    Funniest detail to me is that this server lobotomy apparently fucked up Ron DeSanti’s stupid Twitter Spaces candidacy announcement. Of course RdS is never gonna be prez no matter how much techbros are fluffing him.

      Trump might die. He is 77. (Which is also why the crazy Kennedy is a bit scary. I don’t expect America to do the normal thing this season).

        Trump kicking the bucket before the nomination would be the funniest thing ever. There’s no given successor. Every other candidate apart from Christie pays him fealty. There’s no Trump ideology, it’s all what he says at any given moment. Thus, there’s no candidate who can state “I will continue Trump’s legacy”, because it’s never been clearly stated what that legacy is. The GOP donors want someone who can continue to deliver tax cuts and gut welfare, but they’re probably not as interested in pursuing the culture wars. The base, OTOH, just want red meat. And the people promising them the meat are in general hugely unpopular among the general electorate. RdS is there. People simply find him unlikeable.

        Sadly Trump’s parents lived long, so there’s no chance he’ll die.
