I just had an idea...
is fast approaching 80.

A court case is a strain on any person. Even worse, if it is a criminal offense. Having rather simultanous proceedings in various jurisdiction would be an extraordinary strain even for a young man.
For someone, who has shown the loss of reality in public time and again, it definitely is not beneficial fo his health, migth even lead to him being incapacitated running for office.

What happens, if he is the elected GQP...

...candidate but is not fit to run for office just shortly before the ballots ar e cast.
Can the GQP still substitute him with the second runner up in the primaries, say at this point in time?

    Hi Philip,

    you bring up some interesting aspects, alas, I am not sure I understand this sentence correctly:
    "My understanding is if it is after the ballots go out they're sol and will need a write-in campaign"

    "sol"?

    I am also quite suprised, that you are "confident" that will not be the nominee.
    I would like to suggest one point for "and more:" The more indictment and convictions he collects, the more untenable he will become for the people supporting him with...

    Funny you should say so.
    As you are studying history, you might know the historic novel of James Clavel, .
    In Hong Kong, a business tycoon was (is?) called a .
    And there, they believe a lot in luck. They call it "joss." As you mentioned it, yes, has had an extradinary streak of luck for decades.
    Stochastics show, that these streaks will run out some time.
    And yes, I think a colapse (maybe not the final one) is imminent. For one thing, I don't think..

    ...he has completely processed the implications of the for his business empire. From all that I have read, that is really "him."
    For him, this--once carried out--this will be like the worst sentence of the Ancient Egyptians against former pharaos: the scrubbing of their names from official documents and building, as it happened e.g. to Hatshepsut and Akhenaten (.)

    I am beginning to love this...

    ...verdict. It is so fitting for , maybe even better throwing him from the , as I have been calling for (i.e. death sentence for high treason, as he can still be president in prison.)

    So, if this is true, the remaining question is, how long will it take for his brain to process that all is lost?

    Days? Weeks? Most probably not months.

    So the highest likelyhood for his meltdown is October/November 2023.

    Good riddance to bad rubbish.

    A lot of points and I don't disagree. is clearly a fascist. I would not be able to say which trait he hasn't already showed (apart from mass killings.) He's already deporting people, though.

    is the key, but too huge here.
    I've discussed it many times.
    Bottom line: NOTHING will stop global warming anymore.
    The amount of that is in the atmosphere right now is sufficient that there will be NO (periodically occurring)..
