    Absolute panic and disarray. I wonder who he would go with. Logically, it would have to be a woman or person of color to counter Harris, right? Would there be anyone who would boost him among pro-Palestinian voters, I wonder?

      Hell yeah, that would be hilarious. Mike Lindell, the Jesse Ventura we have at home.

        I feel like that’s kind of harsh, to you know, the former governor. What has Lindell accomplished other than quitting crack a couple times

          And Jesse might have some legit ailments from the military. He’s gone a bit cuckoo, but can still remain coherent.

    Replacing Vance now would also undermine any argument they might make about switching the names on ballots for the Democrats. Those aren’t valid, anyway–Biden wasn’t the official nominee until the convention says so; nothing was locked in–but they would now lose the possibility of using it rhetorically.

      Biden wasn’t the official nominee until the convention

      Even then, nothing prohibits him (or Vance, realistically) from resigning.

      This is mostly just funny to watch.

        There is a legal point where states won’t accept changes to the ballots. Also a practical one where there isn’t time to print new ones. Neither point has passed, of course, but Trump was trying to imply it was.

          If Biden died on November 4th, he’d remain on the ballot the next day and - if he won the majority of the EC - Harris would be the presumptive President Elect on November 6th. If Vance resigned as VP, we’d see the same results under a Trump win. We have a clear order of succession and mechanisms for appointing replacements to downticket slots like VP per the 25th amendment.

          The absolute worst case scenario is that Trump would force Vance to resign and then be stuck with a House/Senate picking his VP for him. But since he’s not even the President-Elect at the moment I don’t think that’s actually an issue.

    Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies that can’t complete a coherent sentence is scared. He’s looking really bad, the dementia is really getting to him. He picked a VP that he forgot was openly talking shit about him and loves fucking couches. He needs to just drop out, it’s embarrassing.

      I’m with you except for the fucking couches part. It was a joke someone on Twitter said that had no basis in reality (AP fact checked), and repeating it, knowing its not true, is the behavior of a bully.

      Call him a fascist because that’s what he is, not some made up insult with no basis in reality.

        I’m actually fine with bullying fascists though. It’s not like theyre gonna take your civility as an example to follow, and if this bullying also messes up their plans then even better.

        Bullying fascists is already being civil tbh, its still far nicer than what they deserve

        I’ve yet to see him deny being a couch fucker and the AP retracted their correction when someone pointed out that they can’t prove he never fucked a couch. If this bullying causes him to leave the campaign, then it’s working as intended. Along with being a couch fucker, JD Vance is, like all Republicans, a spineless weasel obsessed with acquiring power any way he can.

        Is calling Vance a couch fucker any worse than Republicans alleging that Harris slept her way to the top?

          No, it’s the same thing. Accusing people of things you know they didn’t do is the sign of an asshole. We should be better than that.

              they go low, we go high!” worked so well

              We try to win against bad people and still be better than them when we’re done.

            We should be better than that? We keep doing that. We keep taking it on the chin and taking the high road. The high road got us Dementia Don. I’m fine with throwing some of their shit right back at them. Does it make me an asshole? Honestly, I don’t care. I’m over the republikkklowns, and I’m ready for our country to progress again. Fuck that couch fucker and the elephant he rode in on. Fuck the Russians that are out spewing bullshit propaganda along with the assets they have that have managed to get elected. While I’m at it, FUCK anyone voting for them. You’re a piece of shit if you do, there is no argument, no defense.
