Really looking forward to this. I wish we didn’t have to wait more than a month to watch it though. I almost wish you had told me on September 30th.

Can’t help but look at this through the lens of the current political election season in the US. Not sure if JD Vance is experienced enough right now for the job. And, maybe that’s the point. Trump didn’t want another Pence. He just wanted someone to follow orders - but, that could have dangerous consequences for the country.

[@mygetawayart]

imagine JD Vance with the nuclear codes. That should be enough to send shivers down your spine.

[@douglas69ification]

Vance versus Kamala? I don't think we've had a qualified candidate since H. Clinton ​@@mygetawayart

[@igorschmidlapp6987]

I’ll take it! The house is nice and you have your own plane.

She’ll be fine. Actually she’ll be fantastic for this country.

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

You are out of your ever-loving mind. YOU SIR are A full-blown leftist socialist. She has NEVER won any type of election!!. She does not belong in the White House let alone Washington.

[@DisposableSupervillainHenchman]

⁠@@BrianCarnevaleB26 Relax. I’m not a fan of her, but she’s won several elections, so I’m not sure what you’re screeching about at all.

Looking forward to watching. Thanks :)

It is interesting that Truman did not have a VP for almost a whole term. TR too.

[@sahgentpeppah]

Interestingly, if Trump is elected, he won't have one either...

The great irony is that he would have gotten the top job within a month if he had accepted.

[@jec1ny]

@@nrkgalt Very true. And history would have been quite different. Tyler was the one who established the precedent that the VP actually becomes president, as opposed to the acting president when his boss dies.

[@allendean9807]

Ford’s biggest mistake was pardoning Nixon. It has been the black spot on his career. He was a fine legislator, he was a president that worked to pull us out of a hot mess. It took Carter to finish the job, but Ford doomed himself with his pardoning of Tricky Dick. He should have let the courts decide. That is why we have laws. Are you listening, Donald? Let the courts decide.

Please include a beefy subplot about Cheney and unitary executive theory.

[@DisposableSupervillainHenchman]

Yes! What a frightening man and idea.

[@TonysMusic1974]

I look forward to this

Will Mike pence make an appearance

[@ronkirk5099]

JD Vance is just about the least qualified VP pick in our history and absolutely lacks the experience, with only two years in the Senate, to take charge should the occasion arise.

[@justinbowen2509]

Obama was only two years into his senate term also

[@blakeyoung1299]

@@justinbowen2509but Obama was in state politics for about 8 to ten years previously

[@kimthibeau8354]

How long was Obama a Senator?

[@DallasCowboyFan95]

@@justinbowen2509straight lie. Obama won his election in 2004 before running for president in 2008. J.D Vance won his election in 2022, before being the 2024 VP nominee.

[@TobiasKirklin]

J.D. Vance has been in the Senate LESS than 2 years.
