Nah.

Worst case for them is no one is elected to president, but Pence is elected to VP, who then takes over for the president as he's next in line, then he appoints another VP.

Technically speaking the names on the ballots are stand ins for electors to be pledged for the candidates in question, and those electors (as, largely, party loyalists) can be directed to vote for a replacement candidate instead. The plausibility of this strategy varies by state law and timing-- there are candidate-replacement procedures but using them this close to the election might not even be possible, and it's not clear how faithless elector laws would apply here.

Someone from AZ posted a picture of their ballot in the old thread and iirc it did say Biden/Trump next to the check mark but underneath it in parenthesis it had a bunch of other names which I assume were the electors that were actually being voted on.

Even if they can't be directed to vote for someone else, as long as the VP is elected and alive on inauguration day he or she would take over for the vacant president as next in line, and then would be free to appoint another VP.

Neither of these things. Because people don't vote for the President, they vote for electors who will vote in the "real" election, no one has to do anything except tell the electors who they should actually vote for, and both major parties say the VP candidate will be the presidential candidate and they'll pick a new VP real quick.

It wouldn't be automatic, but the RNC would likely name Pence the nominee, yes. Of course, ballots are already printed and cast in a lot of places, this will not happen tomorrow or anything like that, and things get murky if he died right before the election and even murkier if he died after the election but before the electoral college vote.

So, someone who knows more about the Rona, does having symptoms this early almost certainly suggest he'll get worse symptoms later? Because I want to know how much I should temper my expectations.

Also, it's weird thinking "Wow, it's almost certain that someone high up in the Republican Party will die this month".

They probably have to workshop what manner of nonsense they're going to chant together. Since COVID being a democratic hoax may turn out to be hard to keep hammering on, they have to plan their routine so nobody's in the wrong key. I imagine they'll either try to hammer the "tolerant left" on not being kind or something, but if he actually plops off it wouldn't surprise me if they claim it was a terrorist BLM/ANTIFA plot that killed him.

It's treading toward conspiracy theory, but they're so deep in denial and the necessity of "opening the economy" that I don't think they'll take the hit of COVID being what does him in. They'll probably pivot to him surviving the disease/treatment, but being killed by something unrelated or underlying to avoid people suddenly supporting social distancing from the shock of it killing someone they actually care about.

It finally hit their inner circle, exposing how incompetent and unprepared they were. This is the media message not “hopes and prayers” for Trump. They made their bed now they have to lie in it. They didn’t give a drat with killing our grandparents or kids why should we care about any of them?

This should also be the message of the day, turnabout is fair play. I don’t see why Hillary shouldn’t be out there saying it, it would be too sweet and cause the right to melt down.

This is why you don’t suspend the campaign or give in to decorum. They didn’t care about Biden’s camp, now is not the time to take the high road.

It is almost certainly too late to change ballots across several states. In the (still unlikely) event Trump passes away, voters still have to decide whether to vote for Trump / Pence or Biden / Harris. The Republicans would then, presumably, hold an emergency meeting of its 150-member national committee to pick a replacement ticket that it would direct its electors to vote for.

The last bit of this process might get a little messy given faithless elector laws across the several states. Unclear to me whether said states would require electors to vote for “Trump” even in the event of his absence from the ticket
