Journal damn_registrars's Journal: Is the GOP considering killing Trump? 4
This sounds like a crackpot idea, for the GOP to actually murder one of their own.
On the other hand though, they have few other options. If they let his administration collapse on its own, their entire party might go down with it - and there is almost nothing the GOP won't do to conserve itself and its power.
We know they have a collection of strange characters already with medical knowledge. We know that Trump's health forms are so full of lies that they are nearly an impeachable offense on their own (as he signed them to be truthful while knowing them not to be). We know from history that the person who takes the reigns after the death of a POTUS goes in without the baggage of the decedent and often with an uptick in support as a result of what they have endured.
Trump is just a conman out for his own ends. He has pulled off a con worth likely tens of millions to his brand at this point, and now he's on a downward spiral that he can't improve on.
Now certainly the GOP can't just have him shot somewhere, they would then be confronted with their problematic positions on guns. They need to be more intelligent on the matter - which is where their medical professionals come in. Regardless of how tall you think Trump is, there is no debating the fact that he is overweight. If they can convince us that he died of a heart attack they get all the benefits and none of the blame.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not going to kill the POTUS. I despise him greatly but I would not be willing to go to jail to end this mayhem. I would much rather take my family up to Canada for an extended - as in until we have job offers up there - vacation and leave this giant dumpster fire behind.

First, he's a lame duck. A doufus. As unpopular after 6 months as Nixon after 6 years. The damage he can do is limited. His replacement doesn't have the same limitations.
Second, you'd be depriving more than a billion people of their daily laugh.

That is not terribly important, really. And even as a total failure he still has managed to force the US Senate to start debating the mystery "repeal and ... ummm, something else" bill pertaining to the health insurance bill that was signed into law by the previous POTUS.
The damage he can do is limited.
We're not real sure of that. He doesn't worry about the rule of law, and he surrounds

You forget that even McCain said he wouldn't vote for the proposed replacement. Let them discuss it - it will put them all on the spot when it comes to where they stand. This is the only way you'll ever have accountability for the 2018 midterms. People are watching this.
McCain:
“We’re getting nothing done my friends, we’re getting nothing done,” he said. “All we've really done this year is confirm Neil Gorsuch.”
On the effort to repeal and replace Obamacare, he said: "All we’ve managed to do is make more popular a policy that wasn’t very popular when we started trying to get rid of it."
The fiery Senator went on to condemn the lack of “regular order” in the Senate, and the secretive tactics employed by both parties. He accused the GOP leadership of devising their health care proposal “behind closed doors” and then “then springing it on sceptical members, trying to convince them it’s better than nothing”.
That he doesn't care about the rule of law and surrounds himself with others of the same ilk is great - it makes him unable to see the pitfalls he's heading for, so he routinely screws up and gets blocked in the courts. Pence would b
