    Yes he did or language to that effect. Of course that was when J.D. still had balls before Trump metaphorically castrated him.

    I don't think the VP pick was ever a determining factor although it may have had some impact in 2008 when John McCain selected Sarah Palin the original MAGA candidate eight years before Trump started using the label. Palin was MAGA before there was a MAGA.

    Sweet. An omnipotent god is among us. How will the gators do this season?

    A republican being shot by another republican is pretty motivating to someone I am sure.

    Good point. USUALLY the pick doesn’t much matter but that one was beyond the pale.

    I saw Vance in some public appearance a month or so ago and it seemed obvious to me he had had some “work” done to his face and was heavily made up. Probably was told to to contrast with Biden’s obvious age. I knew then he had a really good shot.

    Nothing at all about this post makes a shred of sense. One term left, lol. Do you try to make these as absurd as possible?

    a few quotes….

    “I’m a Never Trump guy,”

    “My god what an idiot,”

    “Trump is cultural heroin”

    “I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place,”

    Uh… You know that Trump as his gang wanted to try to stay in power under some wacko legal theory that the Vice President can veto the election results, right? Pence wouldn’t play along. I’m sure he screened his candidates for VP with this question. JD might have been the only idiot to nod yes.

    Proof he wasn't, besides what you feel? Cause there's plenty of proof he was.

    looks like retribution and having a hatchet man wins out.

    follow the money. Thiel taking over, has a female insider in the campaign that pushed Vance hard.

    What Peter Thiel, J.D. Vance, and Others Are Learning From Curtis Yarvin and the New Right | Vanity Fair

    Thiel has given more than $10 million to super PACs supporting the men’s candidacies, and both are personally close to him. Vance is a former employee of Thiel’s Mithril Capital, and Masters, until recently the COO of Thiel’s so-called “family office,” also ran the Thiel Foundation, which has become increasingly intertwined with this New Right ecosystem. These three—Thiel, Vance, Masters—are all friends with Curtis Yarvin, a 48-year-old ex-programmer and blogger who has done more than anyone to articulate the world historical critique and popularize the key terms of the New Right. You’ll often hear people in this world—again under many layers of irony—call him things like Lord Yarvin, or Our Prophet.

    do you think he would help restructure the FBI and the DOJ and the education department and ..... and fill them with MAGA loyalists regardless of what the rules are?

    You can’t really play this off like that when it’s literally what Trump tried to do last time his team lost…. End democracy….
