Trump second guessing Vance as VP pick. LO fricking L

[boston bean]

Vance may not be for long.

Saw it on msnbc a few moments ago. Reported to Rachel by Tim Alberta.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

1. I guess we can file lawsuits to stop him from dumping the male supremacist. nt

[Bucky]

37. Ha! Perfect!

Turn the Male Supremacist faction against the Grift Supremacist faction

[Bristlecone]

80. Lol

And we need to sue the RNC for money spent on campaigning against Vance.

[Skittles]

2. any details with this assertion?

thanks

[boston bean]

9. It was reported on msnbc by Tim Alberta.

[Bucky]

39. Sounds like baloney

The Party of Irresponsibility is holding true to form.

[oldsoftie]

3. According to who/what? Story? Tweet?

Give us something.

[boston bean]

11. Reported by Tim Alberta on msnbc.

[oldsoftie]

21. Thank you

[Emile]

20. It's all over the media (except for Fox)

[Cha]

71. Thanks.. Did they give any reasons, Emile?

[LudwigPastorius]

84. Just guessing, but...

Trump thinks he just lost the few women and black voters he had. (he may have)

His mulligan would probably be Ben Carson or Elise Stefanik.

[Cha]

87. lol @ his mulligan. Thanks!

lol @ Ben Carson?

Yeah he thought Vance's big nasty mouth and a Putin lover would do the trick. Wrong.

[Irish_Dem]

4. It's like an episode from his reality TV show. "You're fired."

[Frasier Balzov]

5. Does Trump now wish he had picked Rubio?

[Skittles]

12. LOL, Vance or Rubio

.......like picking the better Menendez brother

[MyOwnPeace]

35. Oh, that's a GOOD one!

[tavernier]

63. Omg

That was funny!!

[Sky Jewels]

78. Which is Lyle, of course.

JK. I don’t even remember the other one’s name.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

25. Tim Scott is smiling widely! Please pick me!!!

[brooklynite]

6. Source?

[boston bean]

10. Tim Alberta reported on msnbc.

[mucifer]

7. he's trying to take over the news cycle

he needs attention on himself CONSTANTLY and the press usually does his bidding . Will see what happens.

[diva77]

13. 1000X This!!! Exactly!!!! Since Dems are getting coverage for VP possibilities, all of a sudden the false mimicry

chump uses kicks in and starts to overshadow whatever press Dems were getting.

I can see the headlines now above the fold:

OMG Will Chump dump his VP???



and then on page 3, in small font:

Possible Dem VP picks

[mucifer]

14. But, how does this NOT make trump look weak if he changes his VP??

[diva77]

15. Maybe he doesn't care as long as he gets attention

[oldsoftie]

22. He is very likely that stupid. nt

[anciano]

18. It would make him look weak and desperate,

and would effectively guarantee our win!

[moonscape]

66. And what will Thiel and Musk think?

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

24. true but how humiliating for Vance. well... everyone knows how un-loyal trump is.

[MyOwnPeace]

36. Maybe, just maybe.......

somebody finally told IQ45 what Vance said about him years ago!

[Captain Zero]

70. Maybe they told him about the latex glove

In the couch cushion !! LOL

Vance is a WANKER!

[OAITW r.2.0]

76. He was a stupid pick to begin with. What did he bring, except negative bagge? "Hillbilly Elegy"? Trump had those votes

Watching how Trump reacts is going to be enjoyable.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

90. agreed. Maybe Tim Scott or Rubio would have brought over some diversity to the GOP

[angrychair]

91. If he does

Do we get to call them the "DEI.pick"? (Never would do that but it is funny to think about rubbing their own words in their face)

[GoodRaisin]

88. Sorry Vance. You're fired. 😂

[ForgedCrank]

8. My

crystal ball is in the shop.
Can you fill me in on what this post is referring to?

[Diraven]

16. Gonna set the new record

For the fastest exit of a Trump admin official. Anthony Scaramucci has the old record of 10 days. 🤣

[GenThePerservering]

17. Trump wants to be the Strong Man

Who will throw anybody he wants into the trash and pick some other servile bootlicker. He doesn't give a shit about Vance.

[Blue Owl]

19. The strongman with tiny hands, hairspray, makeup, and a fresh pantload

[Prairie Gates]

23. Will Vance last a Scaramucci?

So far, he's lasted almost half a Mooch.

This is the kind of stupid shit we have to look forward to if that asshat is reelected.

[Polybius]

42. See post 41

He can't be removed.

[Prairie Gates]

46. Super weird that you replied to this joke post

of all the posts in this thread.

