Politics Thread

Good to see that not only do we have the two worst presidential candidates in history but they now have both backed it up with equally terrible vp picks.

At least Vance is smart I guess. Just has imo a horrible worldview, and it’s a politically dumb move considering he’s a trump acolyte.

Talk about healing the country! Trump is even willing to partner with a guy who once called him Hitler! :)

You're saying JD is a Democrat or a member of the dreaded MSM? I thought those were the only people who compared him to Hilter ?

Actually surprised that he didn't pick Haley to overcome the Dobbs effect and pull in suburban women.
Underestimated his need to be the star of the show, and she showed some backbone on the trail.
JD, et al. are more of the boot licker types that won't take away from him in the limelight.

I don’t think Haley would do it. She probably privately hates him, but publicly licked him up for political reasons

Sorry Trump didn’t pick you Ville. :)

I don't think Vance is that bad. I also don't think he's that good. I'd probably pick him as the best of the bunch.

Damning with faint praise, I know.

I think politically it’s dumb because he’s trump, but maybe it doesn’t matter because the opposition is a guy that is dying.

A dying man and Cackles the Prosecuting Clown.

I actually don’t know why you would think he’s not that good.
-Pulls himself up by his bootstraps from lower middle class childhood to become successful.
-Was a faithful Marine.
-Is Catholic
-Wrote a successful book that Ron Howard made into a successful movie.
-Graduated from Ohio State and later earned a Yale Law degree.
-Is not overly dogmatic and willing to change his thoughts based upon what he sees indicating flexibility.
-Is young and a counterbalance to the Ancient Artifacts running for President.

Sounds like a true American success story who wants to serve his country.
I voted for him, proudly.

Such a great patriot with his fake charity in which he used money to fund his campaign. A great American!

Freely admitted the only reason he survived was because of his grandpa that had a union job with great benefits… something he’s tried to get rid of his entire career.

He’s a fraud that will do and say whatever it takes to get him to win. Not unlike many politicians I guess, but your positives above are hilarious. He’s “catholic” yeah so is Biden. He’s educated—yeah so are most senators. He’s young. So is aoc. He was in the marines—-yeah he wrote stories, that’s big time.

Again. I’m very sorry Trump didn’t pick you to be VP.
