Tucker Carlson has gone mad, really lost it, and J.D. Vance is being dragged down along with him.

I get it; Vance is friends with Carlson and Carlson was a huge factor in Vance windup up where he is. It's really hard to throw a friend overboard, even when that friend has gone batcrap crazy. It's admirable in a way. But it is a huge political mistake.

I have a lot of Jewish friends on Facebook and all of them are absolutely disgusted with Vance and won't be won back by his kowtowing to Carlson and his anti-Israel Judaphobia. Vance has probably lost all of the Jews, and any money they would have donated. While Jews are more often in the Democrat Party than the GOP, it is not an inconsiderable number of Jews who will now stay home if Vance is the nominee.

Unless Vance makes a big turnaround I'll have to support Amnesty Marco Rubio in the election (spit!) I had been pleasantly surprised by Vance, but that's waning. He's strting to show himself to be just what I feared.

If Vance wants a political future he's going to have to distance himself from the self-destructing Tucker Carlson (as should the rest of the GOP - Carlson is toxic). I know it may seem disloyal to him, and I wouldn't want to be in this position, but it's his only option to remain politically viable.

My hope is Ron DeSantis runs, or Ted Cruz. I can get behind those two guys. I hate having to support Little Marco but I may have to do it (he's been an excellent Secretary of State, but I don't trust him at the helm of the ship as he betrayed us once and a guy who will do that will do it again.)

We desperately need someone who will follow the same policies as Mr. Trump and won't try to make a "legacy" for himself by kowtowing to the Demo-Left as GOP Presidents so often do. That gets them good press but does not build a permanent legacy. Trump didn't do that and that's why history will probably treat him as a great man as opposed to a good one. Reagan was despised when he was in office too and now history admits his greatness. Nobody will argue either Bush was a great President. It's not just about popularity with the media.

Anyone who follows Trumpianism will succeed. Remember, Alexander wasn't the first great in Macedonia; his father Philip had turned his hillbilly barbarian land north of Greece proper into a great power, then Alexander took that and ran with it. Whoever follows Trump could do likewise BUT only if they follow a MAGA program and don't worry about what the media says.

Vance looked like such a prospect. But his flirtation with Carlson sure isn't looking promising.
