32. I don't want to have to pass, but we really can't trust what we're told.

Even if he has a case of Covid, his taking treatments from his Operation Warpspeed corps looks like the next stage of a likely campaign script to me.

Which is that he takes his products, gets out, has all his Rose Garden people treated, then pushes his products for the rest of the month with the subtle message that "only I can fix it -- so you 'd better vote for me." That's where I lean, given his history of stealth manipulation.

I rule nothing out at this point. Every poll choice could be right, and only Covid knows.

Even if he were to be proclaimed dead, you'd have to have a poll about whether we have the truth or not, and I wouldn't believe it until I see the long form autopsy report with attendant photos. And even then...