[Polybius]

48. It was a joke that seemed to be partially serious

I thought you legitimately believed that he may not last as long as the Mooch.

[Prairie Gates]

50. OK buddy

[Polybius]

51. Ok there

There's no need to be nasty for absolutely no reason at all. The things that upset people here are truly mindboggling.

[Prairie Gates]

53. Huh?

[Polybius]

55. 1,673 posts?

[Prairie Gates]

56. Huh?

[Polybius]

62. You crack yourself up

[dpibel]

92. Cracks me up, too!

FWIW.

[ImNotGod]

26. Vance's big mouth has already cost tRump millions of votes so hope he is kept on as VP. nt

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

27. From 'The New Republic'. Vance was picked when Trump team thought election was going to be a blow out.. Trump vs Biden

Why Trump Suddenly Thinks Picking J.D. Vance Was a Mistake
Joe Biden’s decision to drop out and endorse Kamala Harris to succeed him on the Democratic ticket has Donald Trump’s team scrambling.


Trump campaign officials acknowledged that Trump selected the inexperienced Vance, charged with all his techno-authoritarian ideas, to boost support among their own base, not extend a hand to swing voters, according to The Atlantic. Vance was a symbol of the Trump team’s assuredness that they would win in 2024. Come Sunday, that assuredness appears to be shrinking.

“Most striking thing I heard from Trump allies yesterday was the second-guessing of JD Vance—a selection, they acknowledged, that was [born] of cockiness, meant to run up margins with the base in a blowout rather than persuade swing voters in a nail-biter,” Atlantic staff writer Tim Alberta, who had written the piece about the panicking Trump campaign, posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Trump decried Biden’s decision to drop out in a post on Truth Social, writing that his team would have to “start all over again” and asking to be reimbursed for the cost. At the same time, Vance has set straight to work, calling for Biden to resign from the presidency.

[Attilatheblond]

86. Thinking Trump is prolly going totally off the rails in private. Moses Mike Johnson threatens to sue DEMs for fraud?

Oh man, Mikie must be getting a lot of hysterical screaming calls from Trump to DO SOMETHING to stop this DEM switch-a-roo that throws monkey wrenches in all his sure thing plans.

That and Trump posting they should be reimbursed for all the money they already spend on anti-biden merch. ROFL
He still doesn't grasp that life in politics is not the same as bullying and screwing over contractors.

The man just ain't right in the head. But we all knew that a long LONG time ago.

Re Vance on the GOP ticket: I sorta figure Theil and others were planning for Trump to be elected, then leave office, one way or another, so their bought boy becomes POTUS. Vance, being young, would be a useful puppet for years, maybe decades if those pigs get their way destroying the government as we know it.

[Abolishinist]

28. I wonder if he's seen this pic?

[MaryMagdaline]

29. Trump is jealous of all the attention Dems are getting

[Raven123]

30. TFG wants more money from Vance or Thiel

[madinmaryland]

31. The dumbass doesn't get that Vance is not the problem.

[Cha]

73. To be fair they both are. lol

[madinmaryland]

94. Very true.

[valleyrogue]

32. LOL!!!! Vance is the one the Heritage Foundation wants.

Vance isn't going anywhere.

[Raven123]

33. Exactly. I have said Vance is running for president.

Who knows? TFG better be careful, less he is the one booted off the ticket. Vance has money. Doesn’t need TFG.

[captain queeg]

34. I thought people were saying Putin picked Vance?

[Klarkashton]

38. Trump thinks this whole thing is an episode of the apprentice.

He's a sick man.

[Alliepoo]

40. Wonder if the melon felon

Is gonna dump ol’ jd and get himself a female candidate to try to appeal more to women? Bet nikki h would hop right on that. Or maybe even ivanka.

[Polybius]

41. He can not drop Vance unless Vance himself agrees

The Convention nominated them, and they secured the nomination.

[Prairie Gates]

44. You think Vance would insist on staying on the ticket if Trump wanted him off?

LOL.

[Polybius]

47. Why not?

I would. Trump is old and likely unhealthy. If he wins, there's an excellent chance that Vance becomes President.

[democrattotheend]

59. Considering what happened to Trump's last vice president

If I were JD Vance, I would be a little nervous to stay on a ticket with Trump if he decided he didn't want me there.

[Polybius]

60. In some ways, I feel that Vance may be even further to the Right than Trump

Terrifying to think of him as being next in line for President.

[servermsh]

43. Such a poor choice

I was thrilled when Trump made this dumb mistake. I was fearful Trump would pick some wild young celebrity to get crazy press coverage.

[Renew Deal]

45. Throw him off the ticket

That's what you get for listening to Don Jr.

