Time for a new politics thread. Guessing it’ll be fairly quiet given the calm and measured state of world politics today.

They have a majority of 3 and one of them has said she won’t vote to appoint a justice before an election. If any decision is a tie the VP gets the casting vote. So if my maths are right if 5 are absent they’ll lose.
The two senators with positive Covid results are meant to quarantine for 10 days which would get them back for the first hearings, that’s if they don’t get seriously ill with it though and no more of them test positive.

Latest news is that Trump is doing fine.
Can’t wait to hear him talk about it the next debate. I am doing great Joe. I have had a great recovery, you could even say a v shaped recovery. It’s not even fine, all the doctors say it’s the greatest recovery they’ve ever seen. I beat covid Joe. Could you beat covid joe? It’s been great, everybody said i did phenomenal and everybody is very happy with it Joe. You couldn’t beat covid Joe, you’ve never beaten covid in your 47 years in the senate. I’ve beaten more covid than any president before me. It’s just been tremendous.

BREAKING: “The president’s vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care. We’re still not on a clear path to a full recovery.”
–A source familiar with the President's health, to pool reporters

Earlier Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was caught on video asking to speak off the record with the press pool outside Walter Reed:

Technical question: what happens with votes for Trump if he dies between now and the election? Do they go to Pence? Will the election be between Pence and Biden or will they pick another Republican?
I think it’s uncharted territory as it hasn’t ever happened before that a nominee has died between nomination and the election.
Given that in the US presidential election voters specifically choose a person rather than a party, it wouldn’t be as straightforward as simply allocating Trump votes to Pence – and Pence also hasn’t gone through the nomination process. So there are lots of open questions.
-
It’s uncharted but from what I have read there’s basically little choice. It is written in stone that a newly elected President must be in place by the end of January (note newly elected, not new).
Compared to parliamentary systems options for delay are very limited. So technically they could nominate someone else but their current nomination process takes many months.

Yeah, I mean putting it simply I think the only options in the case of a dead or incapacitated Trump are a) someone else is dropped in as a Republican nominee at short notice or b) the election is delayed and they do the same thing.
Given the likely outcry and constitutional difficulties attached to delaying the election I think they’d find a way to parachute in Pence at short notice.
Of course this is complicated further by the fact that postal votes are already being submitted with Trump’s name on. What happens with those I’m not sure – I guess they would have to be voided and resubmitted.
All of this is not ideal. I would hope for Trump to still be a viable candidate through to the election to avoid more chaos.

It’s funny actually I Googled an article on the scenario and it is quite chaotic, there are state level rules on who to put forward from the electoral college and none of them are consistent.
In general people do tend to be reactive with these things rather than think through scenarios. I remember in my last job I went into a disaster recovery meeting, my new boss sent me because I had some experience there as I came from the banking industry.
They’d had a power cut a year previously and the meeting was all about reacting to a power cut. I said the office was right next to the airport, what if a plane crashed into it? The plan was to shift staff across from the island to the mainland, I asked what if the bridge is closed?
I was never invited back and none of those scenarios were ever looked at (and that’s in a Fortune 500 company).

At the same time though, when there aren’t clear rules in place I think people are able to be fairly pragmatic and cut through the theoretical complications if there’s an obvious practical solution.
You can look at something like the previous Tory leadership campaign where Theresa May got through to the final round and her opponent dropped out so there was no party membership vote. Everyone sort of shrugged their shoulders and said “ok, you’re PM” even though it didn’t follow the on-paper procedure.
I think in this case they’d simply find a way to switch it to Pence and bring on a new VP candidate as quickly as possible.

I suspect so too but it is true that the UK system is very much based on pragmatism. It doesn’t work on quite the same level as the US on everything having to align to the constitution and legal precedent. Which is good or bad depending on the scenario.
The time limitation though does suggest the VP or no other options

I’m not overly fond of the idea of Trump dying in office, thus making him a martyr for his odious supporters (I’d much rather he live to suffer an ignominious defeat at the polls), but if he does, let’s hope the GOP is pushed as quickly to replace him as he and they were to replace RBG.

Regarding Trump’s handling of covid-19, I think you can’t just say he is responsible for all that died. That just doesn’t make any sense at all. You can criticize certain points, I think he has handled it way too scattershot, without a real plan. He should have had a team of experts out there, medical, economical, even military and human rights experts, saying “we’re going to do this, because of this”, and just show they’re acting consequentially. Show they understand the gravity of the situation and the people’s concerns. While the number of fatalities relative to the total population is high, some other countries like Belgium and Spain are even worse.
The Obama administration left behind a pandemic playbook plus other safeguards and protocols to be used in an event such as this.
Trump and his administration not only ignored this, they defunded parts of this. What’s more, it has been documented that Trump himself is the source of much of the misinformation about the pandemic.
So, yes, Trump and his administration IS responsible for the deaths in the US. There is no one else to blame but him.

Yeah, I want to see Trump recover and lose the election. Not just so he can suffer that loss, but I want his base to suffer that loss too. In some ways, I think that’s even more important. His rabid base needs to see America reject Trump by as big a margin as possible. Do I have faith that will happen? Not really, but if America is going to ever recover from Trumpism then it needs to be rejected quite hard 30 days from now.

