    I think she’s distancing herself from anything Epstein while she still can.

      Right. I think she’s putting her money on Trump failing so she can run for president and say “see, I stood up”

      Which is a brilliant move, if project 2025 fails.

          Vance is not running in 2028, it will be Donald Trump Jr. They won’t even need to change the hats.

          I cannot actually imagine him doing very well in an election either way.

            I bet you would have said the same thing about Trump in 2016 and yet here we are. Attempting to understand the thought process of inherently irrational people is a losing battle.

                  Trump started saying on main the vile, despicable stuff American people had wanted to say since the civil rights movement. He can LARP as a successful person (a poor person’s idea of a rich person etc etc). Vance is as appealing as lukewarm cottage cheese.

              Nah, when Trump won the nomination in 2016 I knew we were cooked. Vance doesn’t have the same appeal. He’s got the “owning libs” part down but his humor lacks a broader appeal, unlike Trump.

              Sorry bud, I knew he was gonna win because Hillary was gonna lose. I did not think he was going to lose in 2020 though—and honestly I wish he won just so we would be done with it all by now. But that revenge project 2025, mixed with 4 years of him aging just killed the whole country.

      I think she was a true believer who finally woke up to the fact that Trump and his lackeys are doing everything they can to prevent disclosure of the Epstein files. And that was like her main issue.
