Continuing the discussion from Who will be Trump's running mate? (J. D. Vance Has Been Chosen):
Per mod suggestion, this is a new thread for all topics surrounding Donald Trump’s running mate.
Thank you. Truly.
I encourage folks who participate to link back to any post in the other thread if they wish to respond to it.
Here’s the thread, so it’s easy to find:
Trump picked one of the worst possible VPs he could have chosen. Vance doesn’t win a single vote over to Trump that wasn’t already going to Trump to begin with - and loses Trump quite a few besides. Had Trump picked Nikki Haley, this would be a competitive presidential election right now.
The picking of Vance, combined with the D’s switching from Biden to Kamala, has effectively sunk the Trump campaign. The Rs are trailing by three touchdowns at this point.
You know who dislikes Vance a lot? Old people.
That’s not a demographic the Republicans can afford to alienate.
Oh man, could you imagine that? It’d be the Bizzaro Harris/Walz ticket. “Me am trying to lose Presidential race. Me am asking you to vote for other party!”
So far he’s pissed off women, older folks, white supremacists, black farmers….he’s the gift that keeps giving!
The debates would be more interesting anyway.
He’s pissed off white supremacists? I missed that.
His wife isn’t white enough to suit them. She’s of Indian descent.
Ah. Thanks for info.
More info:
Nick Fuentes in particular has been openly feuding with Vance and it’s very much reciprocated.
A number of far right influencers are threatening a “digital war” against the Trump campaign now.

It’s difficult to overstate how much of a blunder this has been.
You’d almost have to pen some kind of hillbilly elegy.
But you’ll try?
I ain’t got the energy. 
David Pakman is referring to him as J. D. Lindell.
No matter what kind of language it was couched in, it will never be enough to bolster Vance’s spirit or cushion the blow of having the stuffing knocked out of him worse than the Ottoman empire in World War I.
JP Mandel.
I watch David Pakman just about every day, he’s by far my favorite political commentator.
I still enjoy the description of J.D as a hillwilliam.
They always start eating each other, don’t they?
I just hope they do it soon enough and chompily enough to lose Trump this election.
But the enemy of my enemy is still not my friend.
The enemy of my enemy is my ally of convenience.
