        Do not let perfection be the enemy of good.

        Vance does not have any of the charisma nor the following that Trump has. His ability to coalesce a ruling party is low. It’s why Trump is still in power.

          The bigger issue as I see it is that Trump wants to rule by charisma first. I don’t think Vance particularly gives a shit if people curse his name - meaning that, at the first sign of things getting out of hand, I think he’s more willing to hit the “start killing protestors until the streets are red” button.

          Yep! Add in that what’s left of MAGA will viciously turn on Vance for all the things they could bring themselves to pin on Trump. Vance’ll be a copegoat.

        With no charisma or leverage to get anything extreme done. It isn’t their daughter in law that controls the GOP and is able to fund primary challengers.

          You think they’d impeach the younger smarter asshole who wants to hurt their enemies?

          No fucking way. The Republicans want this. Trump is only useful for his distraction otherwise they would have stopped musk.

          Plus it gives them an incumbent to run in 2028 (if they aren’t already planning to run Trumps corpse again).

            They’d be morons to run Vance in 2028. As sitting VP he can’t fill a high school auditorium.

              Only if the US still has legitimate elections. Guess we’ll see during the midterms.

            I didn’t say anything about impeachment. What would matter if they did anyway? A presidential impeachment has never ended in consequences. No, they just want have the ability to jam through controversial bills or wars. Congress won’t just go along with them.
