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?

Paul Krugman?
On the internet:
On Trump:
Paul Krugman should be as trusted giving financial advise as Lennie from Of Mice And Men should be trusted to take care of puppies.

I don't think so. I know Kamala has the incumbent advantage, but she is SO unlikeable that she might not even get out of the primary. Maybe rainbows, but I mean I don't see her getting any more likeable in the next three years.
The best case scenario (and by that I mean the funniest for clown world) is an AOC vs. Kamala DNC contest. That would be funny as shit.

they have to deny it. because the economy going to shit is the one and only thing that is garun fucking teed to sink a politcal party for YEARS. Carter's economy was so shitty republicans ruled the country for 12 years straight after that.
Inflation expectations surge, hitting new high for New York Fed survey
The June Survey of Consumer Expectations showed that median inflation expectations over the next 12 months jumped to 4.8%.www.cnbc.com
I feel like I'm taking fucking crazy pills. Every single economic indicator has been flashing in bright red scarlet letters for months now: YOU'RE FUCKED. When their monthly predictions fall flat on their faces, they drag out some decrepit jewish banker with a list of conflicting interests a mile long, or some soyfaced NYU grad who couldn't predict shit falling from a horses ass, to vomit out some market jargon gishgallop on television explaining how "akshually, this time the indicators are wrong because of our magical neolib circular reasoning that only a bigot or a conspiracy theorist would ever contest, so shut up and keep buying on credit, goy". I was a child during the 2008 market collapse so I don't have a frame of reference here. Was the media in full on denial mode before the market shit itself back then too?

Not only that, but the MSM acts like the DNC has never questioned the results of an election before.
Just in my lifetime, the Dems still lead 2-1 in contested elections (2000 and 2016).

It's inevitable, after the way the Biden regime and the left have gone crazy in the last six months. In their frenzy of hatred for President Trump, they have gone all out to overturn everything President Trump has done. A more measured approach might not have brought about such pushback, but the Biden regime and the left don't have the discipline.
At this rate, the GOP can be expected to take Congress next year and take back the White House in 2024.

