(I realize that much of this will be familiar to most of you. Because it's been a while since I've read anyone expounding on this possibility, and because review is always valuable - especially in a forum where you have new people coming in every day - I thought it might be good to reprise this topic today. And if I happen to add any fresh insight to the question, well, then that's all fine and good, as we used to say.)

To me, Vance has always been a strange pick for VP. Correct if I'm wrong, but the only substantial thing the guy has ever run is his non-profit, Our Ohio Renewal.

(Please don't reply, "Well, he ran his campaign for U.S. Senate." It wasn't so w/ Trump or Obama or other presidential candidates. In every case, those duties were executed by their campaign manager.)

So why Vance? Because he served the people of Ohio so well? Because he's got a great beard? On paper, it just doesn't add up.

As do many others here, I wholeheartedly believe JFK Jr is still alive, that the airplane accident was faked p by white hats to get him to someplace off the grid, someplace safe. Why? So when the time was right, he may emerge (forgive the expression) as "the rightful heir to the throne."

(I'm not talking about presidential family dynasties now. I'm talking about picking up the baton that was dropped when his father was assassinated to finally slay the dragon that took his father from him, driving a stake through the heart of the Military-Industrial Complex and every other source of corruption, both foreign and domestic.)

Though I'm excited for what a second Trump term might look do, I'm beginning to believe it's more likely that:

Once he is sworn in, his first action will be to pardon John F. Kennedy Jr. for any and all crimes related to faking his death.

Trump will soon after resign, making the placeholder Vance the 48th president of this great republic.

Once Vance is sworn in, he will nominate JFK Jr. to be his VP. And because the political cost of voting against would be enormous, he will be approved in both houses unanimously.

Vance will soon after resign, making JFK Jr. our 49th president.

(Bear with me know. I've got to set the table if I'm going to drive my point home.)

I taught high school English for twenty years, most recently at a classical Christian here in the upper Midwest. Late in my career, after diving into the novels we were reading more deeply than I ever had before, I came to better understand and appreciate:

By virtue of her life experience, no one who had ever lived could have written Frankenstein as deeply and personally as Mary Shelley. Had another person tried, even with an outline of the general storyline, the end result would be something else entirely. The same goes for the works of every great artist.

Scholars call this "authorial uniqueness." Keep this in mind as I close:

In Butler, after he'd been shot, Trump stood up despite the efforts of Secret Service agents to shield him. He pumped his fist in the air, chanting, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Trump's rising despite the lethal threat wasn't merely instinct or messaging. We saw in that moment the very essence of the man, and the degree to which he was willing to further sacrifice himself for you and me and this great nation of ours. In light of authorial uniqueness, I'm convinced: no one but Trump has both the fire and the spine to do what he did that day.

Similarly, after JFK Jr. takes the oath of office, by virtue of the incalculable personal sacrifice that he, his father, his uncle, and their family have made for our nation, America's favorite son will have such enormous political capital and popularity that he will have everything he requires to right the wrongs of the past and make America great again.
