Trump is a business guy with a vision.
Clear succession policy is good business.
“When Biden was vice president, Obama said, ‘sorry, I’m endorsing Hillary.’ “
Joe got him back by immediately endorsing Kameltoe after he dropped out. Joe is one vindictive SOB. He’d rather screw the whole party than acquiesce to a selection process.

Rubio supporting JD now is smart. Rubio may just lock himself as Sec State for another 8 years. Not a bad gig and who knows in 8 years, might be his turn. If not, he’s fine.
I think DeSantis has more fighting spirit than Vance or Rubio, and it’s the fighting spirit that lifts Trump beyond staggering intellect, puissance, and moral and intellectual clarity.
Don’t underestimate his Internet game. He has embraced the memes and turned one of them into a Halloween costume...including the riff about thanking people like the zelensky barb and turning around in a circle. I didn’t get what that circle thing was about until I saw the meme. People loved it especially younger crowd .
Desantis doesn’t have the personality and neither does Rubio .. a lot will happen before next election but at this point Vance is the standout
JD has the experiences of life, IQ, common horse sense, work ethic, humility, and love of country; thus the ability to lead America. IMO
I was told by someone on this forum recently that ‘as a Jew, JD scares the hell out of me’. Not sure what the implied meaning was, but suffice it to say Vance will have a well funded challenger in 2028.

As I recall, TR did endorse Taft 1908 (not VP Fairbanks) but did run against him 1912.
