Will Trump drop Vance?

Well on the other hand, it is the party of authoritarians, so I guess Trump will do whatever he wants, though dumping Trump puts Ohio and Appalachia in play.

Ouch.

No, no, no... he absolutely can. The GOP like the DNC makes its own rules and it can rewrite them. But given how poorly the GOP seemed to understand that with Biden's departure, it will cause a meltdown. The easiest way to make this happen is Vance to quit, citing sort of personal issue—maybe say his wife has breast cancer or something. So, look for that.

Was that really Vance’s wife’s twitter account that she deleted after getting ratio’d this week? She’s very thin skinned. lol

Then Vance would need to quit the senate too, not going to happen.

And the Dems didn't rewrite any rules. If Biden had passed away or had to be hospitalized on Sunday, instead of just quitting the campaign, the result would have been exactly the same, except Harris would be president for the rest of the term as well.

He offered the job to Carson and I believe Carson will be the pick when Vance is dropped.

Won’t that make him a “DEI hire” according to Republicans?

Well, no. It’s not going to be a sincere excuse and he’ll come up with some total garbage reason why he can be a senator but not a vice president.

There is a rumor that Trump is replacing him with Haley so he can get her voters. I don't see happ as they voted for her because they didn't want Trump.

Looks like someone was impersonating her on X. That account has been suspended. I did see the original (fake) post and was quite surprised that someone with her background would say Kamala was a "DEI hire" (but, then again, she married Vance). It's a reminder that we should be careful about taking what we read on X at face value. I've made it a habit to double-check certain posts before I retweet them or post them here.

DP. Not to mention that he's a bit whacko as well.

It's too late. If he puts Haley in, he looks like a horrible leader with bad judgement who is bringing someone in because *cough* she is a woman. So a DEI hire, right? If Trump and his team felt Vance is the best guy for the job, then they need to stick with him.

He should have selected Haley from the start. Why didn’t he? It was a huge mistake.

Vance tried to back track on his "childless cat ladies" remark. Not very convincingly, I might add.

Can't wait until Ben Shapiro, Tucker, and the other right wingers double down and say Vance was actually 100% right.

This is a bit disingenuous and I think you know that.
I don't think it's the wisest move to say voting for a ticket is the same as wanting number 2 to be the president in non emergent situations
This kind of reasoning could become a problem for us in the future.

When you have a candidate as elderly, frail and in declining health as Trump, you have to consider it. Trump looks like he wouldn't make it more than maybe 18 months before either passing away from a medical issue or becoming incapacitated—a stroke, dementia, etc.
