Apparently Hope Hicks has tested positive for Covid and is showing symptoms. She was with tRump during the debate, on AF1 and a MN rally.
What would happen to the GOP nomination if tRump got sick and died? Does Pence automatically move into this position?

What would happen with all the early votes for Trump if he died before election day?

Ever since the pandemic started, I have seen people stating they wish Trump would get it and die.
1) If Trump dies, some conspiracy nut will say Hillary Clinton had him killed. This will spread like wildfire through his more shitbrained supporters, who will be saying she did it because he was The. Best. President. Ever.
2) I don't want Pence to become President. He apparently was an effective enough politician to get elected governor, so he might actually be able to accomplish things without resorting to executive orders; and he seems to want women to go back to their rightful place as housewives. 3) I want to read Trump's unhinged tweets every President's Day, when historians rank the presidents and list him as The. Worst. President. Ever.

No one has voted for Trump. Nor Biden. They have voted for a slate of people running for the Electoral College.

Regarding the highlighted: Pence approval rating in Indiana as governor May, 2016. He was not a popular governor. "Pence’s job approval rating is underwater at 40 percent, according to a May poll, and even among Republicans only six-in-10 supported his re-election." Trump flirts with unpopular Pence

Idiots! The way things are going, Air Force I is going to be a hot zone. So, what should the cities say to Trump for his visits, thanks for sharing?

Nobody is getting hurt. Isn't that, or something along those lines, what trump said a couple of days ago? Personally I hope his whole friggin clan gets it, none of them dies, and all of them become long timers - after he gets his ass whooped in November

Well, let me say I don’t want anyone to die from Covid.
But given how much shit Trump has said about Biden being frail, it would be deeply ironic if he got sick and wasn’t able to campaign these last few weeks.

Theory out there:
This is fake news planted to get people to stop talking about what a shit show Trump was at the debate.

Trump just tweeted that both he & the First Nude Model have tested POSITIVE for Covid 19.
32 days until election day.

They have yet to stay anything about today's schedule or anything else being canceled. Let's see if he actually stays quarantined for two weeks - ie half the days up to election.
Hope Biden didn't get it from him.

At keast the people of Wisconsin have to worry about him causing a nasty outbreak. Listening to it now they also said that he attended an indoor fundraiser today. Party gifts for his donors?

The White House should have quit testing, then no one would have it right now.

Brian Williams is on TV and he says he thinks there won't be any more debates.
News release says they have to symptoms currently.
Snort had to fix his last name. News anchor not beach boy
Still on the second cut in. They have an er doctor ripping into him for going to a fundraiser today if they knew hicks was positive.

explain that post to me, just. i am only understanding about ten words of it. I originally wrote Brian Wilson, not Williams. Who is in the Beach Boys. So a goof on my part. Williams and the ER doctor nbc brought into their news cast are both saying trump testing positive should be the end of the in person debates. There was a press release from trump's doctor (the military one) saying that trump and the wife are currently asymptomatic. The ER doctor went on a rant about trump going to some fundraiser today when they likely already knew hicks was positive and why did he do that and that full contact tracing needs to be done. That make better sense? I was adding to my post as they talked so a bit disjointed.

They have had to be around a bunch of people. I’m sure there are backups but think of all the secret service, military leaders, White House staff, and others this could have spread to.
He was just several feet from Biden shouting and ranting the other night, droplets sure may have made their way over.
Covid was no picnic for me, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

I gotta say, these news people work crazy fast. Everyone on the TV doesn't look like they were just woken up in the middle of the night.

He has spent the last 8 months downplaying it as a non issue. If he does not get it bad, he will continue to say it’s a non issue. I’d hate to figure out this contract tracing. The staff around him, and in the White House are now all at risk. Hopefully, he was far enough from Biden when he went on his rampage the other night.