Victimizers quickly becoming victims is a recurrent theme of Thucydides’ history. In his commentary on the so-called stasis at Corcyra, he offers his most explicit warning about the long-term dangers of destroying legal institutions, customs, and traditions that serve the common good for short-term gain.
The historian notes that in the inevitable yin and yang of politics, the destroyers inevitably will seek, but do so in vain, refuge in what they have destroyed. Between 2017 and 2021 the Left has done exactly that.
What was common to the media’s deification of the criminally minded Michael Avenatti, and the promotion of a series of abject hoaxes? Do we remember the Steele “dossier,” the supposed authority of Fusion-GPS, the Schiff “report,” and the entire Russian “collusion” yarn?
Do we recall how the Left invented the Charlottesville construct out of a supposedly racist and unqualified endorsement by the president of the Klan and neo-Nazis? Who has forgotten the charge of “racism” for merely connecting the origins of COVID-19 to a Wuhan, level-4 security, gain-of-function-research, Chinese-military-affiliated virology lab rather than to a chopped-up wet bat or pangolin?
Do we remember the names of our supposed best and brightest retired intelligence officials who lied shamelessly and on spec for the Biden campaign, claiming that Russian “disinformation” accounted for a supposedly fictitious Hunter Biden’s laptop? And are the fabrications by Joe Biden and the media—that men with guns staged an “armed insurrection” of January 6 and “killed” officer Brian Sicknick—the new standard of truth?
What ties together the efforts of Robert Mueller’s 22-month, $40 million witch hunt, and the two impeachment proceedings—the last dispensing with witnesses, formal hearings, cross-examinations, a special prosecutor, and the Chief Justice presiding, all in mob-like efforts to try to convict in the Senate now private citizen Donald Trump? Must a Joe Biden, one day as president-emeritus and private citizen, fear that there will be no statutes of limitation to his vulnerability, when the vast trove of Hunter Biden’s laptop is finally accessed and turned over to a future hostile congress or federal prosecutor?
What is the common denominator of the Lt. General Michael Flynn debacle, the unmasking and leaking of surveilled American citizens, the nonstop politicized commentaries of retired military officers, and the weaponization of the intelligence agencies? What binds together the text trove of Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, the cleansing of FBI cell phones, or the forgeries of FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith?
What was the catalyst that turned a left-wing Democratic Party into a cultural revolutionary mob? In other words, why in our 233rd year of the republic are Democrats so intent to destroy the Electoral College, pack the court, admit new states to the Union, junk the filibuster, and federalize national election laws? What was so wrong with assimilation, integration, intermarriage, the “content of our character,” and race as incidental rather than essential to who we are? What has the woke revolution offered us instead?
Since when did regaining a House majority equate to impeaching a president on the eve of a reelection campaign, with his future and fiercest campaign opponents possibly as senators to be sitting in judgment on him in any Senate trial? What was common to all the “bombshells” and “walls are closing in” mythologies regarding meetings with Russians in Trump Tower, or mysterious “pings” of Trump tower machines automatically communicating with Russians, or the certain impending indictments of the Trump family?
Since when do we go back over three decades to destroy a Supreme Court nominee, with rumors of teenage drinking and supposed sexual harassment, charges brought without independent witnesses and evidence, but with plenty of solid refutation?
When did the 25th Amendment become a political tool to remove a president before a scheduled election? Since when does a Yale professor become a congressional deity for unprofessionally tele-diagnosing the president as mentally enfeebled—to the acclaim of Congress? Since when do the acting FBI head and the acting Attorney General spin mad ideas of entrapping the president with a wire to oust him as crazy?
Since when do former officials and public intellectuals write openly about the possibilities of a coup d’etat? Or when was it honorable for an “anonymous” and supposedly “important” administration insider to brag publicly about deliberately obstructing and undermining a president, or for retired admirals to address the nation in op-eds raising the possibility of removing a president “the sooner, the better”? What exactly does “sooner” mean?
The ties that bound all these melodramas over the last four years were threefold: 1) venomous hatred of outlier, controversial, and combative Trump; 2) the sanctimonious, near-religious belief that any means necessary were justified in the noble aim of destroying his presidency—and damn any lasting damage to traditional customs and constitutional norms; and 3) no counterforce would ever dream of doing to the Left what it was doing to destroy Trump.
Now we have a new president, a new administration, and a media that has gone from hysterical and venomous hatred of a president to sudden puppy-dog obsequiousness. In a blink, the national press corps molted its National Enquirerexoskeleton and revealed its inner flabby Pravda essence.
What are the lasting consequences of all this madness?
The Left should hope that House Republicans are Marquess of Queensberry players and do not emulate the Democrats’ behavior. They should hope that a Republican chairman of the House intelligence committee would not monitor the phone records of Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.). For if the opposition did gain the majority in November 2022, Joe Biden’s past involvement with foreign monied interests, and the evidence of his shady behavior from his own son’s laptop texts offer a far more convincing case of impeachable offenses—failure to report to the IRS off-the-books income, influence peddling, and abject lying about foreign quid pro quo involvement—than does a single Ukrainian phone call. All that exposure is well aside from Biden’s deliberate decision not to enforce, as his job requires, federal immigration law.
Is screaming that the Trump boys were crooked, about to be indicted, and should be investigated nonstop a good precedent for federal fishing investigations of Hunter Biden? The mystery of Hunter Biden’s audacity and shamelessness seems now simple: as his recent “artist” scam, and the excuses of the White House for his artifices, show, Hunter will never, ever stop his grift.
Why? Aside from the easy lucre, a cynic might conclude that Hunter expresses bitterness at his own “clean” father for not appreciating dirty Hunter’s own slimy and raunchy “sacrifices” to enrich the Biden family in general, and in particular the “big guy” and Mr. “10 percent.” In truth, Hunter’s spite increasingly borders on implicit blackmail of his presidential father, as if something like, “You owe me, so cut me some slack—or perhaps if I go down, so does the family.”
In sum, Hunter is kryptonite to the White House and not just because of his drugs, his pornography, his women, and his criminality, but because in his delusions at least he thinks that all he did was the cost of business for the Biden family, and the proof of his pudding is in his family’s voracious eating.
If the media can force a compos mentis president to take the Montreal Cognitive Assessment to stop the hysteria that he is both enfeebled and should be removed, what do we then do with a Joe Biden who is the first president since Woodrow Wilson who often seems not mentally or cognitively up to the job? Keep talking about Joe’s favorite ice cream or the décor of Air Force One?
Are we now to expect dissident retired generals and conservative admirals soon to swarm the airways and op-eds columns claiming that Biden is derelict, non compos mentis, and, in McCarthyite style, scanning the ranks for mythical insurrectionaries and thus using the tactics of the Nazis and Mussolini to divide us? Is that our new standard? If a Biden campaign helper or advisor is brought up on charges, will Fox, in CNN style, accidentally show up at the home of the accused to film a SWAT team arrest?
In truth, constitutional protections, sane media coverage, and acceptable behavior for the top echelon of the political-military-intelligence-industrial complex were abandoned during 2016. The old rules were jettisoned on the assumption that the nation’s moral superiors and Platonic guardians had the right, and indeed, the duty, to suspend norms and traditions for our own greater good of sandbagging a political campaign, undermining a presidential transition, and removing the elected Donald Trump any way possible.
Again, none of our moral overseers ever produce any historical metrics to justify their precedents of sabotaging of a presidency. Were there Trump sins and crimes in office comparable to FDR having his daughter arrange trysts with his mistress in the White House, or putting Japanese-Americans in detention camps, or emulating JFK’s sexual depravities in the White House swimming pool, or wiretapping Civil Rights leaders for purposes of blackmail, or exposing oneself in LBJ-style, or the Clinton cigar antics, or siccing the IRS, Obama style, on political enemies, or the latter’s intelligence agencies green-lighting a foreign agent to use foreign sources to run a smear campaign against a presidential candidate?
So the problem now is that under such our new precedents, Joe Biden has more exposure to investigations of his own family’s criminality and behavior than Trump ever had.
If Trump was rash, Biden really is cognitively compromised and would not fare as well against the same “prove you are sane” choruses. His executive orders are far more constitutionally questionable than Trump’s. And under the new rules of impeachment, he is far more culpable for using his office in the past for personal gain. The Left fished for liberal federal justices to derail the Trump executive-order agenda, and now the Right will simply copy that protocol and shop around for conservative judges to do the same to Biden’s edicts.
The Left is well on its way to incurring a pushback in 2022 comparable to 2010, with the potential to make the Tea Party boomerang seem like small stuff. And the difference this time around is that there are no customs, no traditions left in treatment accorded a political opponent in office. No one any longer knows what is fair play and what is out of bounds, but only what the Democrats have left us as the new normal: if you deem a candidate, a president-elect, and a president a radical threat to your agenda, then any means necessary to destroy or to remove him and his enablers are not merely legal but absolutely moral and necessary—and damned be the damage to the nation.
What has been sown into the Trump wind, will likely be reaped in the Biden whirlwind.

