But Trump’s VP nominee is “one of the best things he ever did for Democrats,” the senator said
Donald Trump may be regretting his choice of running-mate and wondering “Why did I pick this guy?” according to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Over the past few weeks since Trump announced his decision, the narrative that Sen. J.D. Vance is “weird” has gained traction, and Schumer speculated that may have the former president considering replacing him.
“Every day, it comes out Vance has done something more extreme, more weird, more erratic,” Schumer said. “Vance seems to be more weird and erratic than President Trump, and I’ll bet President Trump is sitting there, scratching his head, and wondering, ‘Why did I pick this guy?’”

I still think he only picked him because for decades the “JD Power Rankings” were a huge deal.
So trump associates JD Vance with being powerful, even if he couldn’t remember why
.
His couch, on the other hand, calls him “weird”. And rightly so :/
Diabolical thinking.
Holy crap flashback, I had completely forgotten about JD Power rankings.
Man, the amount of heads buried in the sand on this is egregious. He picked him for one reason and one reason only. If he wins Vance will play ball in 28 when they suspend elections. No one in Trump’s campaign cares about his weird emails, his couch, or his brown family. He has one job and he is morally flexible enough to break his oath of office to do it.
Yeah, but if Vance costs Trump the election none of that comes into play. Trump needs to get back into the oval office to have the option of destroying democracy once and for all.
They have been planning for that since Jan 7th, 2021. This isn’t some fly-by-night if I win thing, this will be a well-planned coup attempt. I hope I am wrong but they are openly insinuating as to what their plans are.
Edit: changes 2020 to 2021 Thank you Samus12345 for pointing out the mistake.
2021, you mean?
Yes, thank you.
I mean he can’t abuse presidential immunity if he’s not president. Vance can’t refuse to transition power to a new administration if he isn’t VP. They can try another Jan. 6th but without trump dangling the possibility of pardon’s that’s less attractive to would be rioters. Some backwoods states can threaten to secede but they’ll get shut down in a heartbeat if they actuality try. The gravy seals can threaten a civil war but the idea that they can size power for more than a weekend in some hick town is a pipe dream.
So, let’s just keep underestimating the opposition, and let’s see where that gets us.
I’m not underestimating them. If Trump wins this year it’s all over. Kiss democracy goodbye. If Trump loses they have no other moves. They’re done. That’s what you suggested in your first post, and then you decided to argue that they will win even if Trump loses which is crazy town talk.
I think you are, and I think the left has made a hobby of underestimating the “Christian” right. I think it is very naive to say the only backing they have is backwoods states and gravy seals. They have had 4 years to plan and organize. They had fake electors, police, and active-duty military; that one alone should scare you, and now 19 governors actively pushing the election fraud lie. They have the courts, and all it would take is some organized violence and solid leadership.
None of what I am typing matters because you will keep your head buried just like everyone else because then you would have to admit this movement is bigger than you have been told or want to believe. That’s been the problem since 2016, underestimating the ideology that runs Trump is how we got him.
I hope you are right, but I am still going to be ready for it if or when you are wrong. As the old man said, “We will see.”
Peace
I do fear an uprising after Trump loses in November, since he won’t accept his defeat. Still much better than him winning though.
Bring it. Those assholes need to be shown they have no place in a democratic America.
While all the other politicians are doing their weird sex dungeon stuff in the middle of the night, they’re laughing at this dipshit for not knowing how to cover his tracks.
Don’t get too complacent. Everybody here thinks JD Vance is a bad choice and will cost Trump his re-election.
Exactly the same way nobody believed Trump would be elected in 2016.
Yah, but Schumer saying all this forces Trump to keep him to keep face. Can’t have Chuck be right, doncha know. It’s a good play, unusually good for the Democrats.
On a related note, what the fuck, Ohio ??!?
As an Ohioan I have been wondering the same thing since he was elected. The bad news was smeared about this douche months before he somehow got elected.

The Rolling Stone magazine has a very storied history that a media bias algorithm will not capture.
LMAO
In a true nod to the great Rolling Stone writer Hunter S Thompson, including the bit about trolling Vance about the fucking couch meme
Even without the couch fuckin’, JD is a deeply weird guy. It’s hard to say who is more of a creepy weirdo, him or Speaker Johnson. The only way it gets more into the creepy weirdo territory is to find some random RW incel who is terminally online, or someone like Shapiro…
Trump’s is pretty far up there as far as creepy weirdos go.
Oh, most definitely. Good point. I guess VD and him make a good pairing. Old creepy weirdo with kinda younger creepy weirdo.
Electric Sharks dodo da do do…
I know the Biden-Kamala switch just happened, but is there any precedence for a VP candidate getting swapped out after the nomination?
i don’t think anything about any of this has precedence…if it did, SCOTUS would have overturned it by now
George McGovern has entered the chat.
George’s first Veep was Thomas Eagleton, who was found to have had an extensive psychiatric history after securing the nomination.
It was a giant setback for McGovern.
iirc the second Veep was Shriver, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s father in law
When you’re sufficiently weirder than Chuck fucking Schumer that nobody notices the hypocrisy of him of all people using that insult, you’re fucking WEIRD 😂
I don’t find Chuck Schumer weird at all. The Republican party though is weird as fuck, however.

Chuck Schumer, weird?
Yup. Usually more in the “odd and kooky” way of an eccentric grandad rather than the maliciously creepy kind of Republicans, but weird nonetheless lol.
