I am talking sedition. Secession.

That fat fucker is going to (tomorrow night before Congress) declare all the wars he’s stopped, all the wars he wants to start and proclaim himself King. He must go by whatever constitutional means the Wraiths of SCOTUS will agree to, yet fuck them all. Do they have an army? He does.

If the Northeast, hopefully with Pennsylvania and Ohio can make one sector, California can be counted on in the west. Who the fuck cares what Texas does. Probably secedes and becomes the nation they always wanted to be.

I want to see every Democrat that can be kicked out (depending on if Congress considered in session and quorum rules) and standing on the Capitol steps. No paddles. Bring your pimp stick if you have one.

The Nation is nowhere near United.

…cite?

Getting back to the thread, Vance is also far ahead in betting markets, although they remind me there’s still much uncertainty:

24

Fair enough. Let it happen. And sorry if there was a derail of the thread, yet thought I read SCOTUS (preeminently?) told the States what they must not do. A little unusual.

25

Again, sorry for derailing.

I don’t see Vance having much of a chance, Trump’s approval will matter, yet there was none for Pence. If we’re just talking Vance, Rubio and Hegseth (and definitely not Trump), Rubio will demolish them in debates.

26

Rubio says he won’t run against Vance.

I know, I know, these guys lie, and even a Democrat might break a promise like that. But MAGAville dislikes Rubio and would push hard if Marco broke his promise. As for old-time Republicans, they are famous for voting for the next guy in line, and this time that’s JD.

What if we get a real economic crash, or our troops are losing their feet to frostbite on the Greenland front, and Trumpism finally collapses to Macron levels in the polls? Rubio can’t pick up the pieces because he’s part of Trump World. I think DeSantis then would have a way better chance than Rubio.

27

If the current administration has not raised all the good things by 200% and lowered Turkey prices by 33%, Veeps (sanctioned) and other cabinet members will have a hard time since they’ve no traction.

Then DeSantis. Against most of the things Trump, who is a great man, did wrong; and will keep lowering Turkey prices till they’re practically free. No worse than W, though does he know how to choose a cabinet?

If Rubio has backed down from Vance, then he’s not running. If DeSantis has to debate Vance, he’s debating Trump by proxy and that may not go over well. Two years plus a few monrhs to see how it goes.

28

I find from watching Vance deliver speeches that he is lacking charisma. I don’t see people getting excited about his candidacy.

29

I think it will be Vance. And he will probably lose (due to the charisma issue).

30

What are the odds of him running against someone who likewise has a charisma issue?

31

Too good, unfortunately. Probably better covered in the Democratic candidates thread, but there is always the chance Democrats find a worse candidate.
