    Yes, but have you ever seen a vice president as visible and vocal as this one?

      That’s a good point, but I don’t think Vance has the charisma to step into Trump’s boots. For all of Donald’s faults, and there are many, he is a very charismatic person. He has (or had depending on his level of senility) a natural skill at making people around him like him when he wants to. I don’t think Vance has those skills and without Trump to rally around MAGA as we know it won’t live past Trump. Now a form neo-MAGA can emerge, or it can crumble but thankfully JD doesn’t have what it takes to carry Trump’s torch.

        If the system gets rigged enough, Trump won’t be necessary. Cultists will not drop their position and they have infinite money and all the media to keep this “magic” going.

        I obviously have a different definition of “charismatic” to many other people, because Trump has zero charisma in my eyes. He was repugnant in the 80s and he’s repugnant today.

          That’s because you’re not a vapid narcissist who only ever uses people and are probably a boring regular everyday person who can see that bullshit from a mile away. I still think he has high charisma, but yeah he’s definitely not rolling 30s like other big personalities.
