So here we are, one crisis bleeding into the next. Donald Trump is so far off the rails that even Republicans are quietly mouthing the words “impeachment” and “25th Amendment.”
Fine. Let’s say it happens. We get him out. Then what?
Nothing. And I mean nothing — because it sure doesn’t look like there’s anyone waiting in the wings ready to take the helm and set things right.
Vance? Did someone say Vance? The Vice President? Really? Because you’d be forgiven for forgetting we had one. He has been so absent, so invisible, so perfectly silent during one of the most dangerous moments in modern American history that his own title feels like a rumor.
A Vice President is supposed to be a leader. A backstop. The person the Constitution trusts to step up when things go sideways. Instead we have a man who appears to be doing one of two things — either loyally holding his tongue for a president he knows has lost the plot, or quietly waiting for the dust to settle so he can pop up and say “surprise, I’m the reasonable one.”
Either way, that’s not leadership. That’s cowardice with a title.
Come on Mr. Vice President — whoever you are — now would be the time. Before all that’s left to govern is a hidden bunker underneath an unwanted ballroom.
Who Is JD Vance?
