    I do wonder if Vance would stop the Iran war if Trump died.

    He holds some pretty nasty views, but I don’t think he’s anywhere near as insane as Trump. There was an interview during Trump #1 where he actually disagreed with quite a bit of Trump’s shit IIRC.

    That doesn’t mean that I think he’d be a good president or that he’s a good human being. Just that he might be quite different than Trump. Probably continue or accelerate the ICE bullshit, but maybe stop the stupid ass war in Iran?

        The Iran War seems likely to be a result of Trump’s fancy though, not a move chosen by Trump’s puppeteers.

        While Vance is a puppet of Thiel, this is not a zero sum game. Vance would probably do less damage than Trump.
