19. I think Trump had a very unusual mix of traits that enabled him to do what he's done.

And I don't agree that almost anyone other than Vance would have enough charisma to replicate his success. I'm not saying it's not possible that someone could step into his shoes and keep MAGA going, but I believe there are very few people who could pull it off.

That said, predicting the future is a dicey business, and I would be the first to admit that I suck at it. I don't think any of us can fully envision what would happen if Trump was suddenly out of the picture. There could (and probably will) be surprises that none of us can anticipate. The point i was trying to make in my previous post is that Vance himself isn't much of a threat, and that is the one thing I feel pretty confident about.
