I didn't think Vance was a bad option given the popularity of his book, his military service, and his apparent ties with the tech bros and wealthy donors like Peter Thiel. I do recall reading about Vance's only election (in 2022) in which he under-performed relative to other Republicans in statewide races. Some of that may have been attributable to Tim Ryan being an above average opponent. I suppose it's also possible that there is something about Vance that has turned off a portion of voters - even before Trump picked him and before many of his quotes became mainstream knowledge. To me, the reactions to his statements and his public performances since the convention have also underscored that Trump has a unique ability to benefit from saying offensive things, and that's not an easy thing to imitate on a national level.
Theoretically, Vance could save the ticket by turning into a black woman. It appears to be working for Kamala.
This guy has absolutely no charisma and will get embarrassed on a national debate stage against anyone Kamala picks as her VP running mate. Trump’s bid to get back into the White House gets dimmer by the minute.
ruh roh, the children are fighting Trump world erupts amid reports Kellyanne Conway trashing JD Vance (msn.com) Longtime Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway is behind a series of anonymous criticisms over the decision to pick Ohio senator JD Vance as the former president’s running mate, according to a report. Conway, who managed Trump’s 2016 campaign and served as an official counselor in his White House, allegedly favored Marco Rubio and has been airing criticisms of Vance in the press and among fellow Republicans since, according to twenty people associated with the campaign and larger Trump machine, who spoke with the publication.
I thought when I first saw that meme it was a really bad joke by MAGA (arrow pointing straight to the ear).
Geez you guys are really leaning into the whole liberals dont have a sense of humor thing. It's like Sheldon Cooper level sarcasm grasping in this thread.
You could also have gone with 54 days in space versus six months in Iraq. Might not get your funnies and likes, though.
As a Navy pilot, Mark Kelly made multiple deployments on the aircraft carrier USS Midway and flew 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm. Senator Kelly is the recipient of the Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit, two Distinguished Flying Crosses, and multiple Air Medals. JD Vance joined the US Marine Corps, where he served as a combat correspondent with six months in Iraq.
LOL. And what, exactly, did your "warrior" do in Iraq? Public Affairs section of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing dealing with the media. Now, we all understand those press conferences can get a little testy, but to equate that with combat service is a disservice to our actual combat veterans.
You guys missed the point. I’m not comparing their war records. I’m criticizing using one person‘s real record versus a sick fantasy about someone else.
Speaking of missing the point, why aren't you blaming the guy who had his way with the couch? Are you blaming Flipper for his other fetish?
No i got it, you just should have used a different example than trying to invoke his military record - it was kind of a layup. The couch thing is about as relevant as Harris’ laugh or dating history… so apparently it’s very relevant.
It is funny but not funny that comments by the left about sex with a couch and dolphin porn are cool on too hot but if I mention Kamala on her knees I get deleted for being gross.
