      They had hoped it would demonstrate that fence-riding hardliners could be swayed to Trump’s side. All it did was show that one was willing to sell out and fake it for a chance at the high chair.

      With all the donor money passing hands to make Trump’s campaign happen, the VP choice might have been over his head. Vance seems more like a pick the Heritage Foundation (Project 2025) would’ve made imo.

        Trump loves nothing more than making people who were his enemies grovel at his feet. It’s probably the one thing besides his own daughter that comes even close to getting him erect. At least not since Epstein died.
