Let's suppose Trump dies during his first year in office

[DavidDvorkin]

Which I think is fairly likely.

I think that the Trumpanzees will go then crazy, claiming that Trump was murdered, and they'll claim that Vance was behind the murder. (Which is not all that unlikely.) Vance will struggle along for the remainder of the presidential term with the Trump cultists shrieking at him and with Congressional GOPers afraid to cooperate with him because of their fear of those cultists.

As a result 2026 and 2028 will (finally!) bring the yearned-for Bluenami.

That's the sunniest scenario I can come up with.

1. Sounds good to me.

5. Thank You Jesus !!!!! The day it happens, i will burst into song ... Oh what a beautiful morning .....

Oh what a beat day.
I've got a glorious feeling, everythings going my way.

[Dave Bowman]

2. They'll scream for Vance to be executed...

by electric sofa.

[H2O Man]

4. !!!

3. Keep those hamderbergs coming,

[no_hypocrisy]

6. I can imagine in-fighting in his administration.

I mean a real cluster-f**k.

[Bread and Circuses]

7. That's interesting

[Bread and Circuses]

8. Or maybe Vance....

Could be thrown out a window. literally.

Or more likely…he is forced to resign with an explanation that he wants to spend more time with family…or something.

The Felon doesn’t trust Vance and he doesn’t need him or Peter Thiel.

Why? He’s got Musk who does things with a hammer…and Trump prefers the mobster way

11. Trump and Musk don't personally like each other and their egos are already clashing

but I do see Musk being a problem for Vance if Trump dies.

9. I sort of figure they'll make up a Democrat conspiracy and blame the Democrats.

That’s generally been their playbook for most everything, and his ignorant sheep will believe it like they always say they do.

[mucholderthandirt]

10. He'll be lucky to last six months.

As to the MAGA monkeys having a conspiracy breakdown, all it will take is for Trump to step down, giving Vance all the good talk up about how great he's going to be, and do everything Trump would, and then it's done, no one complains, no one doubts any of it. Trump goes away to Mar a Lago and dies in his sleep. It's amazing what they can do with drugs and the right words in Trump's ear. You could convince someone of anything. Like having a Manchurian candidate, really.

Project 2025 forever!

12. I agree that the best thing seems to be Trump dying in office

due to bad health. And Vance not getting the cult support. Especially becsuse Vance is boring and those people enjoy the chaos and "entertainment" that Trump brings.

[DFW]

13. Well, originally, we were only joking in the last verse...........

Maybe we were more prophetic than we thought. Starting about 2:40

[Tommy Carcetti]

14. Honestly, that could be the best case scenario

Trumpists could very well turn on Vance, like they turned on Pence.

Vance’s old anti-Trump statements might not be as long forgotten as you think.

[onenote]

15. Eventually,a prediction of trump's imminent demise will turn out to be true. But...

DUers have been predicting it since 2016 and if our best strategy is to assume he's going to die in the next year, or as one post suggests, six months, we're more fucked than we think.

[coffeenap]

16. ok

[exboyfil]

17. Don Jr. confirmed as VP

and defenestration for Vance seems the most likely occurrence.

18. I appreciate you trying to cheer me up. Thank you. nt
