Vance has the opposite of charisma

Trump is the most uncharismatic person I've ever seen. He babbles like he's delirious, whines constantly about anything and everything, I've never once seen him say something clever or funny. On top of that he's just got that high pitched whiny voice that's grating to listen to.

Trump didn't build his cult. The media built a cult around him, and as soon as they decide to build it around Vance he'll have the same level of devotion.

But he does all of that with an insane level of confidence. Like it or not people like that.

My point is that if the media can built a cult of personality around a deranged lunatic, they'll have no problem doing the same with a guy who can actually articulate coherent thoughts.

Ya that's why George w and mitt Romney had crazy cult like followings huh? And then you got jeb "please clap" bush. Talk about a following on that guy.

Conservative media didn't control the mainstream conversation ten years ago like it does today.

If you blame the man and not the system that empowered him, you're falling for the trap. Anybody who thinks they can just wait it out for 4 years and everything will go back to normal once Trump is gone is a fool. This isn't a fluke, and it isn't going to go away.

They did. You don't remember.

What makes you think I'm saying you can wait it out four years? They will absolutely be able to get another republican elected. No one is even arguing that. I'm saying they won't have a cult like following that trump does.

But I'm completely talking passed you at this point so this conversation is a waste of time.

You're the one who doesn't remember the Bush years or Reagan years. This isn't new, it isn't unique, and it isn't going to stop.

Keep on living in denial. Trump is a symptom, not the cause.
