First of all, I wish Donald and Melania Trump a full recovery and return to good health. Thoughts and prayers. We all should; it’s the civilized way. But the situation calls for some contingency thinking. Here’s what could happen:
God has urgent need of Trump upstairs that can’t wait two weeks.
We all know how angelic he is. So it’s possible God needs him right now, or within the next two weeks. (It’s customary to give a current employer two weeks notice when changing gigs.) In that case, Biden will debate President Pence on October 15 and 22, and the campaign could take an entirely new direction. It will be a divinely-inspired opportunity to talk about things that matter to Americans instead of personalities (actually, only one personality). And Harris will have an empty stage, her debating partner having been reassigned. Maybe she can read a children’s book or something for 90 minutes.
God needs Trump upstairs, but lets him give his present employer a full month’s notice.
The two remaining Biden-Trump debates are canceled, but Harris and Pence debate on October 7 as scheduled. Pence becomes President the day before the election. By then, approximately 40% of GOP voters have already voted for a dead candidate, and if Biden loses to an insentient blob of defunct protoplasm, Pence is re-elected Vice President. I haven’t figured out exactly how the rest of this works after noon of January 20, 2021. It sounds complicated.
God wants Pence upstairs, too.
In this scenario, President Pelosi runs things until President-Elect Biden assumes office at noon on January 20, 2021. The debates will be canceled because there won’t be anybody to debate. In fact, there won’t be anybody to run against because it’s now past the filing deadlines in all states, so the Republican Party won’t have any candidates in this election.
Trump shrugs off Covid-19 and returns to the White House in a few days.
Back to the same old shit. Biden has to run against a barely sentient blob of angrily throbbing protoplasm for another four weeks.
I pray for God to bless our country and get us through the worst administration in American history.
I pray that we get through this irresponsible leadership.
I hope Melania has a full recovery and good health.
Wear a mask, social distance. and wash your hands, especially when you come in from outdoors.
