Trump the dumbass, should have figured out a way to get RUBIO on the ticket. Would have been an absolute GRAND SLAM. The ability to speak Spanish would have been overwhelmingly positive.

I mean I don’t think Vance fucked that couch, but I think he should release a statement or his long form birth certificate to disprove the rumors. His silence seems suspicious.

Vance can certainly shake off this very poor start. However, it doesn't take away from the DJT ability to be a political moron. This guy absolutely sucks at garnering any plus side positives. The perceived group of "yes men" that he surrounds himself with is a HUGE disadvantage!

Are you trying to "punk" everyone on the XavierHoops Politics Thread?

You are one smooth prankster Xuphan!!!!

How is this “punking” anyone? She is the perfect candidate for Trump because of how loyal she is to him and gets the MAGA supporters. Would help with the women vote which took a hit with JDs “cat lady” comment. She would rally an already strong base which was way ahead in the polls before Vance. Wonder if Trump is regretting taking Vance as his VP?

She’s way too crazy and far right to bring in the women that trump needs. He probably should have groveled and bent the knee to nikki.

She is the female version of Trump! It is exactly what Trump needs and how Trump likes to operate. Trump has everything going for him destroying Biden in the debate to surviving an assassination attempt and should have taken the safe choice with MTG. I wouldnt call her crazy choice after what Vance has said lately. Personally think Vance has opened the door for the Democrats to get back in the race. Also, Nikki would never work because she wouldn’t be able to stomach Trumps orders. However, what she did to her fan base fully backing Trump was a bit laughable. Hopefully that RNC paycheck was worth it for her.

I am not understanding your logic here. Mtg wouldn’t bring in new people to trump. Trump needs votes in the swing states, mtg wouldn’t do that.

Are we really saying JD Vance is going to lock down the swing states for Trump? Trump has never polled higher this campaign with his debate win and surviving the assassination attempt and winning the Supreme Court rulings. He really just needs to hold down the fort which Vance is stripping away with his comments. MYG would have maintained the momentum Trump has had over the past couple of months.

Those two were not the only options.

There are plenty of picks that would have done much better than either of them:

Youngkin
Nikki
A chair
A Piece of pizza

But if someone other than Vance were VP, we wouldn't be seeing the phrase "Vanceturbation" trending right now.