Quite frankly, it's the same thing with the Pride movement.
If they simply were able to reel in the trannies, and stop trying to normalize sex for pre-teens, there probably wouldn't be a giant backlash forming.
The reason why this country was majority pro-marriage in 2015 was because the gays and lesbians were still doing a convincing job that they didn't want to impose their beliefs on others, aside from the occasional bakery. People were fine with that.
But when you now have "suck the ladydick, bigot" and "we're coming for your kids", even normies are going to be redpilled eventually.

I don't know what numbers you're looking at, but the majority have had at least one dose, and almost half are fully vaccinated. Vaccinations were only authorized for children fairly recently so there is some headway to be made there, and I expect more will be done when school starts up in the fall. I also expect a mini-surge when they are approved by the FDA, which should be done in a matter of months.
Another factor increasing vaccine coverage is the death of people who decline to get vaccinated. The poorly vaccinated states tend to have the highest per capita case rates, and they're getting pummeled now that Delta is here. Where I am, daily cases were down to double digits some days, now we're seeing 800-1000. Daily deaths were down to single digits (even 0), now we're breaking 10. And it takes a while to die, so that number's going up. Since the vast majority of these people will be unvaccinated, their deaths will improve our per capita vaccination coverage.
I would guess none. The Trump administration bought hundreds of millions of doses last year so they already made their money. When it's approved and added to the vaccine schedules, it'll be required for matriculation in schools, accession in the military, health care work, etc. Then they'll have a steady (if small) revenue stream in perpetuity, or until better alternatives come along. That's the long term goal for any vaccine.
For profit maximization, you'd want the fewest people possible to get the pre-purchased doses, so they would end up paying for their vaccines later. Big Pharma wins if nobody gets the vaccines from Trump's purchase order, those stocks are depleted (Biden has been giving them away to foreign countries), and everyone comes around later, requiring the purchase of more vaccines.
