Seems he may be waiting to seee which way the wind is blowing.
Yon Vance hath that lean and hungry look.

(114,513 posts)Did he go at Trump's suggestion or on his own?
Did Trump want him to make a deal with Rupert or just to tell him he was "only kidding". He knows how much he needs Hannity and friends at FOX News. He knows he shot himself in the foot.
But, it appears that JD is building up his resume to be the successor to the dipshit.

(58,808 posts)If he clams up and gets his money men in line, he could find himself in the Oval Office by Christmas. If he mouths off or gets greedy with headlines, he might find himself, courtesy of his bosss boss, with a first class seat on one of the shorter routes flown by Eighth Floor Window Airlines.

(58,808 posts)If he is sworn in and sitting in the Oval Office, the only things the Trumpanzees can do is primary him in 2028, or else impeach and remove before he gets a new VP confirmed, and put Johnson in there.

Are they willing to patiently vote out someone they don't like?

(1,655 posts)Do the 25th, come in as a sane, reasonable person, still have the entire Project 2025 agenda, just quieter. People will be grateful for the appearance of normalcy.

(38,410 posts)The VP must call the meeting of the Cabinet officers in order to discuss and vote on removal on the basis of 25A. We don't know when or if that will happen, but they won't be able to keep it a secret in today's 24/7/365 news environment. (After which, there are more steps outlined in the Amendment.)
Once that happens some of us will be very happy and probably celebrate.
But how will the faithful MAGAs react? They're going to be furious and many will blame Vance. These people are occasionally known to act crazy and many of them have gunz. I think Vance is laying low on purpose because of the crazy-factor.

This could be prep just in case Trump croaks, but I still don't think he is anytime soon. Longevity runs in Trump's family.
