    Sure then the cult will quietly assemble under that master smooth charismatic leader Steven Miller.

      Unlike master smooth charismatic leader Donald Trump?

      All he needs to do is slur some slurs and his base will eat it up. There’s nothing fancy behind them, just a lack of humanity.

        Yeah it’s a cult of personality. DeSantis wanted it but they said No.

        Lindsey Graham thought he could weasel his way in, they laughed him out. Perjury Traitor Greed has all the credentials but, let’s be honest, she identifies as a woman, and they’re not electing that. Plus she’s plain old insane. He’s demented. It’s a fine but distinct line.

          Yeah but if trump croaks, there will be a power vacuum, and these are the kinds of people who need someone to worship.

            With any luck they’ll display all of the hatred and animosity that made them famous toward each other.

            Y’know like the left does.

            Hi-oooooooo!

          Desantis wears shoe inserts and graham is very clearly a closeted homosexual. Miller is hateful and patriotic and has the balls to atleast appear to be himself. That is all they like about trump aside from his illusion of wealth. “The way he just says what he means.” It will either be miller or miller will continue to control from the background and let vance be the scapegoat for when things get ugly.

            Stephen Miller can never fill Trump’s shoes. Trump at least has charisma - he can charm and flatter people and keep a smile on his face. Miller is just hatred manifest, not to mention he exudes insecurity and he looks like a cartoon villain. Zero redeeming qualities. He has to stay in the background so people don’t see the ugly face of their agenda.

            I mean - no. I know, i know, but seriously. They don’t even like Steve Bourbon, and he’s tried to be in the media as much as possible. Plus Miller is. Y’know.

            Let’s just say close but no cigar.

              Bannon is a raging alcoholic that exudes Jabba the Hutt energy. I think of all of them, miller is the most immediately “effective”. I think given vances early ties to the paypal mafia, he is next in line for puppet.
