A lot of those "traitors" are called Independents now. I'm thinking Vance-Gabbard 2028

I think it's pretty obvious...especially if Gabbard does a great job as DNI.

But yeah, Vance gets the job in 4 years.

The problem is that DNI is as much of a make-work job as VP. Unless....Trump has given her and Ratcliffe specific orders to gut the Intel State. Which I sure as hell hope he has.

I think (maybe that's hope!) that Gabbard will force the IC to reorient toward understanding national security issues, both DOMESTIC and foreign. These foreign policy war positions are NOT in our national security interests.

Stopping corruption in foreign policy is her greatest challenge.

Independents are like skunks with yellow stripes. Why yellow? Because they got run over in the middle of the road. No one votes for independents. And the "independents" in Congress are just partisans without the courage to actually declare their party.
