JD Vance Fired by Trump Watch Thread

[ByteMe13]

The problem with this is that replacing Vance means that Trump would have to admit that his selection was a mistake and Trump is NEVER wrong! Even if Vance has a sudden "medical issue" or a "family emergency" people won't be fooled and Harris will use the replacement of Vance like cudgel -- Trump reallu is in a pickle. Isn't that a shame?

Trump would just claim his advisers made him pick Vance and move on.

Trump would just claim his advisers made him pick Vance and move on.

Trump would also never admit that anyone made him do anything.

He has reiterated that sentiment and stands by it.

Did he just say that? Is he unaware of the fact that Buttigieg has 2 kids?

My take on that: Vance is evil, but he's not stupid, and he knows you can no longer just say out loud you hate gay people. So he was deliberately laying it between the lines - a dogwhistle to homophobes, which everyone else might or might not notice.

 

[DeluxAuto]

I just heard "Shay Dee" Vance.

He could just wave his hand.

I think you mean that he could do it just by thinking about it... not using those tiny hands.

Well, the whole world has heard it! So the dog whistle theory is pretty much gone since EVERYONE noticed and is talking about it.

BTW, there a number of individuals in Ohio who think Vance is stupid right now. Just FWI, given his negative poll rating. There is probably a guy in Mar-a-Lago also.

Is it me? am I too old? I saw this thread and went WFT? So iI looked at the article... Newsweek said the Trump campain was all in for Vance. Then talked about how broken and flustered the Dems are with the Biden/Harris ticket gone and Harris/? now the Dems pick. My "right to vote" started with our oldest living Presdent (Jimmy Carter) was in the Army durnng the Regan/Bush41/Clinton years and working for the rest till this year as i just retired. I've NEVER talked politcs with friends...it was something i thought as personnel. But now anyone with a computer/laptop/phone can say anything or read a headline without readng the rest and WOW people just jump in without knowing what the h#%@ they are takig about! I'm a American! I don't care if your a Dem or Rep or Ind...don't just look at headlines (They will always be eye catching) but READ, be informed and know what your talking about before you open your mouth. Remember "its better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool then to open your muth and remove all doubt."

Not the point. The point is he never actually said "I hate gays" or "I don't think gay couples should be able to adopt". Granted, in order to believe he didn't mean that, you would really really have to want to believe it...but there are plenty of people out there who do!

Congratulations on your retirement after years of service in defense of this country and constitution. You could ask the original poster but it’s a good assumption that many threads are created with the intent to get the maximum attention.

Less popular than Quayle or Palin? Republicans sure do have an illustrious track record of picking VP candidates. “Imbecile” is apparently a job requirement.

Enten also noted how Vance is "historically unpopular" for a vice presidential nominee coming out of a convention, even when compared to those now considered unpopular Republican running mate choices, Sarah Palin and Dan Quayle.

Donald Trump May Drop JD Vance for Nikki Haley, Ex-Clinton Adviser Says​

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-may-drop-jd-vance-nikki-haley-ex-clinton-adviser-says-1930495

Begala said during a panel discussion on Jake Tapper's interview with Haley, which aired minutes earlier, that the former ambassador was "campaigning" for the VP slot and that Democrats had already "set a precedent" by changing their ticket.

"There's a nonzero chance the Republicans take their vice presidential candidate off the ticket," Begala said. "He's been a dud. He's the first vice presidential nominee of either party since 1980 to begin underwater in his approval ratings."

Like Palin, Vance is a great source of material for comedians and Kate night talk show hosts.

Quayle became the savior of American democracy.

After 4 years of the current fuckwits, the Pubs may figure anything goes. They obviously don't need a genius for the benchwarmer job.

The “current fuckwits” have done a great job leading the nation out of the pandemic. You didn’t notice because you’ve been hiding in your cave.

 

[MajorRewrite]

I figure he's a Hillary Clinton type of stupid.

You misspelled “Sarah Palin”.

I’m curious, when did you stop being a dystopian weirdo and become a run-of-the-mill MAGA moron? Nobody wanted to join your dystopia club so you found a Fuckwit Club to join?

"Miserable cat ladies"


Lmao, this guy is a gift to Democrats.

Quayle became the savior of American democracy.

Yean Quayle told Pence to do his job and perform his Constitutional duty on January 7th. I alawys thought of Danny Boy as a lightweight in over his head BUT he did save our democracy. He is one of those footnotes you read and go, "How come this isn't the entire book?"

Let’s not give him a trophy for telling Pence to do the bare minimum required by law.

 

[Kitty_so_frisky]

Trump has long claimed to be 6’3”, but is really closer to 6’1” - 6’2” and wears lifts. I bet it really hurts his fragile ego that he has to stand on a stage next to someone who is actually 6’3” and look noticeably slightly shorter. He is a petty toddler.

I can’t stand the cat, but I sure as heck am glad he gave Pence solid advice. There is a long list of folks that wouldn’t have.

JD Vance Wanted Higher Taxes For Childless People, Video Shows​

JD Vance previously said the U.S. needs to "tax the things that are bad and not tax the things that are good," including lowering taxes for those with children.



But they already do this. People with kids get lots of extra tax credits, deductions, exemptions, etc..