Secret Service agents, doctors aghast at Trump’s drive outside hospital
Current and former Secret Service agents and medical professionals were aghast Sunday night at President Trump’s trip outside the hospital where he is being treated for the coronavirus, saying the president endangered those inside his SUV for a publicity stunt.
As the backlash grew, multiple aides who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal deliberations also called Trump’s evening outing an unnecessary risk — but said it was not surprising. Trump had said he was bored in the hospital, advisers said. He wanted to show strength after his chief of staff offered a grimmer assessment of his health than doctors, according to campaign and White House officials.
A growing number of Secret Service agents have been concerned about the president’s seeming indifference to the health risks they face when traveling with him in public, and a few reacted with outrage to the trip, asking how Trump’s desire to be seen outside his hospital suite justified the jeopardy to agents protecting him. Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis has already brought new scrutiny to his lax approach to social distancing, as public health officials scramble to trace those he may have exposed at large in-person events.
“He’s not even pretending to care now,” one agent said after the president’s jaunt outside Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to wave at supportive crowds.
“Where are the adults?” said a former Secret Service member.
They spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retribution.
White House spokesman Judd Deere defended the outing, telling reporters “appropriate precautions were taken in the execution of this movement to protect the president and all those supporting it.” Deere said precautions included personal protective equipment, without providing further details, and added the trip “was cleared by the medical team as safe to do.”
The White House did not immediately respond to questions from The Washington Post on Sunday night.
Trump wore a mask as he waved from the back of his vehicle, after announcing he would “pay a little surprise to some of the great patriots that we have out on the street.” But the face covering was little comfort to doctors, who took to Twitter to criticize the trip as irresponsible. Masks “help, but they are not an impenetrable force field,” tweeted Saad B. Omer, director of the Yale Institute for Global Health.
Among critics was a doctor affiliated with Walter Reed.
“Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary Presidential ‘drive-by’ just now has to be quarantined for 14 days,” tweeted James P. Phillips, who is also a professor at George Washington University. “They might get sick. They may die. For political theater. Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theater. This is insanity.”
Phillips said the risk of viral transmission inside the car is “as high as it gets outside of medical procedures.” Jonathan Reiner, a professor of medicine and surgery at George Washington University, noted people inside a hospital wear extensive protective gear — gowns, gloves, N95 masks and more — when they will be in close contact with a coronavirus patient such as Trump.
“By taking a joy ride outside Walter Reed the president is placing his Secret Service detail at grave risk,” he tweeted.
Trump had been irked that White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows suggested he was not doing well as he fought the virus, according to campaign and White House officials.
“The president’s vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning, and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care,” Meadows said Saturday afternoon, in sharp contrast to doctors who offered rosy assessments at an earlier news conference. “We’re still not on a clear path to a full recovery.”
Later that day, Meadows said Trump’s condition had improved significantly but maintained the president was “not out of the woods,” echoing Trump’s doctor.
Trump’s outing Sunday came as White House officials acknowledged the president’s health deteriorated to the point where he received supplemental oxygen, something they previously refused to disclose. Trump’s doctor, Sean Conley, said Sunday he was “trying to reflect the upbeat attitude that the team, the president, over his course of illness, has had.”
“Optics matter right now,” said one senior aide close to Meadows, adding: “Shows of strength and resilience are crucial. For the American public, but also those watching abroad.”

I love that they always have the most ridiculously wrong takeaways. Yes, optics are important…the optics that your dumbass administration actually learned their lesson from their careless attitude towards the virus and are now being responsible. Not some stupid sign of strength that will only appeal to your diehard base that’s obsessed with everything Trump does already.

Timing is a big thing. Boris Johnson was posting videos like Trump a few days in, then after about 10 days was into intensive care (and he genuinely was very ill, you may know I know someone who works in St Thomas’ hospital where he was treated).
They have a better grasp on treatment now definitely but the 10 day thing seems a very common pattern. Very few get it and fall into deep illness suddenly.

At the same time, treatment protocols have evolved quite a bit since Johnson was hospitalised. For example, it was reported that Trump was being treated with dexamethasone, which was only confirmed as effective for COVID patients in June and even then is only recommended for use in relatively severe cases.
Combined with the reports that Trump had been given oxygen as well as treated with remdesivir and other investigational treatments, it seems quite plausible that he was exhibiting quite serious symptoms in the run up to the weekend (and he could have had it for some days prior to that as far as we know) and has come out the other side.
But the path of this illness is still very difficult to predict and it’s perfectly possible he gets worse again, who knows.

He says he is scheduled to be released at 6:30pm. Now he and his people have this new spin that he has experience with the virus that Biden does not. Trump is saying now that the virus is nothing to really worry about.
He says that now…Wait for the other shoe to drop.
Sure, nothing to worry about if you’re the president of the United States and have a team of doctors working around the clock with all the best available treatments at their disposal. Like I said, Trump always has the worst takeaways.

Of course he won’t. It makes him look weak and reinforces how badly he has fucked up on the coronavirus response.
I love this bit though:
Bill Stepien, Trump’s campaign manager, accused the commission on Thursday of “unilaterally canceling an in-person debate” to help Biden and said the President will be holding a rally instead of attending the debate.

Part of my job involves prepping for big televised events. Vivid made it crazy difficult this year, but Trump just turns everything into a complete nightmare. We’re in the middle of prep for the 2nd debate, and all we can do is stay the course even though it might not happen at all because this giant man-child throws a temper tantrum when he doesn’t get his way.
It’s also laughable when you consider just a month or so ago the Trump campaign was baselessly saying Biden was trying to back out of the debates. Now they’re basically trying to blame Biden for Trump being careless and holding a super spreader event a month before the election. 2020 is a hell of a joke.

Trump is a dog with two bones.
On one hand, he is a power-hungry tyrant who always wants more power and for people to fear him and kiss his ass. He is operating on the largest stage of his life and all eyes are always on him. Being POTUS is probably the biggest ego boost he has ever had.
On the other hand, being president has to be the worst thing he has ever experienced. He doesn’t always get what he wants and too many of his secrets have been exposed. His actions and decisions are constantly questioned and he can’t shut people up like he is used to doing. You can tell he is miserable.
He hates the job but his ego won’t let him quit.
I’m sure there are days he regrets running for president in the first place.
