          It's rare but it happens that after a candidate gets the nomination and dies - he stays on the ballot.

          But I wonder there's ever been a case where a candidate dies before the nomination is decided, gets the nomination despite being dead, and stays on the ballot. Was/is that even possible?

            The party would eventually have to produce a living person to hold the office, but I bet they could get away with nominating a corpse. Who’s going to stop them? The Democrats would happily let them do it, thinking “surely we can beat a dead guy, right?”

        I honestly believe that a rumor would start that he was still alive and people would write him in.

    I think everything's up for grabs if Trump dies. Therefore it'll probably be Jeb! jeb

    My money is on Nikki Haley. Of course - GOP voters want to vote for a man but the rest of the GOP field is sad and pathetic.

    I think you'll get the MAGA vote split between three or four people claiming to be the one true heir to the Trump throne. The MAGA vote being split and subject to much grief and infighting, it might actually let a (relatively speaking) normie like Pence slip through.

    I have no idea what the correct answer is, but Pence thinks it's him and that's very funny to me.

      Pence thinks it's him

      Jesus came to him in 2015 told him "It shall be your turn," but Jesus didn't say anything else so Pence keeps waiting and waiting. Mother worries it was actually the voice of the devil but she's never told him that. But it is a quandary. If think you're a prophet and god's messenger on earth - how do you know who is actually talking to you?
