Mr carville did mention eye makeup and false lashes tonight. I did wonder what that was about…
Before Vance grew the beard (and married a beard–or was it after?), he looked a bit doughy and overly youthful for his age (i.e., baby face), but I don’t think he’s particularly unattractive.
Said as a 110% straight male, of course.
What’s really the problem with Vance in the aesthetic domain? I think he comes across as, well, immature. He doesn’t have the gravitas of even the typical 39-year-old. Rather, he seems like an edgelord teen busting out a variety of “radical” alt-right positions and policies. When he was promoting his book and trashing Trump, he doesn’t strike me as particularly fake and insincere. Now, he does. To a maximal degree.
In short, he’s not ready for prime time. There is no way this guy is going to be elected. Ergo, neither will Trump.
Can we not?
Right. Like there was “no way” TFG would be the candidate. And “no way” he would show up to the debate with President Biden.
Said by someone who otherwise agrees with 90% of your “takes” on here.
David Pakman reports on Trump’s interview with Laura Ingraham, in which he talks (incoherently) about the Vance pick:
Thanks! I plan to make a post soon on why Harris will win. Or rather, if Trump were to win, what would be the underpinnings / reasons for that? Less a prediction and more an analysis of the situation.
Nevermind.
I don’t know who David Pakman is, but he’s pretty annoying with his frequent interruptions and dramatic reactions.
So who should be Trump’s running mate at this point, from a POV of his personal interest?
Haley would alienate his base.
And I’m thinking that anyone else has a bigger history of extreme and weird statements.
Sarah Sanders has gotten enough media coverage to be well-vetted, and would signal low-info centrists that Trump is somewhat more sensible than he is in fact. So if I had to give Trump truthful friendly advice, I’d say to switch to Sanders.
From a standpoint of planetary well-being, and limiting to those who would say yes if asked, I would say Haley. She would try to rein him in, and, if Trump had big health issues, maybe she could.
He’s chasing the ghost of Vance’s political career.
I am reevaluating my original answer as we speak.
Vance: “I would call my wife up here to speak but then I think I’d have to sleep on the couch”
“Please clap.”
Wow. I guess he forgot all about that couch business already.
Snopes has confirmed that a Facebook post from 2007 shows JD Vance passed out drunk on the floor of his dorm.
Seems like ever since I was a teenager people have been telling my generation “Be careful what you post online because 30 years from now you’ll run for president and everyone will find out what a disgusting goblin you were”.
I guess he never got the memo.
Getting funnier.

“One of these things is not like the others…
Did the Republicans forget about the vetting process? Seems like they for sure did. I would guess Trump’s operational guy that had that on the checklist was most likely fired at some point.
Right? Like, c’mon, man. If we lined up all 8 billion humans in order of who should most avoid talking about couches in public speeches, JD Vance would be the line leader.
Agreed. Who gives a hoot that a college student had too much to drink and falls asleep/passes out on the floor?
There’s enough crap that he’s done in the public sphere to focus on.
