He could of told Vance a few times how much smarter he was than Trump, how more thoughtful, handsome and articulate. Trump would of been raging, lol Expand Here's the thing with Vance: Ambition. Boundless ambition. He wants desperately to be President. That meant sucking up to Trump to get his endorsement and to become a Senator. Notice how clever our young hillbilly is. He got the VP nomination. He goes on the debate stage and says none of the outrageous things that endeared him to Trump to begin with. If Trump wins, he's term-limited, and JD is the presumptive 2028 nominee. If Trump loses, JD is the presumed front runner because he's a smarter, less emotional, more focused version of Trump. And if JD becomes President either sooner (Trump is, umm, almost 80) or later (2028), what makes the Trumpies think he won't switch back to that Hillbilly Elegy guy running toward the center? As I said, he's smart. I think Democrats fear JD for that reason: he'll do whatever he needs to do to win, even if it means running the old Bush 41 "kinder and gentler" campaign at the expense of his mentor. 1

Expand I think you nailed it. And there would be nothing wrong with Vance running to the center if he becomes a Presidential nominee in 28. At some point we have to become a unified country again and if you could find me a Democrat who is running to the center I'd sure listen to what they have to say. 2
