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.

Let me repeat-Rubio is needed for the long term permanent transformation of South America. He could do it as El Presidente of Cuba. Imagine Cuba on the transformation fast-track. Give them the oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as they will steadily need more energy. Throw in all the old Ford Fiestas and Broncos languishing in our wrecking yards to fix so that they stay locked in to American autos. Send Spanish speaking MAGA teenagers down there for the summer to answer questions about capitalism. Better yet gut the Peace Corps and put the remainder there to pretend they know better.
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

Yes, puissance is a good word seldom used. Thank you!

So true. Most politicians today have been damaged by the political science mindset which means they’re very skilled as obfuscation, and deception. Useless, and often dangerous to the principles of Republican governance.
JD has the experiences of life, IQ, common horse sense, work ethic, humility, and love of country; thus the ability to lead America. IMO
Desantis sees the economic aspects of government clearly but lacks national leadership skills, not inspiring enough to get many Liberty focused voters out of their comfy chairs IMHO. Better GOP governor than most.
Also has a faint whiff of GOPe on him, IMHO (like Rubio), IMHO and I would fear a ¡Jeb!-like moment: “Please clap...”
But I could be humbly wrong.
maybe he’ll grow a beard?
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.
Not this Jew. JD stands strongly for YESHUA.
I like Vance—but expect him to tap dance on “the issue”.
Both sides of it have major influence within the party—and he is going to try to placate all of them.
He will be very pro- Israel as I am, but aid should come to an end. For Israel’s sake also, as it makes them a dependent of us.
The problem is that there are elements of the GOP that will declare any reduction (much less elimination) of aid to Israel as anti-semitic.
Vance will try to find a middle ground (perhaps the one you proposed) but it will generate some heat.
Yeah, nothing like communicating with seldom used words.
Rubio? The same guy that had Never Trump, Lincoln Project member running his campaign in 2016? No thank you.
Rubio’s speeches can inspire. He can do it is Spanish to people who’ve had nothing to get excited about for 60+ years.
