and barring a falling out (which I grant you that with Trump it could absolutely happen), Vance will be the man to beat. And for sure, he has work to do building a base. But, when you watch him in front of crowds, he certainly gives the vibe he’s honing his skills to run.

Rubio, I’m sure, has similar aspirations. We shouldnt take our eye off him nor fail to take ny opportunity to frame him as worse thn Trump, either.

Outside those two, I dont get too worried about 2028.
