    If he dies of a heart attack or something before trial, his supporters will insufferably claim nothing was ever proven and will act like he’s some sort of conservative JFK and demand airports be named after him.

        If he dies and he wins the vote, who gets the presidency? Do we T.Jefferson it: 2nd place is the new winner? Am. History was too long ago for me.

          I’m not sure, I don’t think it’s ever happened that someone who was deceased won the election.

          Some candidates have ran for president and gotten votes while they were in jail, but none have won.

      Why do we name airports in honor of people? Airports suck. We should name airports after bad people as punishment. “Yeah, it’s a great house but it’s in the flight path of Andy Dick International Airport.” “They lost my luggage at Cosby Field.” “I had a 6 hour layover at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.”
