I'm not sure how American politics works. If Biden kicks the bucket before the election, does Trump win by default?

To Mars if Trump wins, but much further afield if it's Biden.

Under Joe, the USA donated 18 bajillion dollars worth of hi tech weaponry to the Taliban; we've seen a major hot war break out in Europe; ditto in the Middle East; China seriously threatening Taiwan; an increase in tension in Korea; Iran re-starting nuclear production; and illegal immigration into the States surging as a deliberate policy to keep the Democrats in power.

Trump, for all his vulgarity and braggartry, was just a run-of-the-mill unsuccessful Republican president.

You know how Wrestling is fixed? Politics in the USA has just become ringside hysteria on a larger scale.

Bucko - it seems to depend on when the death occurs. The candidate may just be replaced by his or her party, but if the death occurs too late for that then the votes are counted and if the dead candidate would have won, the deputy takes over just as they would afterwards. I think that's it, but maybe we'll find out.

Sam - yes, if Biden wins it's more war. Trump is opposed to war and if the Dems can't work out why that is a good thing they deserve Biden.

DJ - I think so too, it's like the fog of war. We don't know for sure who won last time but there was far too much fraud and we'll see it again.
