The problem is, that would leave "JD Vance," as he currently writes his name, with no periods on the initials, like CC Sabathia, as President. And, given who he owes, the tech bros, he might be as problematic as Trump, who owes the Russians and the Saudis.
But check out the pictures above. The picture on the left makes him look like one of the flunkies that always hung around school bullies. Those bastards always had them. Remember? Scut Farkas of A Christmas Story had two of them, and Biff Tannen of Back to the Future had three. Two or three was standard for them.
Vance is a flunky to Trump the bully. As are Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon, Pete Hegseth, etc.
But those flunkies never managed to succeed the bully. Even in Heathers, it didn't quite work. Then again, that film's real villain was also named J.D.
Vance is a complete phony, always re-inventing himself to please whoever can help him. That's one thing he has in common with Trump: Trump takes the last thing somebody told him that he liked -- whether it's "Wind power causes cancer," or "The immigrants are eating the dogs, they're eating the cats," or something else that's too fucking stupid to take seriously -- and then he tells the media, often preceding it with, "You know, a lot of people are saying... " when he only heard it from one person.
The current rumor is that the Republicans will wait to allow Trump to be removed through impeachment sometime after the midpoint of his term, January 20, 2027, so that the conditions of the 22nd Amendment will allow Vance -- who, at age 42, would be the youngest President ever, breaking Theodore Roosevelt's record, as long as he takes office before June 20, 2027 -- to run for a full 1st term in 2028 and a full 2nd term in 2032.
The problem with that is, the Democrats are almost certainly going to take the House of Representatives in this November's election. They have a much less likely chance of taking the Senate. But impeachment not long after the change of power on January 3, 2027 seems likely. Would they get enough Republican Senators to make 67, a 2/3rds majority, to remove him at that point? Or would they rely on the Cabinet to invoke Article 4 of the 25th Amendment, and remove him for unfitness, when Trump seems to have built a Cabinet based on loyalty, to guard against that very possibility?
We will see.
