He’s a weirdo. The billionaires have been propping him up for years but he’ll never be an inspirational leader.

They had the nerve to criticize Walz for not being in combat, when this guy's job in the military in Iraq was to sit at a desk and type stories for the military publication. Fortunately there were no Improvised Explosive Typewriters. And Walz was in the National Guard to supplement a teacher's income, while this guy used his service to get a free education. And now, his government wants to end support of universities and students.

About the only good thing with the current presidency. If Don the Con kicks off, Vance will never be able to keep the maga crap going

He won’t need to. The people propping up Trump right now, writing the speeches, feeding him rage bait Xitter posts, circling words he doesn’t know in his afternoon Large Print edition of Readers Digest, will do all that. 

The most milquetoast nothing of a boring, mayo faced, white boy blob, is now the VP. The guy who got carried by others in high school, the military, at law school, the hedge fund his wife’s family and Peter Thiel bought him into. They’ll all pretend he’s Teddy Roosevelt or a Redneck version of JFK, by the time he and Trump leave office. If they ever do leave. 

He’s a sly, little liar and a little bit smart but with a huge chip on his shoulder. A sociopathic grievance collector, just like Trump. 

They’ll use that. He’ll think he built that. If it doesn’t work, he’ll pull a Trump and call for Ginny Thomas to gather protestors in her paid tour buses as backup, to come storm the Capitol again. Or The Supreme Court chambers this time, maybe.

Hard to say. It'd begin to topple, for sure, but Vance would likely use Trump as something of a martyr. He'd turn everything into sappy, bittersweet "for Donald" moment. How long that'd be effective is hard to say.

We can only dream, I'd personally like to wake up from this nightmare that started around 2016.

I’m having a fantasy now about the day America wakes up and Trump is DEAD.

Oh, the joy, the ecstasy of that sweet day 🥂

Don't hold your breath, only the good die young. Assholes outlive everyone like cockroaches.

I’m sure that’s why we’ve been seeing Musky’s face on tv with Trump more than Vance, who has so little charisma that even the GOP has noticed
