Peter Thiel spent a lot of money to get his taint skin puppet Vance on the ticket.

J.D. Vance: Boat Anchor.
This fall on ABC at 7.
I heard JD is waiting for the opportunity to push DJT out. Eh too brute.
I don't think it's a mystery why Trump chose Vance. He asked every potential VP pick whether they'd pull the trigger on stealing the next election in a repeat of J6. Vance has said he would do so publicly, so he went with the sleaziest option. Trump's decision-making really isn't that complicated.
Don’t discount Peter Thiel’s deep pockets in this decision. Thiel owns Vance.
methinks if trump and vance win, thiel will have vance 25th amendment the tangerine palpatine and end up puppetmaster to the president.
To save everyone born after 1965 a click or two, the 1980 VP nominees were Bush Sr. and Walter Mondale. The latter lost in a landslide, so I'd assume that was the unpopular one.
Call me cynical, but Trump picked him a) because of his conservative bonafides, and b) to counter Harris in the debates. "I can't be a racist, look who I married! My kids are multi-cultural!"
Maybe his wife is turning off the Maga Nazis
I dunno, I lived in Louisiana when Republican Bobby Jindal (of Indian descent) was governor and the hardcore conservatives didn't have any problem with him. Conservatives can generally turn off their racism when it suits them (like they do for Clarence Thomas as another example), which I think makes it even more abominable.
They love their uncle Tom
Heh. Maybe.
Definitely.
And his mixed race kids. They HATE him.
Good. Keep the direction, J.D., and march straight on.
Let us hope trump continues his pattern of horrible decisions
A pattern he hasn't broken in decades. Doesn't ever stop the brainwashed idiots from voting for him.
One can only hope that might change by a big enough percentage this time. Being that some old fucks have died and a lot of things have changed recently such as Biden stepping down.
As an Ohioan, this guy is a wannabe poser piece of shit, and while I’d be glad to lose him as a Senator, I’f ‘d hate the trade-off to VP. I don’t even know why MAGAts would be supporting him either, given that there’s video recordings of this guy talking shit about Trump previously, but apparently things like evidence don’t matter to them and Herr Trump can do no wrong, he only picks the best people (who have almost universally come out against him after they’re done working him).
if trump loses does vance keep his senate seat?
They forgive anything as long as their media sphere ordains it. They love the born again narrative. It’s only about the appearance and virtue signaling for these people.
As another Ohioan fuck JD Vance
We can only hope that his nominee pisses off Ohioans enough in 2028 and choose to vote him out of office.
I pose the theory that he was chosen simply because his name is so similar to Pence. All those redneck homemade signs can now be easily modified by just changing two letters.
In latest Trump news, a bigly massive order has been placed for square stickers reading 'VA'.
Is Trump making a push to take Virginia?
Or is he promising to eliminate the Veterans Administration?
More as this story unfolds here at Newsmax!
It's to retrofit all the "PENCE" signage for "VANCE".
His name makes me think of a used used car salesman tv commercial, like I can just imagine him walking through a car lot telling me to “Come on down to JD Vance’s Automotive Emporium for the best deals on new & used vehicles!”
Does anyone like this guy?
I don't know what percentage of women have chosen to be childless, but this creepy ass motherfucker is acting like we're in the third act in a horror film. No children? By jove, you don't even deserve to exist! And I will set my insurrectionist goons on you... soon...
He's a monster so yeah I'm sure a lot of Republicans love him
Hmmm. No link to their poll.
Look, I want to believe. But there's not any indication of how this poll was conducted, and they don't say who did it. Without more substance to it, I can't give this any weight.
Confusing headline. It wasn't a poll, just a look through historic data.
