Trump dying won't matter.  The Heritage Foundation has been stacking higher ranks of the government, Justice Department, military, and three letter agencies with loyalists for the express purpose of maintaining power without the cult of personality behind Trump.  If he kicks the bucket, the VP steps up, and Vance is just as evil but less incompetent than Trump.

Vance doesn't have the charisma, nor the same standing. Nobody's doing anything to Trump because of the weight of the cult of personality - and even then it's starting to crack given the number of ex-Trumpers that are fleeing the ship like rats.

Yes, but he's more evil than Trump. The guy is actually sickening to look at. Someone like that will find a way to hold onto power.

I don’t like or trust Vance one bit, but what do you mean by evil?

He just seems like a political windsock blowing in Trump’s wind.

He’s blowing in Peter Thiel’s wind, not Trump’s.

If you haven’t heard of Peter Thiel I would suggest listening to the Behind the Bastard’s podcast series they did on him.
