    We've had close calls in the past - Horace Greeley, William Crawford - but we've never had a major party presidential nominee die or be seriously incapacitated during the general election. It's one of a bunch of ticking time bombs in our system that hasn't gone off yet.https://twitter.com/Henway1957/status/1118250212387061760 …

    I hate to be morbid, but between Trump and these other geezers there are actuarial issues staring us in the face that no one mentions.

        We've had assassination attempts on candidates - Teddy Roosevelt shot in the chest in October 1912, FDR shot at as POTUS-elect in 1933, RFK killed & George Wallace paralyzed while running for nominations.

        Jeff Greenfield wrote a pretty entertaining book on this topic. https://www.amazon.com/Peoples-Choice-Novel-Jeff-Greenfield/dp/0452277051 …

        That is a fun book. Interesting sidelights on the life of congressional staffers, and the main character represents a valiant attempt on Greenfield's part to think his way into the mind of a middle-aged woman who identifies as a movement conservative.

        not during the election, but Wilson and Coolidge's tenures give pause.

        I mean, post convention presumably the VP nominee would be slotted in without too much logistical difficulty. Where it would get sticky is if a nominee had a major health event- significant stroke or major MI of the sort mid-general but survived.
