3. I see your points, the powerful oligarchs in charge may need to consider

other options given Vance's unpopularity and the way he's going. Presently he's no leader and IMO the controlling oligarchs would have to build him up considerably before 2028 and they have the resources to do it.

But he is sorely lacking in the political sphere, and has little experience, skills or charisma. About all he has to offer is hate, misogyny, anti immigration and ambition. We'll see.

Eta. Known as the hillbilly fraud, the two enterprises Vance set up to assist people in Ohio and Kentucky were to bolster his senate campaign only and folded in 2 years and accomplished nothing. He's not an effective or likeable public figure at all, esp. compared to Walz.


Debate: Vance won't answer when asked by Walz if Trump lost in 2020.
