When I heard Vance's statement (first and most vociferous) blaming Biden's rhetoric for the attempted assassination, I thought there is Trump's VP. Full stop. Hillbilly Vance will be the bulldog while Trump plays a more milder and gentler version. (at least for a while)

Trump's idea of kinder and gentler is to invite all of us to bow down before him and never say a bad word about him again. If we don't agree, what a rotten bunch we are.

His surviving an assassination attempt does not make him a hero in my eyes. He is still the same obnoxious grifter he always was.

Well at least if we don't bend the knee to Trump he doesn't has dragons to incinerate us like on House of the Dragon. :)

You may wish he did have dragons before long - one quick burn (some screaming) may end up being preferable to watching our country incrementally burn….sorry

Wow! Brilliant analysis. I can't watch any of this. I makes me feel nauseated. But you're so right. Four years of this. Help.

Not sure I can agree with your conclusion, Dave, that CFT will play second fiddle to anyone, let alone the guy who is next in line to him, and capable of initiating the 25th Amendment. OK, I doubt that CFT knows about those fine points, but the fear and loathing of competition is baked in to his .... whatever he has that is subect to baking in.

I heard it suggested (in jest) that Trump should pick himself. (not that he cares what the constitution says)

As his own VP? That means the Speaker of the House is POTUS if CFT buys the farm.
