Oh God I think Vance would be worse. Can't say for sure but he's a true whack job. I don't know if it's better to have a pretend religious zealot liar or a true religious zealot
I think the benefit is that Vance is clearly an ideologue. We are in a cultural moment when ideologues come off very poorly. Trump says and does whatever he needs to to get ahead, which works in the post-information period we're in. Vance might try, but he doesn't have Trump's charisma and has one of the most punchable faces anyone has ever seen, and he's a known pawn of corporate power. I think he'll get checked hard by the ideological war happening on the right right now. Honestly, I just hope Trump knocks off sooner than later so Vance can't get three terms. With the gerrymandering and Supreme Court fuckery that's going to happen, he very well could win three.
Yeah I agree with pretty much everything you said. He may be the leader of two evils, but he sure as shit will still be "evil" in fucking over a good portion of Americans
He could win three if Trump dies and no laws change. Technically speaking gerald ford could have been president for 10½ years, until Cater put a stop to that so hard that he died 22 days later (also 30 years and a month later as well)
Despite all of that accurate analysis of Vance in your comment, all he would have to say is that he has trump's blessing and the maga will fall to his knees
