    The GOP is too scared of pissing off Trump or his base to even consider doing something like that. If they were a smart evil organization they would have dumped Trump long ago.

      Perhaps. Think about it from Trump’s perspective. How much does he trust any of them?

      Trump is a useful idiot. Vance is Thiel-backed Heritage Foundation pick. As will likely most of his cabinet.

      After Jan 20, regardless of which way the next 5 months go, he is useless to the GOP, Heritage, and Thiel. In fact, if anything he’d be a liability to them.

      This wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

        That’s what I thought when he lost in 2020. Yet they stuck with him anyway. Clearly they’ve decided they need his cult, no matter what.

          First term they were flying by the seat of their pants. They were the dog that caught the car.

          Second term they won’t need him anymore. They’ve got plans. They’ve got courts. They’ve even already got some of the legislation.
