So is Trump beginning to maneuver against both of his two heirs apparently?

Yes.

Yes, he is.

Okay.

Because that's the bottom line of what you're suggesting.

100%.

And that he's pitting them against each other.

At the end of the day, he'll take neither.

And he will then propose some relative or somebody else.

Is that what this is about?

Stay tuned then, because it's interesting, all the conversation about Rubio versus-

Vance, the comparing of their Munich speeches.

And again, what I thought was the odd choice of Vance rather than Rubio to lead the delegation.

But the idea that at the end of it, there's a curtain three and the president's thinking about curtain three rather than curtains one or two.

That's when this starts to get really interesting.

I do think there's others who could come in in 28.

Trump, in a funny sort of way, has opened the aperture.

So might even be people who are not quote unquote obvious and even professional politicians.

It might also depend upon how poorly Trump and company Republicans perform in the midterms, how the economy looks.

I don't know if ultimately it's 28, like with the Nikki Haley's or the former governor of Virginia, whether there's a place for more centrist Republicans, the kind of Republicans I work for in my career.
