    One thing’s for sure: JD Vance will be shit on and thrown under the bus.

    That’s The Turmp Guarantee!

    Mike Pence is a milquetoast HIV enthusiast with the looks and personality of a Q-Tip but it didn’t deter the dimwits in 2016.

      Conservative Christians / Evangelicals loved Pence. He was a big reason Trump was elected imo. I don’t think this new jabroni will help trump like pence did.

          The vocal components are loud but don’t let them speak for everyone. Pence was a special candidate. He had a legitimate following. Vance might be able to get the GOP vote but he’s not getting the Christian vote like Pence was able to represent.

            Isn’t Donald going to get the Christian vote on his own because most Evangelicals have lost their goddamn minds?

              That’s what I thought. My Christian parents went from anti-Hillary voters in 2016 to pro-Trump voters in 2020.

        I’m not sure Trump needs that kind of supporting appeal this time around. He survived an assassination attempt - to his religious followers, that is divine providence.

        I believe the new jabroni was chosen for entirely different reasons. There is a significant MAGA uprising going on in Silicon Valley, and Vance is well connected there. This is an inroad previously impassable for republicans…

        Basically, like… How the hell did anyone greenlight this? I’m starting to think Vance is the GOP’s biggest weakness right now. Ya know his name wasn’t always Vance, he actually changed it because he had trauma associated with his previous name due to parental abuse.

        And yet he wants to ban transpeople from changing THEIR names…

        Hypocrite

        Right? I wish all Republican ads were this blatant, I wish they had been back in 2012… We’d never have been in this situation to begin with.

      Hahahaha the community notes.

      JD Vance’s mother utilized her position as a nurse to steal prescribed medication from her patients, not because of undocumented immigrants.

    Vance doesn’t win any demographic that was lagging for Trump. Anyone who likes Vance was already voting Trump. Strategically on that alone, he’s a wasted pick. (I’m not complaining, don’t worry)

      I heard somewhere he has connections to money that Trump needs for the campaign, so that might be what drove it.

      It’s pretty clear Vance previously hated Trump. And it’s surprising Trump picked Vance after those comments, but when neither person has a moral compass to stick to, just like the rest of the party, overlooking those kinds of issues becomes much easier.

        If Trump wins Vance is gonna have him killed so he can assume power. Terrible mistake for Trump. Maybe even worse for the every day person.

      No, no, no. You simply misunderstood him.

      You were supposed to be in a subservient mental coma by the point you actually listen to him speak. Duh.

    I mean, it’s not like they could ever find anyone worse than trump. I doubt this will hurt Trump’s election seeing as how republicans are already fine electing a conman rapist pedophile scumbag.

    knowing how these guys like to act tough and force people to kiss the ring I bet this could just have been trump putting vance into a position where he in no way can talk bad about trump after him being “anti-trump”

    Okay guys, the pool is open, we are now taking bets on how long it will take before Trump will throw this little shit stain under his bus.

    I say in under 6 months
