    Do they really expect their orange beanbag leader to still be alive in four years? And if he still is, to still be able to know his own name or speak coherently in public?

      He only needs to stagger over the four-year line before dropping dead, and Republicans get to stay in charge for four more years.

      Actuarial tables for an obese guy of his age reckon 50/50 chance of making it to the end of his term. Of course he has access to better healthcare than most.

        Better health care but I gotta imagine day to day odds aren’t so hot for a dude who’s on a diet of McDonalds and Diet Coke. Kind of surprised he’s made it to 78.

          Seems there are some people who can subsist completely on hate and cruelty as if it powers them, and they outlive us all. Just more evidence that this is all just a cosmic joke.

          Trump eating like shit is a phony PR campaign to win support from middle America. Dude has dozens of private chefs. He absolutely eats healthier than the average American. He just eats McDonalds when cameras are rolling.

        They’ll prop his bloated corpse onto a metal pole to put behind glass as they continue to run things while their dear leader ‘rests and recuperates.’

        I can see him possibly making it that far … but I really don’t think he’ll be making much more sense the older he gets. He could live another 20 years, it doesn’t mean he’ll have all his marbles.

        They know it has no chance to pass. It’s with straight up boot licking, or they think they have a plan to bypass the amendment process.
