    Peter Theil is Palantir, and he holds Vance’s leash. He LITERALLY owns Vance. If Vance becomes president, Theil is in charge.

      Vance won’t remain in charge even if he inherits it. He’s an unlikeable douchebag that can’t play a crowd, that’s why he was chosen by the paranoid president, because he wouldn’t be used to supplant him so easy.

        Rubio will crush Vance in the primary. Neither one has any charisma, but at least Rubio has some measure of serious reputation behind him, while Vance is just a clown. He tries to cover it, and act like a real person, but he’s so obviously a manufactured phony.

        He was chosen because Theil literally walked into Maralago with Vance, and had a private meeting with Trump, and when it was over, Vance was the VP choice.

        Of course, Theil and Trump know how the game is played at that level, so something of value changed hands, even if we’ll never know what it was, although Theil has donated a LOT of money to MAGA.

          Yeah but prez would have had a lot of powerful people pushing their tools onto him for vp, he chose vance because both thiel, but also because vance was an unlikeable bitch. He wouldn’t have been chosen if not for both reasons.

          Vance will lose in a primary.

            Sure, it’s a classic Cult of Personality, so you can’t have a strong #2. That’s why he likes to play Vance and Rubio against each other. So nobody, including them or us, knows who his favorite boy is.
