One thing’s for sure: JD Vance will be shit on and thrown under the bus.

That’s The Turmp Guarantee!

Vance seems like the kind of sleaze that would throw Trump under the bus too. Honestly I think it's gonna come down to who gets the opportunity first. Its like a sith master and apprentice.

I didn't really know anything about him until recently, but from what I've been reading, that's spot on. He doesn't have principles except whatever is expedient in the moment. He's happy to fellate Trump now, but if there's an opportunity to get more power for himself, he's going to take it, regardless of Trump.

Oh man please let it be soon. Let the two rip each other and the party apart trying to throw each other under the bus

We can only hope. I'm more wary of the torch being passed on to him. Trump has a limited shelf life, but Vance is young.

And before the wave of "Trump doesn't share power", I know. I'm not talking about what Trump intends, I'm talking about all of Trumps powerful allies who want continued influence after Trump.

Trump will try to neuter Vance, for sure. But I have my doubts that he can pull it off.

What makes trump “work” - the con - on all these moronic shitheads is something Vance does not and will never possess. They may mutate it into some more overt crypto-fascist money cult, but they’ll never get the batshit dialed in to the sweet spot they have at the moment.

The thing is they only need this level of fanatic obedience from their base to get IN. Once they are, and they're able to warp the government to their vision, everything else will fall into place.

Over/under on how long it takes Vance to flip to the prosecution in some as-yet unknown future case against Trump?

Oh I think he’s already got the fake-tooth-cyanide-capsule implanted. He can never turn, only die.
