And honestly I think Vance limping into office would be more dangerous than a refutation of the next GOP candidate, assuming we have any more elections

Absolutely, if he has to run. But if he limps into the position, incumbency and inertia might carry enough weight

That’s the thing though - congressional GOPers will do what Trump says because for whatever reason, they’re terrified of him. Vance doesn’t carry the same cachet, and the smart ones will see which way the wind is blowing and there’ll be a lot more obstruction

I appreciate your point, but I can’t help but think they will just act in lockstep for “the party” as long as they can, and even if they demand more policy concessions that’s not necessarily a good thing

IDK you have a point but typically the mob falls apart when the boss is gone. Scores are settled, crimes are exposed, charges filed, that sort of thing. The operations often never recover. One can dream

Even if it goes that way, we have so much work we need to do and limping into power isn’t the best start

We need the kind of reform that will take a decade, if not a generation, and maintaining that political focus has proven extremely difficult over the last 30 years.

Onwards and upwards reads like CS Lewis to me, I don’t immediately recognize “Excelsior”
