Former President Donald Trump has raised speculation he could try to swap out Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), plagued as he is by controversy for his comments about childless women, for conspiracy theorist and former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his running mate — even though ...
Because Desantis challenged him in the primary. It’s as simple and petty as that.
And also remember that the VP can Amendment 25 Trump straight out of office on day one (with some help from the cabinet), and will even have a plausible reason to do so. Trump has to be paranoid about his VP pick.
The GOP is too scared of pissing off Trump or his base to even consider doing something like that. If they were a smart evil organization they would have dumped Trump long ago.
Perhaps. Think about it from Trump’s perspective. How much does he trust any of them?
Oh, not at all, nor should he. I just know they’re too cowardly to do it.
Trump is a useful idiot. Vance is Thiel-backed Heritage Foundation pick. As will likely most of his cabinet.
After Jan 20, regardless of which way the next 5 months go, he is useless to the GOP, Heritage, and Thiel. In fact, if anything he’d be a liability to them.
This wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
That’s what I thought when he lost in 2020. Yet they stuck with him anyway. Clearly they’ve decided they need his cult, no matter what.
First term they were flying by the seat of their pants. They were the dog that caught the car.
Second term they won’t need him anymore. They’ve got plans. They’ve got courts. They’ve even already got some of the legislation.

The fun thing is that De Santis could Amendment 12 Trump straight out of office, as they both live in Florida.
