Trump is the party and the base is looking for someone with charisma, not another suit. If the field is so flat that Vance or Rubio could become party nominee, then the party is dead. Trump chose Vance because he didn’t want someone who would outshine him. Vance will only be President if Trump croaks.

The don’t want to send a case to the Supreme Court that would rule on the side of homemade firearms.

The party should not decide. When the party decides, they work for big business and undermine the democratic process. Politicians should be chosen by voters who elect them. In the case of recent presidential primaries the party has put their thumb on the scale to undermine voters. The party establishment is the problem.
They even failed to remove Biden from running for a second term. He had to drop out after a donor pulled funding. This showed that the people in charge of the party are not the politicians, but the donors. It was pathetic and the party should be treated as an extension of their rich donors. I don’t have a billion dollars, do you?

No, we literally need to enforce a retirement age on elected offices. You can’t run once you hit retirement age.

Yes.
We need to set limits for the age of our politicians. These people are too old and frail to lead.
One day they’re cheating the stock market with insider trading and the next they’re falling down and getting gravely injured.
Or they disappear into a nursing home because of their advanced dementia, or they just turn the capitol into their nursing home, like Feinstein.
Or they’re taking up space on some panel despite their aggressive cancer diagnosis, only to die and delay government hearings.

He’s lived a long life and had no consequences for anything he’s ever done.

Pretty sure it was made a federal crime. Also, there’s a little website, called X.com run by the world’s first (former) trillionaire that the government could shut down if they wanted to enforce the law. (It’s the most mainstream site violating the law.)
Put in a Democrat. Get a super majority. Pack the court. Very simple.
