This is a guy who messed up ordering a donut. That doesn't indicate leadership potential.

OTOH, we could end up with Peter Thiel (Vance's Sugar Daddy) being the new Musk, throwing his fat wallet behind the primary candidates of negotiable loyalties. Maybe some in the GOP will finally decide they're tired of the whole shitshow, and try bucking him even if it means risking re-election. If Trump goes full dirt nap before the primaries, a lot of GOP incumbents may decide the time is ripe to "return to the private sector", meaning comfy sinecures on K Street.
