I envision a drunken brawl when Trump dies

Hegseth and Mullin duking it out over who gets to be Fuehrer next.

Miller will be hiding under a desk figuring out how to poison the winner.

It doesn't much matter. Once Trump dies, I'm pretty sure his movement dies with him. Vance's insincerity in matched only by Rubio's, but Rubio's imperialist and hawkish sentiment will win the Republican nomination.

When push comes to shove, Vance and Rubio are equivalent lightweights but Rubio has ever so slightly more institutional credibility. I think this is an objectively good thing - but, again, I don't think either holds together the Trump coalition.

It was similar to the ritual mortification of RFK Jr, on the Trump plane, being forced to eat McDonalds.

How humiliating must it be for Lil' Marco, the GOP golden boy in 2012, to be forced into daddy's shoes.

But humiliation is currency now.

Mullin, remember, proudly remarked that he is never going to be the smartest man in the room.

When presented with this irrefutable fact, one must assume if he were ever to be alone with Hegseth the laws of reality would fail.

Elon isn't eligible and doesn't want the work.

The Trump kids want the title, not the power (I assume). Kushner seems to operate as a shadow diplomat but is DOA in any electoral context.

I'd like to see that drug filled brawl, but i'm fairly sure no one would get hurt. Lots of litious paperwork though.
