33. But he'd also be able to appear sane

and unlike Trump, he's actually smart. He'd be just as crooked stealing the vote, but not stupid enough to ignore warnings about the Straights of Hormuz. Nor is he likely in the Epstein files, or guilty of J6 or stealing documents. Everything that might bring down Trump, JD is not implicated in. No, he has no charisma, but all they have to do is come up with a Quanon like conspiracy with him as the hero.

I still think we have to discredit the whole administration to get ourselves out of this.
