    That’s irrelevant. Why is he still president should be the question.

          So not let perfection be the enemy of good.

          Vance does not have any of the charisma nor the following that Trump has. His ability to coalesce a ruling party is low. It’s why Trump is still in power.

            The bigger issue as I see it is that Trump wants to rule by charisma first. I don’t think Vance particularly gives a shit if people curse his name - meaning that, at the first sign of things getting out of hand, I think he’s more willing to hit the “start killing protestors until the streets are red” button.

          With no charisma or leverage to get anything extreme done. It isn’t their daughter in law that controls the GOP and is able to fund primary challengers.

            You think they’d impeach the younger smarter asshole who wants to hurt their enemies?

            No fucking way. The Republicans want this. Trump is only useful for his distraction otherwise they would have stopped musk.

            Plus it gives them an incumbent to run in 2028 (if they aren’t already planning to run Trumps corpse again).
