PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel says he's worried about whoever Republicans put forth in 2028, even if it's his ally Vice President JD Vance.
During an interview on the "MD Meets" podcast posted on Thursday, Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner asked Thiel whether he thinks Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio would be a better GOP standard-bearer in 2028.
"I am still a Vance partisan," Thiel said. "I worry that it will be very hard for either candidate to win. And so, I don't know, my pessimistic thought is that that's the wrong question."
Before he entered politics, Vance worked at Mithril Capital, a firm Thiel cofounded. In his new memoir, Vance wrote about Thiel's effect on his life and called his mentor "possibly the smartest person I'd ever met." During Vance's heated 2022 Ohio US Senate GOP primary, Thiel donated $15 million to a pro-Vance super PAC, which, alongside Trump's endorsement, helped propel the future vice president to victory.
Thiel, who has described himself as a libertarian, has become a GOP megadonor, though he mostly stayed away from the 2024 election. Earlier this year, Thiel made a $3 million donation to a group that has worked to propose California's proposed one-time wealth tax.

Peter is a creepy effeminate weirdo. He can donate money to anyone he wants but he should stay out of the spotlight.
I understand Thiel’s apprehension. US Presidential politics is cyclical—Republican then democrat then Republican, etc...FDR was an anomaly. It will seem as though the Trump/Republicans have been in power since forever—when it was only 2 terms with a vegetable inbetween. ...
I worried that the country would not survive an Obama administration, and we almost didn’t —The effects of the Biden administration are still being unearthed —with the current democrat party, we would not survive such a DSA administration. They want us gone...
Two years ago, after Horizontal crashed from those antics, the autopsy was catastrophic. It was so bad, they delayed releasing the findings. Done. Kaput. Fini. Today, nothing has changed yet the commies VAULT to the lead? I’m not buyin’ it.
DNC releases 2024 autopsy, with chair apologizing for ‘creating an even bigger distraction’
Define 2 terms of Reagan and GW Bush, please. The other side is Greasy Gruesome, Kamalcohol, and Miss HeeHaw.
Well, Theil is one of the big reasons they will have trouble. He’s a dangerous, but rich, kook of high order.
Peter Thiel is an anagram for The Reptile
Do with that as you will….

Well said.
Like you said, the next time they'll take over, this country is going to be an one party state permanently.
Trump may declare his stolen Presidency entitles him to another term.

Not according to the SCOTUS but feel free to bring it up to them.
We can have a different opinion but Rubio is eligible to run for President.
You'll have a better case regarding Ted Cruz because he was born in Canada but the SCOTUS is going to punt on that one until Cruz becomes a serious candidate (which is never).
Then nominate someone else.
I don’t think he understands anything about real Americans.
Rubio is the strongest for the General and he should be able to beat any rat l can think of.
Marco Rubio is ineligible for the Presidency since he was NOT born to two citizen parents - they didn’t become citizens until after his birth.
Not according to the SCOTUS but feel free to bring it up to them.

That would be OK by me
I'm not on the Supreme Court. There is no case. Unless you decide to bring it up. They only take up 70 to 80 cases each year. And there are up to 10,000 requests...
When did Marco become a citizen?
