This bastard went from comparing Trump to Hitler in 2016 and calling him “an idiot, noxious and reprehensible” to kissing his ass and becoming his VP in only 8 years.
What a vile, self serving, spineless man.

VOTE IN NOVEMBER. http://www.vote.gov
Zero experience governing.
Zero experience in foreign policy.
Exceedingly unlikable and totally unscrupulous.
Stellar pick that.
“Should we pick someone to broaden the base? No, let’s double down.”
And why did Trump need a new VP again? Oh, that’s right. The last one was almost killed by the mob he incited. Maybe the media could remind everyone about that.
“Trump chooses VP who called him America’s Hitler”
The ads write themselves.
J.D. Vance on Donald Trump:
“I’m a never-Trump guy”
“I never liked him”
“Terrible candidate”
“Idiot if you voted for him”
“Might be America’s Hitler”
“Might be a cynical a**hole”
“Cultural Heroin”
“Noxious”
“Reprehensible”
We agree, JD!
Reminder that this guy opposes bills protecting the LBGT community and has been vocal about CUTTING social security. Vote.
“My God what an idiot.” Vance on Trump 2016.
A lot of Vance quotes bashing Trump making the rounds now, from back in 2016 or whenever. But this is the quote that should be atop every story:
> If I had been vice president, I would have told the states, like Pennsylvania, Georgia and so many others, that we needed to have multiple slates of electors, and I think the U.S. Congress should have fought over it from there.
Republicans do not believe in democracy.
An objectively bad political pick. Vance brings nothing to the ticket that Trump didn’t already have.
For as destructive and malicious Trump is, we’re very fortunate that he sucks at politics. Aside from sitting in the chair while Mitch McConnell installed Supreme Court Justices, Donald Trump has accomplished nothing except to sell his personal brand.
There are no policies. No downticket support. No party strategy.
It all comes down to vote for this celebrity who you are a fan of. It’s not even politics.
Here are some of my top J.D. Vance quotes about Trump:
“I’m a Never Trump guy, I never liked him.”.
“My god what an idiot.”.
“I go back and forth between thinking Trump might be a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he might be America’s Hitler,”
Say what you will about Mike Pence (go ahead, say anything you want), but eight years ago, as Trump’s running mate:
1. He brought a sense of normalcy and blandness to an otherwise chaotic ticket, to assuage nervous R voters fearing what an unchecked Trump might do in times of crises
2. He was an establishment Republican in every sense, legitimizing Trump in the eyes of R voters who were still unsure if Trump was truly a Republican through and through
3. He brought executive experience to the table as a then-Governor, to temper the mockery thrown at Trump over the notion of running the country like a business.
4. He was in a perfect position to assume the presidency should anything happen to Trump, given his old age and the violently divisive nature of his candidacy/presidency.
J.D. Vance does not check off a single one of those boxes.

It’s currently back-firing hard, this video of what Vance said about Trump in 2016 is getting posted all over

This pick is not going to net him any new voters either, he’s basically a mini-Trump now
Oh god, I knew it. I knew he would be the one, I’ve felt it from the very start that it would be him and NOT Burgum.
This man is nothing but a hypocritical Machiavellian two faced dipshit who doesn’t give a shit about other people, only about himself. I think he views this VP running mate position as being the stepping stone to the presidency. He doesn’t want simply to be VP, he wants to BE the President. He views Trump as a pawn, not as his boss. I think he would absolutely be the person to, if he views Trump as no longer being necessary for his goals, decides to finish him off.
This is honestly a bad choice for VP, because he has NO likability factor whatsoever, nobody really likes him (hell, he’s hated in his own state/region), he’s a dangerous man…things could go on.
He’s also not the type of person who would be a blind loyalist, and he also relishes being the center of attention, moreso than Trump.
He is a danger to himself and a danger towards other people. From what I have read, many of the staffers and donors of Trump’s are kind of wary/scared of him. That’s NOT a good thing, at all, if even the staffers and donors are wary or scared of you.
Trump, if I were you (and I do NOT like you or your policies, period), I would watch your back.

* “I’m a Never Trump guy, I never liked him”
* “I might have to hold my nose and vote for Hillary Clinton”
* “My god what an idiot”
* “I loved Mitt Romney’s anti-Trump speech”

This is the worst pick he could have made so that’s good at least.
Remember when JD Vance suggested women stay in abusive marriages? No? You will soon because that shit is going to play 24/7 until the election. What a terrible VP choice with huge baggage.
He managed to pick the only person with less political experience than him. Genius
Trump Vance of Vance Insurrection?
Gop: we are definitely not going full authoritarian
Also gop: our VP pick is full authoritarian
JD Vance in 2016:
“I go back and forth between thinking Trump might be a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he might be America’s Hitler. How’s that for discouraging?”
Lol. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Kari Lake sucked Trumps tiny dick for months trying to be VP. Losers.
>During the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Vance was an outspoken critic of Republican nominee Donald Trump. In a February 2016 USA Today column, he wrote that “Trump’s actual policy proposals, such as they are, range from immoral to absurd.” In the Atlantic and on the PBS show hosted by Charlie Rose, Vance called Trump “cultural heroin” and “an opioid of the masses.” In October 2016, he called Trump “reprehensible” in a post on Twitter, and called himself a “never-Trump guy.” In a private message on Facebook he called Trump “America’s Hitler”.
This is why Saturday did nothing for his chances. They don’t know how to appeal to actual voters. Only a base.
‘The left did this by saying Trump was Hitler’
VP choice : ‘He’s America’s Hitler’
The thing is though? These two are gonna clash hard. Two guys with personalities like this don’t last long. The only reason why Pence worked out so well was because Trump could shove him around so easily & he got him the Jesus people votes. Vance doesn’t do anything for Trump that Trump doesn’t already do for himself.
Vance is a diehard make-Trump-an-authoritarian-dictator guy, so this makes a lot of sense. In that Vance knows Trump could keel over at literally any minute and wants to be the person who actually gets to be that dictator.
The guy went from hating Trump to kissing his ring. Trump didn’t pick a VP, he picked a Reek.
For those wondering, Vance’s book fucking *sucks*.
Of all the options he picked possibly the worst one. Great news!
Thiel picked him to be the Project 2025 coordinator and enforcer. He’s the epitome of fucking evil.
