Some Republicans are starting to seriously regret Donald Trump’s vice presidential nominee, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance.
It’s been only one week since Vance was nominated at the Republican National Convention, and already his own party members are expressing severe doubts about Trump’s pick. The former president’s allies have acknowledged that nominating Vance was the product of Trump’s absolute certainty that he would be able to defeat Joe Biden in November. While Vance wouldn’t do much for swing voters or independents, he would likely shore up support among Trump’s base.
But ever since Biden passed the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s new presumptive nominee, Republicans have begun to sour on Vance.
“The road got a lot harder. He was the only pick that wasn’t the safe pick. And I think everyone has now realized that,” one House Republican told Axios Thursday, under the condition of anonymity.
Another House Republican told Axios that Vance “doesn’t add much.”
James Donald Bowman is his birth name. Tired of this ‘woke’ changing names agenda!
Wait… so the Republican ticket is James Donald and Donald John? Those fucking nerds.
What if we combine them? James Donald John TRANce. Think that’ll bring out more GOP voters?
I’m up for combining them, but only if it’s in some sort of weird human-centipede situation.
So where does the Vance part come in? Sounds like he wants to be an edgy pop guitar solo artist.
hilarious that vance wrote an entire book blaming poor mountain people for causing their own problems and not bootstraps-ing themselves out of despair (like he did, naturally), and is now saying that biden’s america is 100% to blame for those exact same problems
not to mention all the gigabytes of trash he’s talked about trump, whose asshole vance is now slurping with the gusto of a dog in a steak factory

😆 It’s only 0600 here. I’m gonna call it a day after reading that so that I can end on a high note.
Let’s not jump to conclusions until we get the couche’s side of the story.
I guess I’m dumb or ignorant, but what’s the reference here?
Edit: nevermind, explained further down the thread
Ahem, they ended up pulling that article… presumably because he actually did have sex with a couch.
They pulled it because they can’t actually know if he did or didn’t. Good to see some journalistic integrity! Lol
Can’t prove a negative!
Many people are saying that JD did NOT fuck that couch. But then, many people are asking…I don’t know, were you THERE?
🤣
Would that cushion the blow?
It ought to man.
So far, soooo good.
Really feels like Vance is being set up as the fall guy to blame when trump loses.

He was the bag man for Cryptobros. Trump puts him on the ticket and the money flows into the Trump campaign.
Now it’s looking like a raw deal, as Trump has to spend all that new money defending his hideous little troll of a VP.
“If he had just picked someone else as VP, he would’ve won!” -conservatives in five months
Missed a perfectly good opportunity to run a horny VP like Kristi Noem or Laura Boebert or Hope Hicks.
Still would have lost, but at least we wouldn’t need Vance’s mug all over the TV.
I mean, his last VP pick had lightning powers. This one fucks couches. That’s a hell of a downgrade.
lightning powers? I’m ootl

your cause is noble, but the outrage over mascara man vance bashing is misguided. “punching down” is insulting race, sexuality, gender, disability, and any other thing that no one chooses for themselves*. makeup is 100% a choice, for everyone. in vance’s example it’s a ridiculous choice, given the requisite strictly defined GOP persona of the “manly man,” which obviously doesn’t involve men wearing makeup. so vance will be mocked for it.
where’s the outrage over making fun of trump’s orange spray tan? guliani’s hair dye leaking forehead?
and if you’re going to bring “gendered insult” into the conversation, then exactly who is arguing under the flawed premise that mascara is just for women, if not the person calling the insult gendered?
don’t worry, i make fun of many, many choices people make, from cartoonishly huge pickup trucks, to cargo shorts
*edit: apparently “punching down” is generally defined to mean attacking people ‘less powerful’ than yourself. i’m still including unchosen circumstances in my usage
You’re a monster. How could you make fun of cargo shorts?
LOL it’s not just me. how many women do you know who don’t think cargo shorts make us look like clowns?
They stop laughing when I pull an entire Chinese dinner for five out of those cargo shorts. Y’all sneak in your candy to the movies. I’ll do it my way.
My mom says they make me look handsome and agrees that it’s neat that I can carry all the sticks and rocks we find at the park!
you do you champ!
The liberal urge to make sure a racist misogynist narcissistic fascist is comfortable in their spaces
The sectional predator himself
God damn, couch - that’s some hoe shit!
Holy fuck, thank you for that laugh
"Vance does worse in his home region at -16 points than he does in the average of all polls… So the people who know him best, the region that knows him best, they like him even less than America likes him.”
— Polling analyst Harry Enten, on CNN
Plus, betting markets have opened up on if he’ll be retained on the ticket.
So how many Scaramucci’s to each Vance?
2 Trusses tops
I like him better than I like Trump, but then I want them to lose. I would vote for the corpse of Richard Nixon before I considered voting for either of them.

Memers should be reimbursed.

I’m not a betting man but I pretty much came to the comments to see if anyone else thought this too. “We” showed it’s “ok” to drop out this close to the election so I 100% believe they’re going to do the same with him and they can just have fox news say “the Democrats already did it so we’re doing it to get back at them!” because if there’s one thing maga loves more than beating up on (insert non cis/white/male people) it’s revenge.
Actually makes me wonder whether they’ll try to pressure Trump to quit, for these same reasons.
I mean, he definitely won’t quit, but they might try.
