  1. >Donald Trump’s running mate weirds voters out, but at least he’s not an incoherent mess like his boss

    Neither is worthy of the White House

  2. Is that a problem? I’d like him on TV every night to elaborate on why childless women are inferior, and why cat ladies are terrible, and why women (including his wife) should stay in the kitchen and be seen but not heard.

  3. It’s a win-win, Trump won’t step down and will get more unhinged and Vance will continue to be toxic and alienating.

  4. At least with Trump he’s got his cult of personality

    With Vance you get an uninspiring, unliked, couch and dolphin porn addicted drag dressing weirdo. You won’t see thousands lining up to get to a Vance rally

    If the GOP want to make him front and centre of their campaign, go ahead…..

  6. >Vance is annoying, but he can speak in complete sentences, largely avoiding all talk of electrocution, sharks and Hannibal Lecter. There are fewer logistical issues in a Vance-centric campaign, as well. He’s decades younger than Trump, and so has the energy to travel. Even if the rumors that he wears eyeliner are true, Vance cannot need the hours Trump must spend in hair and makeup just to be seen in public. No doubt the campaign wishes they had a substitute candidate who was less aggravating, but Vance surely looks better than their alternative: an ever-nuttier Donald Trump.

    LOL. You never consider the little things like hair and makeup time.

  8. When Vance did that solo rally (with the Diet Mountain Dew cameo), I assumed it was just an early tactic to help get his name out there. But now he’s basically running the whole campaign! DonOLD is too tired.

  9. The insane part of this is that to me, Trump is less-weird than JD Vance. JD Vance may not have had sex with a couch but he’s certainly someone who I would believe did.

  10. That’s sad. But hey, if they want some optimism and vigor, all they have to do is switch sides.

  11. “This way he gets ALL the blame if I lose.”

    -Trump, almost definitely.

  13. It’s amazing isn’t it.

    Trump has just lost the energy to campaign, so he has sent the younger, less charismatic, even more creepy (is that possible) version of himself to prosecute the political case for him.

    Does Trump even have a rally on his calendar?

    Is he going to invite to press to a Mar-a-Lago meltdown again soon?

  14. Just a reminder that JD Vance has -15% favorability.

  15. It’d be hilarious if Trump DID drop out and put JD Vance in charge. Harris would still crush his ass because Vance has the charisma of a lukewarm, flat bottle of diet mt. dew.

  16. Why does the larger candidate not simply consume the smaller one?

  17. …and that’s supposed to be a winning move?

  21. This guy is the reason people cover their piano legs

  22. “The couch fucker” done in doc brown voice from back to the future. With a spit take .

  23. This needs to be the next campaign message. Where’s Trump? It sure seems like JD Vance is running for president. And the guy who has been holding 3 rallies a week for the past 8 years has decided to take a break the last 12 weeks before the election. That’s weird right?

  24. For the life of me, I cannot understand why the republicans are not eating JD Vance alive for his eye liner. Can you imagine if a democrat man was wearing eyeliner? I feel like that would be all the Republicans and Fox News would be talking about.

  25. Lol guys, knowing that orange rapist, if enough people keep repeating that JD Vance is the candidate or that he should be, he will eventually get jealous and insult his own VP pick publicly.

    Please make that happen.

  26. Harris campaign needs to start pointing out publicly that the GOP is using Vance as a public face because Trump hurts the campaign.

    Trump’s ego won’t be able to handle it and he’ll start demanding to be sent out.

  27. Holding fewer rallies because of the number of cities waiting to be paid.

  28. Oh yeah – push for the guy that is directly tied to project 2025…

    He will hold press conferences denying project 2025 exists while announcing what project 2025 measures he will put in place.

    And how he loves to fuck couches.

    Fucking weirdo.

  29. So the replacement for a weird, mean candidate is a weird, mean candidate. Those GOP folks sure do refuse to change.

  30. “Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.”

    -Napoleon

  32. the R campaign is 100% Vance vs. Biden now, it’s wild. It’ll take them the next three months to convince Trump that Kamala isn’t the same person as Nikki Haley and/or Nancy Pelosi. He still has no idea who Tim Walz is or why that might be impacting his poll numbers. The Democratic campaign is surgical in its efficiency for the first time in my lifetime and it’s honestly a wonder to behold. If Harris doesn’t win this by an untouchable margin, we already no longer have a democracy to defend.

    Anyway, see you at the next Trump rally in like Alabama or some shit two weeks from now

  33. Any logical person should realize that a vote for Trump is really a vote for Vance to be president before 2028. Biden was objectively in better health overall than Trump during the previous election cycle and see how quickly he’s deteriorated over the last 4 years. Trump is older now than Biden was then and he is pretty notorious for his unhealthy diet and lack of exercise. Being president is a stressful job(even for someone who half-asses it like Trump) and it’s highly likely that Trump will not be physically able to finish another term.

  34. What if the assassination attempt on tRump was a rebooblican coup?

    Remember, they called Biden “being forced out” a coup. Any accusation by them is an admission of their own guilt.

  35. >Nikki Haley: ‘The first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the one who wins this election’

    Old boomer Trump is going to be a rolling catastrophic failure from now to election day. Enjoy MAGAts!

  36. The Dems should copy Trump’s tweet. Start a whisper campaign that shadowy elites are maneuvering to replace Trump with Vance. Trump’s paranoia will do the rest.

  37. Maybe everybody should push the rumor that the GOP is going to “Dump Trump”for Vance then sit back and watch the fireworks‼️🤨💥💥⚡️
