    REALLY curious how legit the claims are but…

    Yeah. The Democrats deciding it would be hard so why try sounds about right.

    As it stands? It is the Democrats race to lose (if we have elections next year…). But on the off chance that trump et al re-open the government, give people our previous baseline of shitty healthcare, and repeal most of the tariffs? It will be a red landslide. Fortunately, that would involve an old rapist acknowledging he was wrong and…

    Fuck… I now see an actual downside to fuckface dying. vance et al can pretend all the bad was him.

      Just remember that Trump dying would set off an internal power struggle. Nobody likes or give a shit who or what Vance supports, so he would have precisely fuck-all a far as pull in down ballot elections. For whatever reason, the base will slobber over every word trump blurts out so any dissent is crippling in a Republican, that would disappear and every Republican worth the title of ‘politician’ would take advantage of a Vance leadership as a once in a lifetime opportunity out-Trump the competition, but without the centralizing firehose of bullshit trump has been able to use to distract from issues as they come up. Right now trump is able to distract from almost literally any topic by being a force to deal with immediately as he sets other fires to deal with. Vance will have the position, butwon’t have that talent and by virtue of their position no other GOP personality will have the power.

      Basically don’t stop looking forward to a least bad outcome like natural causes.
