Republicans really don't want to see JD Vance as the face of the party for the next three years and change.

I mean, HW got a term after Reagan...
JD becoming president isn't any kind of win, he'd have all the same goals as trump, he'd just be more competent at it. So more damage would be done.
The problem existed before trump, it will exist after him. If he dies and everyone pretends shit is magically normal again, we're fucked.
It's like how the Allies stopped trying to kill Hitler after a while. You don't cut the head off the snake when it keeps biting itself.
MAGAts love Trump specifically because of his swagger, bravado, and his cult of personality, which empowered him to do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted.
JD Vance has zero appeal, and will not have the same diplomatic immunity that Trump had.
JD Vance has zero appeal,
He has more than HW did...
But more importantly, he doesn't come with as many built in opposition votes. Because prior iterations of the DNC made it all about trump personally.
Republicans had consistently lost all elections without Trump on the ballot. Maybe for the top brass of the republican party JD Vance is better, but for the base he's a no-one.
they have to wait until uh, jan 22 2026? i think for him to get two and a half terms without any legal wrangling
He's on live right now at a presser 2:09PM CST...dammit... i'm so disappointed.
Damn. Hopes crushed today. Father time will come, as he comes for us all eventually.
I like how he used a golf picture. Like, he's not even pretending to be working.
Jeffery Epstein
What’s the weather forecast for the golf course?
Die! You Cheeto chimp fat ass motherfucker.
PURE masculinity! So virile, I’d bet he could be dictator for 20 years ez!
Too bad he doesn’t have a soul for JD Vance to suck
That's half-assed enough to make it likely that Trump did it.
Once again, he makes it worse than if he left it alone.
Learn from Lake Wobegon. Never miss an opportunity to keep your mouth shut.
A lesson this halfwit never learned
Par for the course.
