Serious question: had this individual been successful in killing Trump, who would be Trump's successor?
The guy who shot him, as it happens with the Sith.
Honestly no one. Trump couldn't get any of his acolytes elected in 2022. For whatever reason the MAGA base only likes Trump.
Which is kind of a good thing, in certain regards.
It really wouldn't matter, he'd be a martyr for "the cause" and everyone riding his coattails would be foaming at the mouth to replace him as the figurehead with big Trump posters behind em for the rest of time.
Tulsi, Vivek, RFK, NIki... There are a lot of choices out there and I think the Republicans would most likely do a quick round of debates/votes to get someone in.
...at least they listen to their party base. The DNC fucked over every candidate who wouldn't fall in line and bow. The base wanted Bernie, and look how that turned out. They don't gaf what their base wants, they'll prop up whoever they think they can control.
It's funny that half the people in that list (Tulsi and RFK) are actually pretty normal (relatively, of course). Better than both running candidates.
OK, I haven't even been in the US, so just an outside opinion.
RFK is not normal. He had a brain parisyte that ate part of his brain.
That's normal relatively to two senile Hitlers without taste
Nobody knows.
Don Jr? Ivanka? His VP that I'm sure Don Jr knows.
Right, it'd probably be a relative.
That’s how wannabe royalty works.
And it would be perfectly in line with the trump family to capitalize on the death of one of their kind.
I'm sure the republican party would have another candidate immediately. There were a bunch of other candidates that ran a little bit earlier this year for this election, but got like zero news coverage and dropped out. I know because I looked them up a couple a weeks ago wondering why I never heard of others in passing.
