US President Donald Trump says Russia has made a “pretty big concession” to end the war in Ukraine by stopping short of taking the “whole country.”

      After he leaves office, I don’t really want to think about him again.

            Vance doesn’t have the cult following and won’t be able to garner the loyalty. Cults always fail apart when they lose their leader

              True. Maga hates the man. As soon as he’s no longer “under Trump’s guidance” he won’t be able to afford much.

                They’ll fall in line behind him but it won’t be the same. With the eyeliner and the fictitious origin story, I’d fully expect President Vance to go full Gaddafi and get dragged up with increasingly flamboyant uniforms that’d make Elton John look like an accountant.

            The Republicans will be all too busy backstabbing each other for the foreseeable future in such a scenario. Trump is in the position he is in now because a majority of GOP voters have a stupid fucking cultish worship of him and nobody else. They tried pushing for other less erratic GOP candidates, but they had managed to brainwash their moronic voters so effectively that they are no longer capable of worshipping anyone else but Trump.

            As soon as he is gone, it is going to be a free-for-all among the Republicans, an absolute clusterfuck of a fight to become the next Trump and Vance is not going to be even remotely close to being a candidate for that. He is Trumps pick because he is a spineless vapid non-entity with even less brains than Trump himself. He will not be in a position to do much except getting betrayed by his own party for the rest of the term.
