The problem with JD is he's less likeable the more people learn about him, he probably won't be popular enough to win anything on his own. His ideal scenario would be Trump meeting his maker before 2028.
I agree. As horrible as Trump is there are enough people who like the oily used car salesmanship of Trump. And he played a smart businessman on TV. Vance is smarter, but sooo creepy.
What probably will happen is Musk will takeover as President since our laws mean nothing. The Latinos and Black men who voted for Trump will be shocked when all the White South Africans (open immigration to them) get here and Musk institutes apartheid. Don't say we didn't warn you.
I was thinking the opposite. Trump thinks he's tight with Musk and Thiel, but they *can't* have any respect for him. On the other hand, Vance was handpicked to have that presidenty look.
But Vance has turned out to be uniquely unlikeable. I think as his star is falling straight down, his function now is more one of insurance. Trump seems to disdain Vance as much as the rest of us. The harder Vance tries to be mini-me, the worse he comes off.
He’s got the online right wing audience firmly behind him. I am in a relative bubble, so I don’t say this with judgment. But talk to someone who might look reasonable and quickly reveals himself as a Christian nationalist. I’m talking about the polite dad who coaches soccer, college educated, $400k-$800k, doesn’t drive a pick up truck.
That guy “really doesn’t like” Trump, but of course HAD TO vote for him (three times). He will vote for him a fourth time, without a doubt, but he also loves Vance, Tucker and musk.
That's true. However, Trump was created by a storm of disinformation and if Musk and company have a side deal with Putin and/or Xi, another storm could be arranged.
Are you telling me that we can't replace one ignorant, incompetent racist with another ignorant, incompetent racist is 2028?
Nope, the current one will assume the presidency for life. Luckily for JD he's a young guy, he can afford to be patient.
This assumes some other strongman doesn't toss JD out a convenient window.

Maybe they can send him to one-on-one charm school with someone like Paul Manafort, like Putin did with Yanukovych.
Vance doesn't have the MAGA mob behind him, they only love Trump.
And he's not likable.
