General Discussion

The Vanity Fair piece was designed to make Vance the MAGA prince. There's an effort to equate Vance to Trump across MAGA social and broadcast media right now. One example is another live thread right now: Vance posted about white men being discriminated against at ork, and the hard-MAGA EEOC chair then posts a call for white men to report job discrimination, fronted by a "So right, JD Vance!" This is all coordinated.

The mainstream MAGA faction (buoyed by Thiel and Musk) certainly wants Vance for 2028.

But maybe sooner. It's pretty early to start him in for 2028 at this point. I think there are a bunch of signs that they will try to push Trump out before the midterms.

Wiles is obviously on the Vance bandwagon, and maybe Miller, too. I think Cheung is the holdout: he's no doubt behind the idiotic plaque business and the Kennedy Center desecration. He also probably coordinated the Dershowitz Third Term article.
