If Vance became President, I don't think he'd keep any of the Trump loyalists around. All Thiel people.

I just assume there’s a lot of overlap. Miller, Vaught, RFK jr seem to be doing the most/broadest damage. There are no good appointments in the regime.

He would t have the same political capital as Trump. In theory, yes, he COULD be worse. But I don’t see house and senate R’s carrying water for JD Vance.

I just don’t think he could manage that cabinet. None of those morons have any loyalty to him. He’d have to fire them all which would be a different shitstorm.

Although thinking about it for another minute, if he arrested the first cabinet secretary who challenged him and tried them for sedition and treason that might calm things down for him.

trump isn't all there, so he's letting all the bad people do their thing, while jimmy would concentrate his dystopic dream into into a few key areas. honestly, it would be easier to oppose jimmy just recluse he would be more focused.

gop does tend to fall in line, but vance is only 3 months older than lebron james, served fewer than 2 years in the senate, only did bare minimum 4 years in military to scam college tuition, has a jd but was never actually a lawyer... he's not in position to lord over other pols, even if potus.
