      How a small but violent subset of the nation would react. A significant number of people would be just fine with him going to jail and forget about him.

      I can’t imagine the RNC trying to scramble to get another candidate this close to the election. More likely as not he either pays a small fine. I doubt he’ll get jailtimr. Knowing this country and how weird things have gotten he’ll go to jail and his supporters will come out in droves to the ballot box and then win the presidency and we’ll be in a really tough spot.

        Nikki Haley is the backup, she’s already got a few delegates to make it official.

        Too bad that even if he died, a significant part of his supporters would probably vote for him anyways thinking he’s secretly alive
