      All these people see which way the wind is blowing, and assume that Trump, by hook or by crook, will be out by next year. Vance has literally no center. He’s happy to take the cash from whoever and do whatever, even if it’s contradictory or straight up illegal. They’re all banking on Vance being in the chair by 2027, and they’re willing to potentially take the year of losses if it means they have a hollow shell of a human being to deadhand whatever’s in front of him.
