The pros and cons of John Mccain suffering a stroke on the debate floor (the democratic perspective)

PROS:

By having a stroke, Mccain will have given the American public hard evidence of his hithertofore hinted at enfeebled state.

He will potentially withdraw from the election, due to falling into a vegetative state.

He may not survive.

CONS:

By having a stroke, Mccain will incite the pity of the American public, who will then vote for him.

And he may not survive.
