5. Trump's death in office would not be good

If he died before the mid-terms, we would lose the person who voters now despise. Most people (not Trump followers, but decent people) do not like to speak ill of the dead.

If Trump died in office, it's not like Harris becomes President, but it would elevate J.D. Vance. That's not a good thing.

I'd rather beat Trump's Republican Party like a drum in 2026 and 2028 and then if he dies a miserable, painful natural death I wouldn't shed a tear.
