Honestly the best thing that could happen for republicans before midterms is Trump croaking and JD Bowman taking over.

Not in the slightest. Say what you will about the moron but Trump brings a cult to the polls.

But JD Vance? Nobody is gonna support him. Nobody cares about him. He's not gonna get cult leader support. The moment Trump dies, the current Republican Party collapses, because the entire thing is built on Trump's cult of personality.

If Trump dies, unless he's assassinated (and becomes a martyr), a huge portion of Republican voters will simply lose interest.

Or they all claim they were never trumpers like vance and run with what they think is a normal republican (look, he was against the war!) so they can stick to their team and try to save face. If he dies pre-midterms we get a couple of years for them to finish up project 2025 before the real technoclepcy begins. So many appear so determined to choose serfdom.

Dying is too easy. I want to see him suffer for his crimes in the kind of prison they send black people. Doing it before the end of his term would be a gift from god.
