JD just wants the big desk. i don't think he really has any scruples about how it happens. he would have done it on day 1 if he could have pulled it off.

but especially as we get later into the summer, if we're still BSing around iran, trump's approvals are still in the shitter, and the impending midterms are looking bleak, i could see a palace coup.

i think hegseth and RFKJr would never flip, but little marco would go absolutely along. i think a lot of the lower positions are kind of windsocks and could be talked into it.

the biggest issue would be the house and senate votes, but i think if it started looking like they were clearly going to lose the senate as well as the house, and the leadership of the old guard GOP felt like it gave them a chance to hang on to the senate, they might consider it.

super longshot on all of this, though. it's risky and you don't want to kendall roy this thing if you're JD. the risk calculus is more to just wait out the great big beautiful blood clot.
