General Discussion

I am NOT saying that I *want* JD Vance as POTUS, not by any stretch! However given ONLY those 2 choices, wherein Trump exits the stage by some means while POTUS, I'd be more joyous that Trump was gone than I'd be worried that Vance is taking over.

I'd still BE worried, mind you, but Trump is more frightening to me, because he is:
a) a demented pathological narcissist who's currently sundowning before our eyes,
b) an abject fucking idiot with ZERO intellectual curiosity about ANYthing, and
c) presiding over a cult, with an emotional hold on enough of the electorate that he can effectively get away w/pretty much anything.

And I don't (yet) have cause to conclude any of those are true of Vance. Take this current example. Trump would never, ever say something like this. He is constitutionally incapable of admitting something he did/said was a mistake. And not only will he not say it, I don't think he's even capable of admitting it to HIMSELF, which is an even worse personal trait. Because he's a pathological narcissist.

Trump needs to be OUT of that office, like NOW, and if the unfortunate side effect is Vance becoming POTUS, I'd settle for that w/o the slightest hesitation. He'd still SUCK, but the alternative is worse, by a significant measure.

MHO, fwiw.
