Even death before an election cannot keep democrats from taking office (see: Carnahan, Missouri Senate race 2000). That being said, this is very bad optics. Like soviet premier Andropov getting “a cold”.
If the Uniparty was doing its job—if things were well—there would be no real contest—but the Uniparty seems to exist only for robbing the public til and enforcing the half baked neo-communist agenda of the Left. It looks like its about power—not politics. Its about the moolah not the Republic. Lots of GOP have signed on to the Uniparty express. Time to weed out the RINOs and the lap dogs that infest the Vichy Republican Ranks. Trump has done a great service to the Republic by upsetting the applecart with his brash, New York Style and his honesty. Derail the Mooch Party Express!
