(2,554 posts)He can still do quite a bit of damage on his own, I'm sure, but anyone who saw him on the campaign trail (and who has noticed his absence since then) has been disabused of any illusions about Vance's leadership qualities. Any DUers remember the picture from C-SPAN with the caption "single person clapping" at one of Vance's "rallies"? (It may be a fake, but I heard the clip myself, and the caption is indeed correct).
Hillbilly Vanilli doesn't have the McFelon's salesmanship or ability to sway a crowd. If Trump kicks off, Vance won't be able to keep the scam going.

It would be just awful.
Im sure his family would be there every day to advocate for his care. Im sure . .

(9,658 posts)Im tired of hearing his lies and seeing his ugly, greed filled face everyday. When all they can say about him is the poop they took out of his pants that day that will feel like being rid of him at last.

(8,600 posts)Update - I changed my mind. I think maybe an evangelical preacher like Franklin Graham or a prosperity gospel preacher like Joel Olsteen would be worse.

(952 posts)I have no idea what Trump as Commander-In-Chief is capable of if he's backed into a corner. Vance is awful but I don't think he'd fire off nuclear weapons because someone hurt his feelings.

(16,088 posts)in a delighted Musk's hands, likewise with those black-hearted MAGA members of congress. They don't like Trump, but he is useful to them because he succumbs easily to cash and flattery, Vance already believes himself above such plebian offerings. Trump is a known bag of awful, Vance is largely a sack of you-ain't-seen-nuthin-yet.

(13,679 posts)He doesn't have the Celebrity darling glitter about him, and he can't lie convincingly.
The public, even MAGA, will find it easy blame him for any problem the GOP causes if they have to listen to his blathering on the evil Commie Democrats are the real villains making their lives miserable.
The GOP is an old fashioned circus. *Rump is the carnival barker, quipping and manipulating the public to see what he wants them to see.
Vance is the pencil neck geek.
Not the good type of cute, nerdy geek, the original 19th century carnival geek - typically a pseudo-idiot that did freaky things like pulling apart live chickens and eating them in stage. Or pretend he was doing that.
While he is smarter and has a more formed agenda than *rump, he just does not have the Teflon idiot charisma to pull off what *rump does.
