If Trump Wins. . . Written before the election but not posted because I lost my internet connection

 On this date, November 2, 2024, the polls are predicting a presidential race that is too close to call. It seems likely that the election results will not be known until at least a week after election day. It also seems likely that there will be weeks of litigation by the losing side--regardless of whether the losing candidate is Harris or Trump.

While I cannot predict the results of the upcoming presidential election, I am willing to go out on a limb and sugggest what WILL happen if Trump wins.

He will not serve out the full four years. 

If impeached by the House of Representatives, he will not be convicted by the Senate because conviction requires a 2/3 vote and the Democrats will not control 2/3 of the Senate.

Rather, I predict that IF Trump wins,  Vice President Vance will invoke the 25th Amendment, have him declared incompetent, and will remove him from office. Vance, of course, would then become the president. 

The groundwork is already being laid. The news magazine, The Week recently published an article comenting on behavior suggesting that Trump is aging badly.  NPR broadcast a segment suggesting the same thing. Of course, NPR broadcast far less about Biden's cognitive state before the 2020 election. I was not reading The Week at the time and did not know what they did or did not print about this issue at the time.

Nevertheless, Trump is so unpopular that the elites will do everything to get rid of him.
