Vance swears an oath to uphold the big lie. Donny is happy. Interviewers can't get him to budge off it.

In return, WHEN DT steps down, Vance pardons him, something his kangaroo court says (privately) that he can't do himself.

Checks all the boxes (except for state convictions, which they are working on to squash)

THAT'S WHY WE VOTE BLUE.

STOP THE "DEAL"

His days are numbered, sure, but he won't kick the bucket within the next year. Even if he loses this election, he'll be kingmaker for at least the next few years. Even if he's in prison or flees the country.

They need him to keep the “peasants” interested. The figurehead that gets all the accolades while behind the scenes they begin installing Project 2025. I’m far more afraid of those behind the scenes guys than I am of trump.

And unless he gets offed by the Thiel, Musk and Vance syndicate even in his demented state he’ll remain preside

Oh yeah, Abby Normal!

Trump's chosen cabinet isn't going to replace him.
And if I had a nickel for every DU prediction of Trump's imminent demise I'd own the internet.

I mean, have people not watched Trump for the last nine years?

I'm SO TIRED of this ridiculous nonsense being posted over and over and over again. Day after day after day.

It's like saying, gee, I hope everyone realizes Putin is a stalking horse!

The only place I ever see this nonsense is on DU and a few lefty blogs.

Hasn't happened yet. I suspect he'll be around a lot longer than many assume. Some have been adamant that he won't even make to election day, though that's died off a bit of late.

JD Vance won’t be the MAGA King.

Et tu JD?

took/takes marching orders from the "corporate" class. Well, I might give Goldwater an exception. He scared the shit out of everybody.

WillyBilly won't do anything different from The Felon. Dan Quayle is smarter than this dipshit. They all have strings attached to their limbs and jaws and the Fat Cat Rat Fuckers behind all of these assholes are pulling them.

If they do go 25th Amendment on Donny, his cult will never forgive them. His cult IS the Repuke base. Sorry, fascists, but the orange loon is tied around your necks like a tiberian bat. As Spock would say anyway.

trap over the last decade, but they'll still think they can do it. It's bizarre really.

if they acted the way Trump has for months now (but it's getting worse every day!). Republican power brokers know and see this too and are just trying to use him to win the election then they will dump him in a heartbeat. I do question how the rank & file cult members would react to that. I don't think a lot of them will be pleased with JD Vance usurping Trump's "power".

It's a culture of mutual abuse and manipulation.

If he wins, he’s the President and he isn’t going to let anyone take him out of the office. If Vance tries to pull that shit Тяцмр will destroy him.

As far as being a puppet, of course. He already was one. He knows nothing about being President and has no interest in doing the job beyond giving dumb speeches and acting like an asshole on the world stage.

They don't want him - they want a less distracted version of Trump.

did they advise him to STFU because he is so ridiculous?
