    Wouldn’t make a difference, the people controlling Trump will just control Vance on the same way. Trump isn’t coming up with any of this shit on his own. You know he’s not sitting around thinking of what he’s going to do next, they are feeding him information and what to do

      It won’t work. MAGA is a classic cult of personality, and there is no #2. Lots of people think they are the heirs apparent, like Vance, Rubio, Hegseth, Don, Jr., etc., but that’s just their narcissim talking. Once Trump assumes room temperature, there will be attempts to claim the crown, but his base will evaporate. They love him, and only him.

      And without that base, the rest of MAGA can’t survive.
