    It’s so nakedly transparent. I honestly hope all politicians are this bad at hiding their naked lust for power. At least that way you know you can’t believe anything they say. No false hopes.

    Trump is so old and unhealthy that it wouldn’t be surprising if he just keeled over and died of natural causes at any point.

    It’s pretty obvious that Trump believes that he’s going to live for a long time and that he’ll remain in control as president or whatever for all of that time. You don’t build a ballroom if you think you’ll be out in three years.

    Vance is like a vulture, circling around waiting for Trump to die so he can swoop in. His best case scenario is that Trump becomes a dictator and he succeeds him. So, Vance will say and do anything right now.

    The operating principle of JD Vance’s life in politics seems to be as follows: How can I serve every powerful person while appealing to literally no normal person? There is no boot he won’t lick, no special interest he won’t kowtow to, no family member he won’t throw under the bus, in order to advance…

    Making him the ideal GOP candidate for President. Trump was never going to get a third term, mostly because it’s illegal, but the GOP doesn’t want him, either. He’ll have served his purpose after the mid-terms, then he’ll be out one way or the other, mark my words.
