CNN: With Vice President JD Vance, a one-time Iran war skeptic, now tasked with brokering a deal to end it, President Donald Trump has been monitoring his progress closely and inquiring with various friends and advisers how theyd rank his performance
The president has wondered aloud how they think Vance compares to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a potential rival for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination.
Applegrove: Rubio is a dyslexic and Republicans always run dyslexics for president because they can counterpunch being visual thinkers. Reagan, Bush, Bush and Trump. All have various forms of dyslexia. Now Rubio. So JD is out. IMHO other leaders who were dyslexic: Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, Churchill, Woodrow Wilson, Kennedy, Napoleon, and Hitler.

Im not sure if theyre polling of course but J. V. was seen as the front runner if only for being VP. BTW Don Jr. was extremely popular and probably still is but hes probably #3 right now.
Typical Trump
If it doesnt happen, Im blaming JD Vance, Trump said, somewhat in jest, of an Iran deal during an Easter lunch this month. If it does happen, Im taking full credit.
