 A sitting politician that dies of old age will not be getting a very kind eulogy from me. 
 @53de482a Depends on their role in politics. Why shouldn't people dying of old age have representation in our representative democracy? But just like we expect people to retire from an active role in society, they probably should do the same in politics. 
 @a0b872c9 I thought Trump's business empire was already running on donations. I think that was partially the reason for continuing challenging the election result. He needed a way to justify donations before he could start his presidential campaign after midterms. That means his business empire will collapse when donations dry up.
