We know who's got the Stefan Molyneux vote.

    JD Vance is so comically bad that it's kind of insane that anyone in the republican party agreed to let this guy run.

    It makes sense if you look at Vance the way they do - as a big sack full of cash. Trump is burning through campaign cash on court fees and lawyers so that was the whole decision

    All the reporting points to Elon Musk, and his two kids convincing him to go for JD Vance while he was in shock from the attempted assassination. So I am dying at the thought he listened to his kids and now he is fucked.

    What do Peter Thiel and Elon Musk love so much about him? I don't get the appeal to them.

    They're fucking stupid and trump completely alienated himself from the (heavy fucking quotes) "reasonable Republicans" that he had around during the initial presidency

    If it wasn't for Biden drop out he would still have a fucking chance too, that's how much of a joke the Dems have been. Idk what's happening anymore though. Here there be monsters, uncharted territory when the Dems start doing politics correctly. It's a bit frightening just from how foreign it feels

    Disagreed. Ben Carson is definitely weirder.

    They're both weird, but different types of weird. Carson is strange weird like "wow, okay that's weird." While Vance is gross weird, more of a "ew, that's just weird."

    Carson is the guy at work you’d never hang out with after hours, but time flies because of the bizarre stories he tells. JD Vance is the guy who makes you feel like you dread coming in because he’s so off putting.

    Counterpoint: Boebert or MTG

    Boebert or MTG could at least do the Palin-esque folksy charm thing to blunt the weird. Vance brings the “I’m not legally allowed to live within 500 meters of a school” vibe to the weird.

    What are the odds that Trump will outright say that JD Vance sucks at one of his upcoming rallies?

    100%. It's barely been a couple weeks and Trump has already started coping with questions about Vance saying things like "the VP pick doesn't matter, because you're voting for the president and not the VP".

    I think that if Dems keep doing well in the polls, Trump might just straight up drop Vance from the ticket.

    They're over 500, but "heck of a year" is pushing it.

    That's even better. They are the good ol' workingman's team. No long winning streaks, no world series ambitions. Just a honest ball club playing the game, winning some, losing some.

    God forbid we have a Yankees or dodgers fan in the White House. That smacks of liberal coastal elite

    This is a good, honest .500 baseball team. They play .500 ball goddammit. Salt of the earth, punch the clock, even win/loss ratio baseball. They lost a couple, guess what? They won a couple, too. But they never got too excited or let it go to their head. No long winning streaks there, no sir. That's hubris, which that blue collar, hard working everyman team didn't have. A few wins in a row, those guys, true to form, balanced it out with a couple a losses. Yes sir, that's my 2023-2024 Twins. A good, honest .500 baseball team.

    Honestly wouldn’t be too surprised to learn that Vance quote was real
