That’s kinda what I mean - if Trump dies now, the HF still has plenty of time left before the midterms to do the most damage possible using Vance. I’m sure they have their marionette strings tied to enough Republican Congress critters to get their stuff done even without Trump’s bullying & they can coach Vance on the rest. If Trump goes, I think I’d rather it be a LOT closer to the midterm election.
ETA: Don’t forget they’re the party in power, and can change all sorts of things that will affect their chances in the election, too. Those things don’t have to hold up legally, just cause legal delays that let them keep power.
