It would be hilarious if he was dumping Vance from the ticket, but I have a hunch this will be something racist - maybe he’s going to accuse Kamala of not being American and we’re going to have to deal with a whole Birtherism 2.0 “movement”
AKA BM 2.0
Oh, shit…
Not Number Two.
Damn - I totally blew the opportunity for BM #2
😭
Whatever you do, don’t blow a BM.
I suspect he’s dropping out on some pretense, now that the campaign stopped being fun. If there is any chance in hell he could get a deal to get his sentence(s) commuted, I think he’d do it in a heartbeat.
He is still in quite a bit of legal jeopardy. I highly doubt he would drop out knowing that some lawsuits have only been held at bay due to the position of power a presidential candidate and the godhead of a cult has.
Not that I believe this is the case AT ALL, but to further this line of thought:
If he was dropping out, it would be because he’s already got the party machine going on a new (guaranteed) nominee who would have already promised to pardon trump (and this promise would be assured by some damning fact trump could use as an assurance)
He won’t. The only reason he is running this time is to stay out of jail though I think.
If he drops out, I guarantee he’s going to be doing a runner shortly after.
It’s more likely he’ll use this event to set up things for a civil war
I could easily see that. Right now the only thing I’m not expecting is for the next couple of months to be uneventful.
0% chance. Narcissists cannot admit defeat.
Can he dump Vance at the moment though? The RNC has already voted and he’s already been certified as the VP candidate.
I know Vance could step down and Trump could appoint a new VP, but I’m not sure that Trump has the ability to “fire” him.
Trump would be the type to announce he’s firing Vance so he can be The Strong Man™ but it would in reality have to be Vance stepping down. It all works out to be the same result though.
That’s never stopped him before
