I'm afraid he won't go away after this election.

Oh but he will. Trump will put all the blame on Vance. He threw him under the bus during the debate and he'll do it again.

Vance will try to be reasonable but forgets he isn't dealing with reasonable people. Eventually he'll turn on Trump as a way to cozy up to "normal" Republicans. He'll get a few TV appearances and then disappear.

When 2028 comes around he might try to run in the primary but he'll get stomped on and be one of the first to drop out.

He's in the Senate now and that's where he'll stay. Maybe he'll get reelected, but I doubt he'll be around much longer than that.

I like your positivity

Maybe they'll both drink themselves to death before the next election like Joe McCarthy

Hamberders are the anti-heroes we don't deserve!

He'll get beat out by Tucker Carlson or Ivanka Trump in 2028.

Same way with the old, weak, orange felon. He will wear out his moron base and MAGA will return to being normal people after his final defeat, but with psychological scars for the rest of their lives, much like the former Nazis after Germany was defeated.

Honestly for big boy I hope so, but don't know. Assuming he loses this year, and assuming he survives until 2028, I would hope he'd be gone, but I can't be sure. I assume 2026 midterms will give us a rough idea.

And even if Ronald McDonald finally gets him, someone's going to copy this brand of politics and continue this march towards fascism.

They'll try, but you need just the right personality to do that. Usually, when the personality at the center dies, the whole thing collapses and goes away for at least a few generations.
