    IMHO they want Vance for one reason: Trump thinks he can control him, but Vance’s actual master, Theil, will have Vance 25th amendment the orange asshat on day one - giving Theil the whitehouse.

      The Vice President can’t do that without “a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide” on their side. That can’t happen without either the aid of people that Trump would have to select (and he’s notorious for picking toadies) or Congress passing a bill to create a body to evict him.

        has any of the last 8 fucking years been realistic?

        if I told you the president would respond to a hurricain in puerto rico by tossing paper towels at a crowd, would that have been realistic?

        what about a president calling dead veterans suckers?

        or how about a president sitting silently while a mob he stoked stormed the capital calling for the hanging of his own veep?

        does anything in this entire shitshow of a timeline strike you as realistic?

        I REST MY CASE
