Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

I can imagine Biden choosing Harris as VP but that will go down really badly with all the defund the police people. Abrams is possible but given she hasn't done anything more than being a Georgia local representative that seems a little less likely.

A Joe Biden win will justify 3rd world tactics to win elections and a greater breakdown of law and order. The new generation of right wingers are not the same type of principled cuckolds like the old ones in power. And as the Hispanics grow, we will see a lot negative changes for niggers more than whites as Hispanics are also tribal and give no issues going full 1488 if needed.

Yeah this, an (unlikely) Biden victory won't literally destroy the country, but given what the Dems have been doing to try and get him in, it will continue the decline of our electoral system and create further political corruption.(also, SCOTUS appointments and Bitch Boy Beto trying to start a new gun control push, all very bad things) So vote for Trump, especially vote for Trump if you live in a a swing state or a lean red/blue state. Don't give the modern democratic party the slightest inch if you can prevent it.

Given all the stuff that has been brought up in this thread and other threads regarding the weakness of Biden and his campaign, I continue to find a Biden victory improbable.

I'm confident in the ability of the working-class to foil any plans that Beto has to force his bizarre pro-Homosexual agenda on our children. He's not called Beta O'Dork because of his ability to get things done.
The recent events are however an important reminder that Nancy Pelosi wants you disarmed and helpless in the face of Democratic mob violence. The fact that hard working Americans were able to legally purchase firearms and defend themselves from the aggression of big city liberal mayors and their pet activists has not gone unnoticed by Nancy or her cronies.
I fully expect Pelosi to redouble her efforts to interfere with the Second Amendment fueled by a bitter rage against American prosperity.

Tucker is pushing GOP hard to become the party of the working man. Its the only way they can survive now. Being corporate whores is leading to dumb woke shit from GOP senators wanting to abolish Columbus Day. I don't care about Columbus but given the perception of the GOP, could anyone say back in the 1980s or 1990s or 2000s that the GOP would try to abolish Columbus day first lol.

You will get $1 if he wins. You will only get the other $1 if he dies and his VP takes over.

How probable did people on the other side think a Trump victory?

Who cares? Biden is senile, his voters are voting for him as the "not trump candidate" and there's fuck all enthusiasm for him among the dems. Trump in 2016 and now is not senile, has a voter base that is fully revved up to vote for him, and said base is incredibly enthusiastic to do so. The only real counter to this is "the polls" and the polls don't mean jack shit before the people being polled are likely voters in the main, furthermore, the polls are likely to be inaccurately showing Biden to have more of a lead then he really does in reality.
Trump has a point about the polls
Some pollsters are still grappling with the same problems that plagued battleground state surveys four years ago.

[QUOTE="The article]
But some pollsters, especially the relatively few who conduct surveys in battleground states, are still grappling with the problems that plagued those polls four years ago. In fact, most pollsters believe that, on balance, state polls are overstating the scale of Biden’s advantage.
That was precisely the problem in 2016: The national polls were largely accurate, to within the margin of error. But there were too few state polls, and many of those that were conducted failed to collect accurate data, especially from white voters without college degrees in key swing states.
And those issues haven’t been fixed.
“I would say that most, if not all, of the concerns that we expressed still hold — some to a lesser degree,” said Courtney Kennedy, director of research at the Pew Research Center and lead author of the polling industry’s post-2016 autopsy. “But I think some of the fundamental, structural challenges that came to a head in 2016 are still in place in 2020.”
Polling errors are not uncommon in presidential elections. But pollsters see a real risk this year that the mistakes of 2016 will be repeated. Their colleagues still are not accounting for the fact that voters with greater educational attainment are more likely to complete surveys — and more likely to vote for Democratic candidates.
“There’s still a number of state polls, in particular, that are not fixing this issue,” said Kennedy.
[/QUOTE]
This article tries to downplay the issue more than a little, but the reality of the matter is that there are certain inherent inaccuracies with the state polls that were never fixed after 2016. Biden's lead in the battleground states is overstated. More to the point, Hillary Clinton was the one who had the lead in 2016, and how did that work out for her?

Someone who either doesn't yet understand that polls have devolved into mere propaganda tools to push an agenda, or who understands this perfectly and is onboard with that agenda.

A new poll indicates Democratic voters are most excited about the prospect of Kamala Harris being tapped as Joe Biden’s running mate, but are wary of Elizabeth Warren being chosen.
While 38 percent of Democrats overall found Warren an “acceptable” choice and 27 percent were "excited" about the idea, 19 percent found her to be a “not acceptable” choice, the highest negative rating of any of the 11 candidates listed.
The negative views rose among white voters. The USA Today/Suffolk University poll showed 23 percent of white voters found Warren to be a “not acceptable” choice, while that number was 19 percent among Hispanic voters and 13 percent among black voters.
Warren was an “exciting” choice to 33 percent of white Democrats and 15 percent of black voters.
The poll found that seven in 10 Democrats think it’s “important” for Biden to pick a black woman as his VP, as 35 percent said it was “very important” and 37 percent said it was “somewhat important.” Twenty-six percent thought it was “not very” or “not at all” important.
Harris, the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, generated the most excitement among Democrats across racial lines: 41 percent of white voters and 32 percent of African-Americans said they would be “excited” by the choice. Overall, 33 percent called her choice “acceptable” and 12 percent called her “not acceptable.”
Many of the other candidates listed did not have the name recognition of the two former presidential contenders. But former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams rose in fame after her loss to Brian Kemp, and she was seen as an “exciting” choice to 30 percent of white and 27 percent of black respondents. Among all Democrats, 29 percent rated her “acceptable” and 10 percent rated her “not acceptable.”
Former Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice and Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms had nearly equal “exciting” ratings from black Americans, 24 and 25 percent, but Rice was four points more “exciting” to white voters -- 20 percent to 16 percent.
Among all Democrats, 35 percent thought Rice would be an “acceptable” choice and 10 percent thought “not acceptable.” For Bottoms, 28 percent called her “acceptable” and 7 percent thought “not acceptable.”
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was seen as “exciting” by 16 percent of black and white Democrats alike. Thirty-eight percent found her “acceptable” and 14 percent thought “not acceptable.”
Florida Rep. Val Demings, Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth, Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin, California Rep. Karen Bass and New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham were also included in the survey, but most respondents did not know enough about either to have an opinion.
The USA Today poll was conducted by Suffolk University June 25-29, with 1,000 registered voters nationwide -- including 345 Democrats and 287 Republicans -- questioned by live telephone operators. The survey’s overall sampling error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. The margin of error for the Democratic sample is plus or minus 5.3 percentage points; for the Republican sample it is 5.8 points.
The survey also shows that a plurality of Republican voters said that it would be acceptable for President Trump to replace Vice President Pence as his running mate with former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
Thirty-five percent of Republican voters questioned said they would accept the president replacing Pence with Haley as his running mate, with another 11 percent saying the move would be exciting. Twenty-one percent said replacing Pence would not be acceptable and 6 percent said they’d be angry with such a move. One in four were undecided.
The president has pushed back against rumors that he would dump Pence for Haley, but former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton in his new book "The Room Where It Happened" said that he believed the speculation of replacing Pence with Haley was being promoted behind the scenes by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
Biden told reporters Tuesday during a news conference that he had prepared a list of “women of color” for vice presidential consideration – but he wouldn’t announce a decision until August.
“There are a number of women of color. There are Latino women. There are Asian. There are — across the board. And we’re just underway now in the hard vet of going into the deep background checks that take anywhere from six to eight weeks to be done,” Biden said.

Yeah, like Trump and Pence are going to let the dream team of black father deprivers get rehabilitated.
