Except Mike Pence steps in as President, we get a constitutional crisis, the election gets put on hold as both sides sue each other over a new election date that gives the Republicans time to have a convention and select a candidate. I tprobably has to make its way to the Supreme Court which would be unformed. And we get even greater instability, riots and violence as conspiracies swirl if the Pubs push for power or the Dems push for power.
Its better that Trump gets better as soon as possible, loses the election and then we hopefully get stability.
Trump dying would be far worse for stability and the orderly transition of power, and would probably further rip the country apart.
