Republicans have taken control of every branch of the American government through duplicitous methods - most importantly the Supreme Court. If Trump dies tomorrow, Vance takes his place and is even more effective of a lap dog for the Heritage Foundation (who planned all this) because he's better behaved, while Trump's randomness has sometimes thrown wrenches into the works. Believe it or not, I fear Vance as president more than Trump because he will do exactly as he is told.
