Vrai, it's hard for me to believe that you really have this much animosity towards "the left" (whatever that is). Or that you believe all those conspiracy theories. Because, I think you are smart.
I don't want anyone to "keel over." But keep in mind, we are talking about 2 people at the 7 decade mark. Either one of them could just go at any second.
However, I do agree with you that the republicans would install an establishment politician. But I disagree that Hillary would win. The only reason it's a tie right now is due to the percentage of republicans who will not be voting for Trump because he's Trump (don't blame me, it's not my fault). So, if Trump weren't there, they would all come back. JMO.
