OH NO OMFG NO SAY THIS ISN'T TRUE! "Vance hints he may skip presidential run in 2028!" This is TRAGIC! OMFG!

[Miles Archer]

Vice President JD Vance is caught in a political vise as his isolationist principles collide with the Donald Trump administration's expanding war in Iran — and sources now suggest he may bow out of the 2028 presidential race entirely.

According to the Washington Post, Vance's assumed status as heir to the MAGA crown is increasingly uncertain. Questions are already swirling about whether Trump will back Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio for the nomination, with the Iran conflict threatening to complicate the political positioning.

The 41-year-old Marine veteran faces an acute dilemma. Once a fierce critic of America's costly military interventions abroad, he's now forced to defend Trump's growing appetite for military adventurism while managing a coalition that includes ardent war skeptics.

2. But what about all those sales of "Guy liners?"

[PCIntern]

8. Wow.

3. The more unpopular Trump becomes, the worse chance Vance has of winning in 2028.

The GOP's best bet is probably to nominate someone who has zero ties to the Trump administration.

20. I agree, but you know Trump will snipe at whoever they choose

from outside his circle. He can't help himself. That will damage their prospects somewhat, depending on how unpopular Trump becomes. I expect a lot of chaos around the nomination.

4. I'm sure the cringey opportunist will change his tune when the time comes.

7. Thiel will toss him a Snausage and say "WHO'S a good boy? WHO's a good boy?"

The guy basically bartered whatever credibility he may have had for a seat at the Rapin' Felon Grampy table.

I don't spend an overt amount of time pondering what's on the minds of the MAGAts, but if you want to believe conventional wisdom and what's been said about them so far, chances are excellent that they'll sit out any election that doesn't include Trump. Maybe not forever. But because Gramps is selling those "Trump 2028" hats on his Website, to be denied the pleasure of an illegal and unconstitutional run for a "3rd term" may be a tipping point for them.

At the far end of the tinfoil hat spectrum is the idea of "installing" President Donald Trump Jr.

We know Don Jr wants it. He's on record as saying that he thinks he "deserves" it, that he's the true "heir to MAGA."

I think 2028 will largely be determined by what happens in 2026. IF Democrats are successful in shining a light on the dumbfounding LACK OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS from the Republican-led Congress since the start of Trump's second term, IF Democrats can articulate a plan of action that resonates with voters, the only reason Vance would run in 2028 is if he wants to experience humiliation on a scale that dwarfs what's happening to him right now.

6. Real manly.

Taking care of people and communities. That's real heroism. Aiming to do things right. Using smarts to accomplish. And finding the courage to do so. That's leadership.
Yelling and making fun of people is neither leadership nor manly.

9. What's the half-life of Trump radioactivity?

Regardless, I don’t think he’ll ever get the stink off. No one does.

[Miles Archer]

10. I think we all knew a second Trump term would be "worse"...

...but I'd wager that in 2024, during the election, few people imagined it would be this bad.

Much of Trump's toxicity will be determined by whether he can dig himself out of the hole he's in, with Epstein, the economy, and Iran.

I can't see any way for him to "turn it around." I think it will only get worse.

11. How to say, "I know I'd get my ass handed to me" without

saying "I know I'd get my ass handed to me." Vance is already one of the most unpopular members of his party, and he won't be riding on Trump's coattails next time around--if there are any coattails left by then. I think ol' JP...JD...whatever the hell he's going by these days...sees the writing on the wall.

[Bobstandard]

12. Trump will secede. JD will succeed.

JD might not have to run fir President because Trump will already have canceled elections. JD will rule while Trump walks away, just as the Ragin Cajun has predicted.

This makes for a profitable parlay in the prediction markets.

13. They are clearing the way for Tucker Carlson.

[Vinca]

14. 2028 is looking grim for the GOP: Mini Me, Little Marco Big Shoes or Tucker Carlson.

With a backdrop of prices so high they could trigger another Great Depression.

[Attilatheblond]

19. Don't the guys with real power know they have to allow a DEM to win after GOP bankrupts the county?

Seems that is how it usually works. Steal and mishandle all the money then let some civic minded real public servant DEM win and put the economy back together again so it can be robbed within 4-8 years.

18. Maybe he knows the orange shitgibbon is going to cancel the GOP primaries and anoint Don Jr.

You can see it coming from 2 years away.
