Except the next in line was formerly his biggest critic. I suspect, in keeping with the opportunism of the party, Vance courted Trump for the nomination as VP, knowing no one else would want it after Trump was prepared to sacrifice Pence, knowing he couldn't swing getting a presidential nomination himself, and knowing there was a good chance Trump would not make it to the end of his second term.

@starraven @h yeah but he didn't criticize Trump for being too fascist, but instead for being too obvious/an idiot about it.

@starraven @vex @h That's not the dynamic I see. Trump has said Vance doesn't matter etc, that fits with Thiel or someone making a deal to get Vance installed.

It's true, whether you think so or not.

@starraven you're making a prediction there, not stating a fact. Suggesting "it's true" is dumb.

@alisca
Trump has proven the President will do almost as he pleases. Nothing will be there to restrain Vance, either if he goes off script. THAT is true. The only thing open to prediction is whether he will, assuming he wants a shot at a second term.
