In reply to the discussion: "Trump is quickly becoming irrelevant to the MAGA movement...Peter Thiel's surrogate is warming up in the bullpen" [View all]Miles Archer
(22,099 posts)27. I think their heads are too small to hold that much information
I don't see Thiel becoming a positive OR negative "media figure" in their world.
A big part of it is that he won't seek that kind of attention. Although I could be wrong. I don't see a "President JD Vance" in the cards, but if it happened...God forbid...maybe Thiel would relish a role akin to Stephen Miller, sort of "Dark Lord" of the clown car.
Then again, Russell Vought has that kind of role right now. The media names him by name but I'll bet that if you stop 10 random people on the street and say "Russell Vought" they'll reply "WHO?"

OP
Without Trump the MAGA movement will collapse. It's a cult, that's what happens to cults.

Agreed. And Bondi is only like 14 Mar a Lago Face surgeries away from a recurring Fox stint.

So who is Peter Thiel's back-up TACO? I don't think there is a back up candidate. I hope it's Butthead Jr. ...

Jail is a fantasy. For Miller, a pine box is needed. And Vance knows HE doesnt have "it"
