Reading the Tea Leaves

I strongly suspect Vance will soon be out as Trump’s VP, and will presumably be replaced by RFK Jr.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he will campaign with former President Donald Trump and his surrogates in battleground states after suspending his presidential bid last month and backing the GOP presidential nominee.

“We’re planning a Make America Healthy Again tour where we’re going to visit almost all of those states,” Kennedy said Wednesday on NewsNation. 

“So, I will be doing rallies in each of those states over the next 61 days,” he continued. “We want to, if we’re going to accomplish the mission that I set out to accomplish when I got into this campaign — end the censorship, end the surveillance, to get out of the Ukraine war and unravel the war machine and the chronic disease epidemic — the only way to do that is to get President Trump in the White House and me into Washington. So we’re going to pull out all the stops to make sure that happens.”  

Remember, Trump never hesitates to fire people, probably because he is so terrible at vetting them in the first place. Vance not only isn’t helping him, he’s proving to be an embarrassment with all the political appeal of a bedraggled and soaking-wet mop.

I thought he was an absolutely horrible pick in the first place, and strongly suspect that he is a Gamma male, which indicates that he’ll either melt down under pressure or stab Trump in the back at some crucial juncture like Pence did.

We’ve already seen the Democratic candidate change, so the Republican VP candidate changing wouldn’t be a big deal in this bizarre “election” cycle, given that it’s very likely that none of the voting is dispositive anyhow.
