    I think he’s as dangerous as any Republican candidate can be. He’s young, he’s got name recognition and has been practicing his angry MAGA act to the point of credibility for some time. Most importantly, he is learning at the master’s knee how to control the instrument that is the MAGA voting block and won’t fail to apply those lessons in spades when it’s time for him to run. I am dubious about whether Trump voters will turn out for him, but I can’t imagine anyone better positioned to make a run for them than him. Remember in Trump’s first term how we all said “oh shit, now that’s he’s shown our government to be more norms than law, what happens if someone actually smart comes along to exploit that?” JV Dunce could be that person.

      Dangerous to republicans maybe. Just like Hillary as a forgone conclusion was dangerous to Democrats in 2016, and Biden was dangerous to Democrats in 2024.
