As has been noted, this discussion is distasteful and ignorant; the ill-disguised glee of some appears premature.

As Lawrence O'Donnell said last evening, the health of nominees and candidates has never been a serious issue in any presidential election. That, he emphasized, is why we have a VICE president: when a president is unable to continue, the VP takes over.

There are policies and procedures in place if a presidential nominee steps aside before the oath of office. I suggest that the gleeful await developments.
