Trump’s chaos is often his undoing while JD would supposedly implement every awful thing with efficiency and tact.

But, I don’t necessarily agree. I think he would be unpredictable in a much different way: as a pure opportunist, we don’t actually know what his convictions are if any exist until he achieves the ultimate goal of the top position in government. We already see that with his book persona being completely different than his VP MAGA persona.

He took a VP job nobody wanted and performed it with a perfect level of loyalty to skip a lifetime of political ladder climbing. Last I checked he’s far in the lead in Republican 2028 election polling compared to other candidates.

I don’t really think he’s MAGA, but he’s still his own brand of despicable policies regardless of how his new presidential persona would take shape.

I still think he will share ineffectiveness with Trump if he ever becomes president. He just has zero charisma and the body language of foreign leaders with him is very telling.

People like Bush Jr. and Obama could globetrot and make friends. JD will never learn that skill. He would also lack the congressional familiarity and connections of someone like Joe Biden.
