since there was time before the convention for a case to be made by someone else. The Democrats fell in line timely and so Harris can move forward with confidence.

Yet what happens if Trump cannot move forward? Let’s say he has a stroke. He is still alive, yet how is his capacity? What happens if he passes away? Can the Republicans replace him at this point? There is one argument they cannot. And if they do replace him, is it Vance? Must it be Vance? And if not Vance, who then?

What happens if he collides with himself and becomes a complete mockery of himself or says something that even the MAGA world cannot accept?

The Republicans are so far down the path with Trump, what would they do if Trump couldn’t continue. I don’t think they know. And the irony is all the things Trump saying the Democrats shouldn’t be able to change their ticket and it is a “coup” or whatever, what would Trump say if the Republicans feel forced to remove him from the ticket. The madness that would erupt from Trump being removed no matter how obvious he needs to be is humorous and yet very scary.
