At least IMO. Trump is an incurious clown that's easily manipulated. We knew that, and not sure it could get any worse. Not surprising some of the others are just unqualified and got put their to be rubber stamp.
But Rubio and Vance are intelligent enough to know better (and clearly do based on this account), but they're too interested in riding the grift train to actually stand on principle.
But yeah. Nothing about this account is at all surprising it plays out in all facets exactly as people predicted.
