Vance is a slicker, younger, inexperienced version of trump. He spouts what he is told and 99% of it is utter bullshit but his delivery isn’t the Rottweilerian suckness that orange shitstain has when his buttons are pushed. He tries to mimic Walz’s folksy delivery with fake stories about his concocted background about how he grew up as a poor black child. Basically he’s a good bullshitter, apparently a republicon requirement for admission to the club. He is about as phony as he can be shape shifting from religious zealot to sensible yalie at the flick of a switch and he is only rivaled in lying by his running mate. He is a fake plastic robot that serves donnies shit on a fancy plate and will lay down to do donnies bidding when told to do so. Peter Thiel built this frankenstein and should be held reponsible for his existence.

Vance is scarier than Trump because if Trump is elected, Vance has a huge chance of becoming president via Trump’s assassination or natural death.

Which will no doubt come shortly after he’s elected. Trump has the following but is too old, too erratic and too volatile to be there for long. Vance is young, polished (yalie elitist) and such a huge investment for Peter Thiel. He also regurgitates everything he’s told to say verbatim and doesnt need to think but toe the party line.

Totally agree. I don't see Trump lasting past six months before he's replaced by Vance

CBC (Canadian) radio news had a phone interview yesterday, the 1st, with a Yale classmate of Vance's who used to be a good friend when he supposedly had some honesty and kindness. She was terrific. But it's not you and I who need to hear her. Can't remember which slot, but one can probably google it at cbc.ca

He's Trump's personal Renfield, " Count Dracula's deranged, fanatically devoted servant and familiar, helping him in his plan to turn Mina Harker into a vampire in return for a continuous supply of insects to consume and the promise of immortality."
