Who will be Trump's running mate? (J. D. Vance Has Been Chosen)

I have not seen such a terrible candidate/ad in years. Not since Romney have I seen such a lack of charisma. Seriously.

Without your money, I don’t get my snickers and diet Mountain Dew. It’s OK JD, I think I’ll just organize a canned food drive for you. It’s sad when all you can afford is junk food.

If Romney were an unknown, and you were making a film, and you needed to cast someone as the President of the United States for that one scene where a serious-looking guy in a business suit delivers a few key words of exposition from the Oval Office, you’d pick Romney.

If Vance were an unknown, and you were making a film, and someone asked you for five bucks for a candy bar and a diet soda, you’d get bored halfway through if it were Vance.

If he’s really a drag I see Trump seeing replacing him in positive terms: doing it during or right after the Democratic convention to try to gain possession of the news cycle.

He would actually be better off with Quayle.

George Santos is available!

That would almost make me want to vote for him.

I wonder if we could make “Chaise Longue” by Wet Leg his theme song.

Hey you, over there
On the chaise longue in your underwear
What are you doing sitting down?
You should be horizontal now

I can’t believe that’s real. (I mean, I know it is, but I can’t believe it.) Just so shockingly stupid and low budget.

Is that literally being used as an AD?!

OMFG, these dumbfucks are soooo toast.

Hahahaha. The ironic thing is that, as good a joke as that is, Santos would literally be an improvement over Vance.

One has OnlyFans, one is only Vance. Also I need to find that terrible ad so I can send it to people.

Between Trump and his table full of junk food and Vance’s craft services table, the two of them are really doing their thing for the unhealthy eating industry.

I just don’t even understand his point. This food is bad, please help us buy some more to energize our campaign?

It’s just bizarre.

The diet Mountain Dew balances out the Snickers.

Mountain Dew is a dog whistle. It’s huge in Appalachia, and takes its name from a slang for moonshine. Vance has been talking about how he loves diet Mountain Dew, and he doesn’t care that he might get attacked for that from the left.

(I learned this from a professor on Smerconish show this morning).

Does admitting to drinking diet soda hurt him with that crowd?

As much as regular mountain dew is great, Diet Mountain Dew tastes like Crystal Light lemonade that’s gone bad.

Except for the taste, I don’t think drinking diet will hurt him. There are plenty of fitness fans with wacky right wing beliefs these days.

I’ve seen screenshots purportedly showing a scan of the page that describes the alleged incident. As much as I’d like it to be true, I pointed out that images can be (and often are) fake. Another post claimed that the passage appeared in the first edition of the book, but was deleted from further editions. I really wish a reliable source could obtain a first edition.

I honestly think the Diet versions of Mt. Dew come closest to replicating the regular versions of any soda on the market. But I should qualify that by saying that I kinda liked Crystal Light lemonade as a kid :wink:.
