trump may very well die within the next 4 years, even 4 weeks after all that campaigning strain, but I am just no sure if JD wouldn't make everything worse if he got hold of the reins?

One thing is sure President Vance would be a total shit show.

Thiel is Vance's backer. Vance would be a competent Trump. Much more dangerous.

Vance would just run everything according to Project 2025. I think he'd be like Trump but more competent.

Honestly, it feels like the only hope is that things get bad enough for enough Trump supporters (and non-voters) to wake up to reality. And since Vance himself doesn't seem to have the moron-whisperer charisma that Trump has, they may be more willing to turn on him.

JD Vance is a more effective stooge, because he does what he's told without question. Trump at least has his particular brand of self-defeating chaos.

Vance is the Project 2025 guy, not Trump. You don't want him as president, either.
