Seems like Grampy is doing everything he can dream up to make sure Vance isn't "the heir to MAGA."

I think he'll string Rubio along. I personally do not see "President Little Marco" in 2028.

I don't spend time agonizing over the "But what if Trump REFUSES TO LEAVE in 2029" bullshit. If we elect a Democratic President, on January 20, 2029, TRUMP'S Secret Service becomes THAT PRESIDEN'T Secret Service, and it is within that president's right to have Trump PHYSICALLY REMOVED if necessary.

Donald "Commander Cokespoon" Trump Jr has gone on record as saying that he thinks he's "earned" a shot at the White House and the MAGAt throne. Words fail me when attempting to sum up how completely fucked America would be if they enabled that.

Maybe Trump has some residual "I didn't fuck over Mike Pence enough" aggression, and because Vance is the VP, he's slapping him by proxy.

When mental illness is at play, you never really know for sure.

As VP, Shady is the lynchpin (deliberate word choice there)... Hugin Sunday #1
I'm sure Trump had rather have Don, Jr. What is scary is that if he runs there is a good chance he would win. :( patricia92243 Sunday #2

For invoking the 25th. The Mandarine Candidate is as usual projecting his fears of someone around him growing a spine and doing what must be done with threats and intimidation. Not usually the way to motivate others, but it seems to be working so far with his Retrumplicans.

Coke, Jr is a joke and I'm not sure any make-over by the GOP is going to improve that weak-chinned imbecile.
