(The Hill) — The fight for the 2028 Republican primary is beginning to take shape on the heels of the GOP’s devastating midterm losses, with Vice President JD Vance facing criticism for blaming the losses on the Iran war and other big-name Republicans appearing to stake out their own positions.

I’ve been calling him JD Pence.
Cruz can’t win.
The Hill says...
Let’s see how many in our midst take the bait from ‘The Hill’ and start to engage in intramural sniping at various Republicans who MAY be presidential contenders in 2028.
I note that the media is refraining from trying to trigger war between various 2028 DemocRAT potential candidates.
In one or two of the first stupid ceasefires, the joke was VP Vance was sent over to negotiate because if it failed he would be blamed and Trump was fine and if it succeeded Trump could take credit for “I sent Vance over with my plan which I formulated and now we have peace.”
Now it looks like Larry Kudlow and others are actually saying Vance convinced Trump to do the ceasefires and thought the regime was so weak from the bombing it would fall soon. When’s the last time Trump said “Oh, dear, I’m nervous, I don’t know, I’ll let you decide for me” about anything?
Nobody likes backstabbing cowards. Too bad he is UNDER Qatarlson
DeSantis watching the Trump inner circle burning down after the midterm election: “Aw, gee, what a shame. Guess I’ll be the front runner now. I had nothing to do with it.”
His disastrous MoU earned him ridicule from EVERY part of the political spectrum.
“ I’ve been calling him JD Pence.”

“Cruz can’t win”

So you guys TOOK THE BAIT, I see.
Cruz? Nah
.
Oh, please, not Cruz!
Kamala was supposed to ride to the White House as the triumphant Border Czar. Vance supposed to bring peace and a bright future for Iranian common citizens.
In the book and movie Advise and Consent the VP said: “Being a Vice President isn’t illegal. You aren’t literally a criminal but everybody treats you like one and avoids being close to you.”
So you guys took the bait also.
How quickly everyone seems to have forgotten that the negotiations with Iran BEFORE the stupid war were being carried out by a couple of real estate agents that Trump had sent over to Asia as his personal envoys.
No DeSantis.
No Cruz.
doubts about “Pance”
Rubio has at least proven himself.
