Anyone who is similar to Bernie Sanders will likely not even be nominated by the Democratic party.

It's way too early, but I'm calling Newsom (or Buttigieg) vs. Rubio. I don't think Vance has the charisma to win over voters and his politics are too bland to fire up the base, hence Rubio.

Also, Bernie will be 87 in 2028.

EDIT: Oops, I misread.

I listened to JD's entire Rogan interview (for about 2 hrs IIRC) and was unimpressed with him. He repeated MAGA/Republican party boilerplate & culture war agitation.

He came across as a hardcore social climber with no original ideas of his own. For instance he seems to have joined the military mainly with wanting it as a status symbol to pad his resume, get veterans' benefits (college tuition) and not out of desire to be a soldier. Also I do wonder how a college student from humble origins was able to attach himself to a billionaire sponsor so easily and secure such high level patronage. Thiel sponsored his whole career, helped him get a major book deal (the political/pseudo biographical/fictional ) in college, and then funded millions for his Senate seat years later. Thiel essentially treated this guy like his son.

How JD did this is more interesting than anything else, because without a billionaire sponsor he'd probably be a nobody.

As VP all he does is act as Trump's lackey.
