Why didn’t he go with DeSantis?
He wants loyalty, and one that will do what Pence didn’t do.
Because Desantis challenged him in the primary. It’s as simple and petty as that.
And also remember that the VP can Amendment 25 Trump straight out of office on day one (with some help from the cabinet), and will even have a plausible reason to do so. Trump has to be paranoid about his VP pick.
The fun thing is that De Santis could Amendment 12 Trump straight out of office, as they both live in Florida.
The GOP is too scared of pissing off Trump or his base to even consider doing something like that. If they were a smart evil organization they would have dumped Trump long ago.
Trump is a useful idiot. Vance is Thiel-backed Heritage Foundation pick. As will likely most of his cabinet.
After Jan 20, regardless of which way the next 5 months go, he is useless to the GOP, Heritage, and Thiel. In fact, if anything he’d be a liability to them.
This wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
That’s what I thought when he lost in 2020. Yet they stuck with him anyway. Clearly they’ve decided they need his cult, no matter what.
First term they were flying by the seat of their pants. They were the dog that caught the car.
Second term they won’t need him anymore. They’ve got plans. They’ve got courts. They’ve even already got some of the legislation.

Perhaps. Think about it from Trump’s perspective. How much does he trust any of them?
Oh, not at all, nor should he. I just know they’re too cowardly to do it.
he did. JD Vance is one of those ironic punishments Olympians gave to people that pissed them off. someone with as much ability to come off as human, let alone normal, as desantis, if not less.
Trump wants a pretty nonentity.
Pence looked like a 1960s TV version of a Vice President. Vance looked like someone the rural MAGoos would like.
DeSantis might actually [accidentally] tell Trump the truth…
Just met my kid’s teacher! She is trans and I would vote her for president. Also on the radio there was an ad about legal help for people in their 90s with care. Just pay the legal fee and all is good. But 🤔, people older than retirement age aren’t that abundant. So it’s a mystery how we ended up with two of the oldest candidates ever.
Pfft. No one votes for number 2.
Go from half a brain to brainless. Oughta make a world of difference
That would be fucking hilarious.
He should do it.
Epstein buddies teaming up?
The couch fucking weirdo is tanking the numbers! Quick! Go find the guy with the brain worm!
Does the GOP have problems finding normal people to run?
Yeah, I guess they would.
They didn’t actually. They had problems getting them through primaries.
No, normal people just don’t poll well with the GOP.
They are all so weird.
You know, it’s funny; when you look at someone through rose-colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags. - Bojack Horseman
Or, more accurately: When you surround yourself with weirdos, all the weirdos start to look normal.
Ex brain worm, they broke up
Turns out… The worm was doing all the thinking
The brain eating worm starved to death.
This shit just writes itself.

Oh please do.
I will fucking bet you he does it and the numbers drop after it happens. In fact I have this bet already, but I’ll make it again.
Idk, I think I’d see trump numbers up after that. RFK jr is going appeal to the fringe libertarian…especially considering the orange turd’s health and age
Bet? $20?
Last person gave me 100 to one on the parlay that he both swaps out the VP nomination AND when that is done, his poll numbers go down.
So if you believe what you said, my $20 is free money.
All bets are off at this point imo, this shit has been going in what ever way the wind blows. Although, I would bet on a Kamala presidency 🤞if everyone votes
he tried to cozy up to the libertarians and they rejected him for not being very libertarian at all
Do you think he’d swap back, or find some new guy?
after some dumb shit? Bruh idk. This election season so fucking off the rails.
But I owe some one twenty bucks if the following doesn’t happen:
Trump swaps out Vance as VP and the resulting polling is lower.
If that does happen, I will much more than 20 bucks.
Is there a time frame involved? Like…if the polling goes up in the first week and then falls off a cliff after brain worm guy opens his mouth?
No time frame. I’d need way better odds than what I got to put a timeline on it.
JD, you’re fired!
In a really weird way this might actually be helpful to the campaign. When RFK dropped out of the race, both Kamala and Trump saw a boost in the polls, meaning there are people that supported RFK that were more Democratic leaning than Republican leaning, though it should be noted Trump went up only a few points more than Kamala did.
JD Vance has been the most unpopular VP pick in modern American history. While RFK is of course weird, I personally wouldn’t be surprised if he’s seen in a more favourable light than Vance is. The swap could potentially win some of RFK’s supporters who moved their support to Kamala over to Trump and the Republicans, and could give the opportunity for “unity” messaging considering Trump would be bringing in a former opponent as well as the Democratic association with the Kennedy name.
Will say though, not sure how effective this would be compared to the Trump campaign simply swapping Vance with someone else that was on the original running for VP pick. Still shocked knowing that Burgum was going to be picked before Trump was swayed to choose Vance, and that Tim Scott wasn’t his go-to considering Scott’s potential for Republicans playing identity politics and his talent in campaign fundraising.
Game changing this late in the game, no matter what.
I haven’t watched either one speak out loud, and do not wish to (30-seconds of audio crushed my smoky fantasies regarding Lauren Boebert), but RFK seems more sane to me.
Bring on the bear and whale jokes, c’mon. But remember when Bush seemed like a guy you could enjoy a beer with? Yeah, that kinda vibe. In any case, nothing will get me to vote R again in this lifetime.
Tbf, having a beer with RFK sounds like an exciting time. Would never vote for him though
I’d shoot heroin with the guy.
Couchfucker or chainsaw-whale-head guy . . . .

Have there ever been weirder candidates? Fucking a couch is the least weird thing compared to chainsawing a whale’s head or abandoning a dead bear cub in Central Park, and the former is the only one of those probably not true (although Vance hasn’t denied it).
Or the brainworms from all the other roadkill he’s had a decades-long habit of collecting.
So swap out the couch fucker for the brain worms guy? LOLOLOL.
RFK seems like the kinda guy who’d have fucked a couch in a drug-addled stupor once or twice
You cAnT jUsT CHanGe CanDiDAtes
No one knows anything about RFK
Who voted for him
Etc etc
Trump dies on the second day in office, then the newly minted President Kennedy butchers a bald eagle on the Oval Office desk, cooks it in an air fryer perched on the railing of the window, then tosses it in buffalo sauce and eats it before blowing the brain worms to kingdom come with an original flintlock from the time of Thomas Jefferson that was sitting on one of the shelves.
I’m fine with this. Honestly. Beats having President Trump again, and you know it does.
If Dems take the House and make someone besides Nancy Pelosi the Speaker then this isn’t a bad outcome
Hakeem “More Hand Movements than an Air Force Ground Crew” Jeffries is the name you seek.
I’m not even sure I oppose this timeline
Would yield president Hakeem Jeffries. I’m ok with that
Better than the shit Vance has planned.
(I have no idea what rfk has planned.)
this comment is extra special.
I would watch that pay per view.
