J D Vance is going to be the Republican presidential nominee in 28.

The Republican primaries with the representatives who stood up to Trump losing their seats, has convinced me that the MAGA base that votes in the primaries, is still dominating. They will nominate Vance, not someone who says it's time for a different tact.

Enter the race. We could see a ticket of Tucker, Owen's etc... it could be a shitshow of reality streaming influencers.

Also Trump Jr. is out polling JD, so there's that to deal with.

Trump, is alive, will absolutely shiv JD to keep the Trump family con alive.

Much of the right seems very enthralled with him just now, and if Trump gives an imprimatur or even just stays neutral, Rubio could surge.

No predictive value of course, but a big change from a few weeks ago.