[lpbk2713]

49. Maybe if Vance could borrow a wig and an outfit from Rudy?

Hmmm?

[oldtime dfl_er]

52. There's more than one way

to get rid of an unsatisfactory running mate.

[brewens]

54. You'd think they couldn't be that fucking stupid to let that get out if that's the case. There would have to be some

better way to play it if they really wanted to switch now. I'd go with the private plane crash, but that's just me.

[Tribetime]

57. But he's so masculine with makeup a real mans man like drump

[dchill]

58. I think he's looking to replace the wrong guy.

[MerryBlooms]

61. Aren't they locked in from the RNC convention?

How are they going to dump half their ticket, after their convention?
This mus be BS!

[dchill]

64. I think he'll have to take it up with Putin. The guy who picked him.

[lizardkingjr]

65. Delicious

(if true!)

[ecstatic]

67. I think I called it first

They have no chemistry whatsoever.

Vance's rally was super cringey--worse jokes than tiny d. And he is 100% linked to abortion bans, ivf bans, and project 2025.

[Cha]

68. LOL... What's not for TSF to like.... Putin Lover..

Dirty Nasty Misogynistic Mouth.

[GenThePerservering]

69. Thiel and Musk bought Vance

For Dump. I think he's stuck with him.

[Mme. Defarge]

72. Buyer's remorse?

[MorbidButterflyTat]

74. Maybe Pence's head fly is available.

[AloeVera]

82. Ok that made me laugh! Thx Nt

[MorbidButterflyTat]

98. YW

[Bucky]

75. Watching MSNBC: they're not saying Trump regrets Vance

They're reporting (so far) that some Republicans in general are having "buyer's remorse" over Vance's nomination.

Maybe that'll change later in the broadcast and someone will say Trump is thinking that way. But Trump himself changing his mind, or even questioning his own judgement, on any decision seems pretty off-brand to me.

[boston bean]

96. Absolutely not the case.

[onethatcares]

97. that's ok

it's about time the Democrats flood the zone and put rumors out there that just might be true. Someone on the other side talked of doing that but he's having 3 hots and a cot recently and no access to a microphone

[applegrove]

77. I just sent this to my peeps. Applies to your post. Read till the end.

"SNIP.........

Sorry, they have to carry him to term': Mockery after expert jokes Vance may get yanked

Daniel Hampton
July 22, 2024 10:59PM ET

The internet on Monday mocked former President Donald Trump's running mate amid news that Kamala Harris is now on the Democratic side of the ballot, with a Republican strategist posting on social media that Vance is "about to get the call to do the right thing."

snip

On Monday night, Mike Madrid, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, stirred the pot by suggesting Vance — much like Biden — will also get the "call to do the right thing."

"nope, sorry, they have to carry him to term," replied @goldengateblond to Madrid, including a dig at Vance's abortion stance.

"Abusive couples have to stay together!" chided @CAMadScientist, a dig at Vance's remarks that women ought to remain married even if they’re being abused.

snip

Full story

Ouch, lol.

.........SNIP"

[LetMyPeopleVote]

79. This will be fun to watch

[keithbvadu2]

81. Will they build a gallows for JD?

[AloeVera]

83. Love the humour on this thread!

[spanone]

85. Is Nikki sitting by her phone?

[Cha]

89. I just read an article by Tim Alberta in the Atlantic

about TSF.

He sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

[mucholderthandirt]

93. My guess is he'll ask Nikki Haley.

No one else would pick up any of the votes Trump may think he had and lost. I don't think at this point it would make any difference, she's basically Trump in six inch heels with a slightly better speaking style.

Any woman who was fooled into voting for Trump after that, well, they deserve what they get.

[jcgoldie]

95. how many scaramucci's for vance?

[Chakaconcarne]

99. Trump is not second guessing, Trump allies are second guessing

"As the incumbent stands down, the party’s recent moves are being reassessed and recontextualized. Tim Alberta wrote for The Atlantic:

[Top officials on the Republican campaign team] know that from the moment they partnered with Trump, everything they intended for this campaign—the messaging, the advertising, the microtargeting, the ground game, the mail pieces, the digital engagement, the social-media maneuvers—was designed to defeat Joe Biden. Even the selection of Ohio’s Senator J. D. Vance as Trump’s running mate, campaign officials acknowledged, was something of a luxury meant to run up margins with the base in a blowout rather than persuade swing voters in a nail-biter.

That luxury is now gone. Alberta added via social media, “[The] most striking thing I heard from Trump allies yesterday was the second-guessing of JD Vance—a selection, they acknowledged, that was borne of cockiness, meant to run up margins with the base in a blowout.”

Oops."
