I do not think Trump will dump Vance. It would be too much for his sick mega-ego to handle.

[Deek1935]

Trump is a pathological narcissist who believes he can not ever be wrong.

To admit he made a huge error in his VP pick, which is a huge decision, would be too much of a blow to his ego.

The only way I can see it happening is if surrogates convince Vance to drop out "on his own accord and of complete and total surprise to Trump while Trump insisted that he stay". They may try to concoct something like that. But Trump will NEVER admit he was wrong.

1. Yes. Vance would have a sudden "medical issue."

Putin uses that tactic when he wants a given political party official out of the way.

5. 3rd degree upholstery burns, perhaps?

A perfectly valid medical excuse for weirdos

7. Friction burns, happens all the time!1!

2. I don't think he will either, for that reason and for the fact he thinks they have it in the bag

and doesn't care about the votes, just his lawyers and poll workers that will stop the vote and the count.

3. Hope you're right. (nt)

4. Watch

Vance will be forced out, but they will make a big show of it and he'll copy some of the language Biden did when he dropped out. Republicans are still steaming that Biden did what he did so gracefully and is viewed as a patriot for it.

6. Yes. He could say that, upon reflection, he decided . . .

. . . that his skill set militates in favor of him serving in some other capacity in the executive branch of the government.

8. But it would be a mistake on someone else's part -- it always is !

"You know, TJ Mandel really let me down ... you know, I gave him a chance, a big chance, and he blew it."

9. Donald Trump firmly believes that Donald Trump can do no wrong

as much evidence there is to the contrary.

He will do whatever he sees fit and whatever his ruthless mind deems to be most politically expedient, IMO.
