> [@kayT](#): > > Great list, **Andrew 21** , but don’t you want some alternates? If a player on my list dies before Jan. 1, I will post a revised list. The new player would be one who played the same position as the player he replaces. For example, if Guerrero dies, his replacement will be Eddie Robinson; if Shoendienst dies, his replacement will be Bobby Richardson. ---

**Addition by subtraction - Making America Great Again** Donald Trump - President. Long national nightmare. Rupert Murdoch - Inspiration for Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg. Charles G. Koch - Randolph Duke. David H. Koch - Mortimer Duke. Steve Bannon - Former White House Chief Strategist. A less-realistic Grima Wormtongue with liver disease. Mitch McConnell - Kentucky Senator. HORRIBLE human being, passable Testudine. Mike Pence - Vice President. True believer. Somehow NOT better than the alternative. Sean Hannity - Fox News personality. Ego that walks like a man. “World’s Most Punchable Face” winner 5 years running. Eats crackers like he owns the place. Ajit Pai - FCC Chairman. Fucking up the internet because wildly successful companies just aren’t getting rich enough, _fast enough_, goddammit. Scott Pruitt - in charge of ruining the EPA, and so, the environment. **ALTERNATES:** James O’Keefe - “Project Veritas” head. In a highly competitive year, “World’s Most Punchable Face” runner-up. Leaves a trail of slime wherever he goes. Martin Shkreli - Most hated man in healthcare. Bra-VO, sir! Erik Prince - Blackwater founder. The rumored would-be head of Trump’s rumored would-be secret police. Possible lizard-man. Clean list: Donald Trump Rupert Murdoch Charles G. Koch David H. Koch Steve Bannon Mitch McConnell Mike Pence Sean Hannity Ajit Pai Scott Pruitt Alternates: James O’Keefe Martin Shkreli Erik Prince [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/themed-celebrity-death-pool-2018/803332.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/themed-celebrity-death-pool-2018/803332.md?page=3)
