Yup, Trump miscalculated, he thought he had it locked up against Biden and wanted to run up the score and doubled down on MAGA and ignored swing voters.

This.  Trump ran a play that did make SOME sense if you start with the assumption that he had a cakewalk to the White House.  Vance gave him 1) cred with the billionaire tech donor class, and Donny DOES like their money, and 2) would set up a second generation of MAGA to "carry on his legacy" (because Donny does grasp that his kids don't have what it takes to do that).  If you're going to win, those things help you gild the lily.

BUT...if you suddenly end up in a different, competitive race....Vance gives you very little to help in that respect.  

 

TLDR; Vance wasn't a terrible pick for the race Trump thought he was in.  He's a pretty weak pick for the race that Trump actually ended up in.

The legal impediments will be R legal goons filing shit and asking for injunctions until said shit can be heard. If they get a hack judge and happen to win something, all the better. 

Every one of those challenges will, for some mysterious reason, be filed in Amarillo in Judge Kacsmaryk's court....who will 1) find that a Federal Court in Texas absolutely, 100% has jurisdiction and is the proper venue for a challenge to the election procedures of each of the 49 states that are not Texas, and 2) Neither Harris nor Biden can appear on any ballot in any state, because Article II of the Constitution does not contain the words "Harris" or "Biden," and therefore there was no original intent by The Founders to allow either one of those woke communist fascists to run for president.  CASE.  CLOSED.

Again...I thought we were in the nest, in the trust tree?  Are we not?  Because all of this judgment is making me a tad uncomfortable.

Also, the other vibe I'm getting from Vance is that he should totally post on Surly.  He'd fit right in.

I hope you didn't get a shaming vibe from me - it's ok to be a weird little freak! Just don't be a fascist because you're ashamed of yourself. Ya know, along the lines of grindr going down in Milwaukee during the RNC while the republicans are trying to undo Obergefell

Does Walz help win the election from an EC perspective. Sounds like he solidifies MN but what does he do for PA, WI, MI, AZ, NC or GA? Curious on what the thinking is there.

He can reach and connect with rural and suburban voters. He's a throwback character with modern sensibilities. You plant him in any room in America and he'll fit in. And he's found a viewpoint with MAGA that will resonate while still being delightful. It's a gift.  

Pick someone like Shapiro and we maybe squeeze out a victory. The upside with Walz is a bigger movement and runaway victory.

At which point SCOTUS slow walks whether to grant cert and ultimately schedules arguments for next March, and after that Joe Biden has to decide whether to carry out some official acts to protect American democracy.

No way trump ever picks a female vp. His entire schtick is a bizzaro version oh hypermasculinity. Women are only sex objects to him. And the GQP wants to put those uppity sluts in their place. Which you need the power structure to consist entirely of white men. On the off chance he does somehow replace Vance it will absolutely be with a white purportedly straight “Christian” man.

I think we are just vibing but no, not really.  VPs have historically not moved the needle at all.  Agree that he solidifies MN but that's about it.

I am not sure how late in the cycle one can change their residency.  Trump would have to, as both DeSantis and Rubio are elected officials for the state of Florida. 

Cheney changed his late July 2000.  

That's what I thought when Lil Marco was mentioned as a top candidate, but never heard about it then.

They've found out the plot.  (Why are they so obsessed with Michelle Obama?)

 

One of Vance's kids is named Vivek.  Hmm...

This election should not be close and it would not be if not for the EC, which literally brings out the worst in us. Instead of trying to unite the country, political calculations rely on keeping your base and threading the needle of swing state voters, many of which respond to the fear tactics and hateful rhetoric and chaos pushed by the right at the rest of our expense. Imagine how different campaigns would be if the president was elected by popular vote.

I would imagine if Trump tried to change his residency weeks after the RNC to pick DeSantis or Rubio, the Democrats would and should sue. He’s officially the GOP nominee from the state of Florida.

How to Damage Control:

Everyone calm down. Senator Vance was just saying that childless women are miserable in their own lives and want to make everyone else miserable, too. He didn’t mean to bring cats into it and is grateful to Megyn Kelly for the opportunity to clarify his views. 

JFC, this dude is an idiot.

I bet he doesn't last past the DNC.  He'll replace him w/ a female candidate. 

And I don't wear hats but would absolutely wear a "White Dudes for Harris" tshirt. 

When I'm wearing any tshirt, the "White Dude for" part is pretty obvious.

How she could bend the knee to a man who said all those things about her father just shows how gutless so called conservatives are. This is exactly who you are since 2008, Meghan. 

I thought she was vehemently anti-Trump (setting aside her other issues).  Did I miss something?

Go look at her Twitter feed. She's as big a shitbag as any of the other MAGA people.

I think she meant other conservative women friends who support Trump are now reconsidering, not that she was voting for Trump, in the manner of 

“not that he lives in Oklahoma freakshow and I am the idoit.”

So it appears Tucker is mostly to blame, err thank, for dipshit’s selection of JD Vance as VP.

https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/trump-has-tucker-carlson-to-blame-for-the-abject-disaster-of-selecting-jd-vance-as-his-running-mate/

the same guy who texted "I hate him (Trump) passionately."?

the same guy who texted in regards to Trump's presidency : “We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest; But come on. There isn’t really an upside to Trump.”?

the same guy who texted : "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait."?

Yet she reposts every meme about Biden and Kamala. She's just trying to get Vance off the ticket. She's still voting for Trump.

"Caused real pain"?  "Innately unchristian"?  Bitch, that's EXACTLY who they are. 

In fairness to Meghan, its not unchristian in MAGA world to say that most immigrants are rapists and criminals. White women feeling personally attacked is unchristian though!

Yep.

And also....look, do I like Meghan McCain?  No.  I do not.  She is plenty piece of shitty, aligned with many of the shittiest of conservative ideas.

BUT....does she have some epic thundercats, and am I distracted by that?  Yes.

I am a simple man, and I should probably be ashamed of that, but I'm too simple to be ashamed.  Quite the internal conundrum.

It's fucking incredible. My dad is an IBEW California hippie who you couldn't pay to say anything nice about a Republican, but even he respects John McCain more than his own daughter.
