Realistically they're barely even leaks and contain no real surprises or anything we never heard before. Though I do see merit here as besides the opposition pressing this huge to make a big scandal of it, which frankly they might as well give them something to try to rally around. For my interest it really serves to help keep the Successor plotline alive. Lots of movement in the wider Successor plotline we been observing as several players rise and fall in favor. Vance is bigly vindicated by this even further, he's exactly what we want, been fearing he'd be a RINO behind closed doors. To be frank I wanted Tim Scott or Byron Donalds to be VP pick so I was a lil skeptical on JD Vance at first. JD Vance really winning me over hard though, I like how he is not afraid to stand up to the Europeans and to go to bat for America First. I think despite my personal view JD Vance now firmly overtakes Rubio as the prime leader of the Successors. Rubio though suffers no damage, he's smart and still my personal favorite pick of the litter, but he also kinda like with the Zelensky fiasco just sits their quietly observing while JD Vance tries to rationalize with these Huns. Tulsi already a longshot for being a far leftwinger that nominally defected to the GOP of course I think the democrats will be eager to do damage to her so she'll suffer minor damage. Hegseth will take the most damage politically but frankly I think it's just his response to it is kinda meatheaded, but then again you kinda expect that from well a meathead that is a literal decorated 21st century war hero. Besides political value though really it's not very bombastic and the actual contents of the leak are actually inline with our thinking and not really controversial or out of the norm really of American actions or thinking on the issue of Yemen and Red Sea.
