Last night, Benedict Donald gave an "interview" to Elon Musk on what will forever remain Twitter, and it didn't go very well. It was delayed nearly an hour by technical difficulties, but once it finally began, Trump's speaking style caught listeners by surprise.
He slurred his words and lisped. Now, it's not nice to make fun of lispers. Anyone who's seen The Music Man knows that. But after weeks of solid coverage of President Biden's lapses and goofs, you'd think you would have seen at least one MSM story about why Donald was suddenly talking as if his dentures were falling out of his mouth.
The other big news out of the "interview" occurred when Trump told Musk that if he loses in November, he'll flee to Venezuela. Hmmm. Wonder how Justice Juan Merchan, scheduled to sentence Trump on September 18 for his 34 guilty counts in New York, received that little nugget of information?
Anyway, whether he's sounding like Sylvester the Cat or babbling about Venezuela, it's pretty clear that Donald is not well. It got us to thinking: What would happen if he had some sort of medical event before the election? We're not talking about that ear-clipping "assassination attempt," which the MSM seems curiously uninterested in covering anymore. We're thinking, say, some kind of stroke. Can you imagine the fights that would take place in the GOP?
The 168-member Republican National Committee would have to meet and anoint someone. Here's what might happen:
Nobody would want JD Vance to take Donald's place.
The MAGAts would insist on Don Jr.
The establishment donor class, which only cares about winning, would want somebody like Nikki Haley — despite her constant flip-flopping on Donald. The hard-core Trumpsters would never stand for her, so she's out. Then the moneybags would probably try for Doug Burgum, the zillionaire North Dakotan who excites absolutely no one, or Baby Marco, who has proven over and that he doesn't belong in the big leagues.
That leaves them with dog killer Kristi Noem and other nutjobs who fell off the original VP list. But don't count out GOP crazy boys Tom Cotton from Arkansas and Josh Hawley from Missouri. Surely they would assume that without Trump, their time had come. As Donald would say to Elon, "What a thitthow!" We cats PURR.
