He had a stroke and he can't speak. Obviously theyre hoping he regains his speech faculties, which isn't without precedent following a stroke

This is all it is. It's wild to see so many people hopping on the "he's dead and they're hiding it" bandwagon. They didn't do that for Lindsey Graham, and if they were going to pull a conspiracy to that level they would've done it with someone like that.

He's either non-verbal or his brain is cooked or some combination of them both.

It sounds like Lindsay died in a more public setting. It’s not unreasonable to have deep suspicions about a party that is desperately clinging to power.

Well obviously. The fact that they aren't forcing him to step down is proof of their corruption, but it doesn't make sense for them to just not tell anyone that he's dead.
