Trump Campaign Turmoil Explodes as Trove of J.D. Vance's Bombshell Emails Critical of Trump Are Leaked: 'Morally Reprehensible Human Being' - OK MagazineIn the email correspondence between Vance and Sofia Nelson, who is transgender, from 2014 through 2017, the right-wing politician seemed to make statements about "hating" the police, slamming the Republican party altogether and emphasizing his disdain for Trump.
"He's just a bad man. A morally reprehensible human being," Vance penned in one message. "Im counting my lucky stars that I live in a place where I dont have to vote for her (because the margin will be so huge), because I know I could never support Trump if it really mattered."

(2,660 posts)The point is chaos and perhaps starting a new uprising that will weaken the US.
If somehow they steal the election, even better for Putin.
Don't think that TFG or his advisors called the shots on picking a VP

(2,132 posts)They have so much hate to share they are able to spare a shitload for themselves and their own felons, frauds, and rapists.
That says something noteworthy about republicon, um, character.

(24,373 posts)I seem to remember it working that way when I was young. Now it's not just that they don't, I don't think they could if they wanted -- after deceiving yourself so thoroughly, maybe it gets harder to know truth from a rat's nest of lies. Maybe after a certain degree of spouting bullshit authoritatively, vetting itself becomes meaningless.

(55,555 posts)They figured Trump is a ruthless sociopath/criminal and he gets away with his evil history.
The public wouldn't care about Vance's past history either.
And they could gaslight away any misstatements.

(185,242 posts)or land slade as Trump said recently at a rally.
John Heillemann said so on Morning Joe last week. Ive seen or read that elsewhere. Obviously Team Trump thinks whatever he thinks and after the worship he received at the convention he was/is certain its already over. This pick was seen as unimportant because everyone already loves Trump.
Thats the best explanation Ive seen.

(55,555 posts)They think it is a done deal.
The cult voters adore Trump, there are enough votes to cover up the theft of the election.
So the VP is not important.

(11,313 posts)Between his low ratings and Republican plans to stifle or prevent voter registrations and kick voters off the rolls in Democratic areas or any number of dirty tricks planned, the Trump campaign thought they could prevent any Democratic win. Now they have a real race. Theyll still cheat where possible, but the massive cheating needed to win some key states will be too noticeable to overlook.

(185,242 posts)About Trump stalling on the debates.
He's feeding a conspiracy going around that Kamala will be replaced at the convention.
They are still promoting this wild theory. Mostly that Michelle will replace Kamala. Its been going for months that Michelle would replace Joe and yet they were caught completely flat footed when Joe did step down.

Not an October surprise though, it best be Epstein's ghost.

(1,487 posts)I find it interesting that he was in regular contact with a trans person despite the fact that he professes to hate them so much.
usedtobedemgurl
(1,297 posts)Either the trans person was so talked by Vance's hate, they released the email, or Cancers wife is so horrified with him and upset about threats, she is trying to get him out of the race.

(466 posts)Vance may not be on the ticket in November. Of course, the only thing that matters to Trump is that Vance kisses his ass. But if his handlers can convince him keeping Vance will end up losing the election resulting in Trump going to jail, he might reconsider.

(13,113 posts)He could resign. But be forced off?
radical noodle
(8,112 posts)He can do whatever he wants and his cult will be fine with it. Vance would be faced with trump's wrath if he doesn't resign if trump wants him to.
