I still don't believe Trump can hold it together between now and election day. He'll screw it up on his own.
And while this guy is definitely pretty far left, he is a veteran and a retired public school teacher. Those are 2 pretty large groups that he may be able to pull in at higher percentages than usual (especially the veterans).
There are times when you just scratch your head when reading this board and say “what in the total F is this guy thinking??”
mlb’s post here is one of those times. I mean, you gotta be kidding me.
Nope. Trump has shown his ability to screw things up on a massive scale in terms of PR. He did it in 2020.
I'm not saying this guy will move the needle for the Democrats, but every time the "conservatives" on this board brag about how the Democrats are done the polls come back saying the opposite. When Biden stepped down, it was over. When Harris became the presumptive nominee, it was over. I'm certainly not going to say that the race is over when they bring in a VP candidate like this. Each time they've come back stronger than they were before.
Trump wildly outperformed the polls in 2020 and is way more popular today than back then. I wouldn’t use midterm results as a main data point either since Trump wasn’t on the ballot. He drives a different type of voter to the polls.

Josh Shapiro is at least 8x as intelligent as Kamala Kameleon. Mark Kelly is probably 4x as smart. Tim Walz is, at best, only twice as smart. She'll still be outmatched by her running mate, but not by nearly as much.
Hell, Mensa is smarter than Kumswallow.

Somebody on Fox mentioned that today.
And when they asked Kamala as she deplaned in Philly, she said she "got along better" with Walz.

RE: Field Set
I'm not a Shaprio fan, but if you compare him and Walz, the choice is clear.
They can speculate and spin all they want, but this wasn't a case of, "I'm picking Walz over Shapiro". Not buying it.
That said, this is a win for Trump. Bigly.

Well, I have to give her credit for being smart enough to name someone as a running mate more moderate than her. (Sarcasm)

I suspect she had no say in the pick. Does anyone really think they let her make decisions?

If Kamala thought it would advance her career, she'd still blow him. Dead or not.

Vance is an idiot. And I grew up and still live 30 miles from where he grew up. You can't take anything he says as serious. He is insurance that you don't want to assassinate Trump if he is elected again.
Vance is also going to cost Trump the women vote... again. Too many skeletons keep coming out from his past.
Keep peddling that BS. The only ones who think that are you democrats. Trump isn't ever going to win with the Karen's anyway. BTW, since you're trying to draw a comparison between you and Vance, when were you nominated for and elected to national office again?

Vance is an idiot? Really? How so? Because he doesn’t support the liberal mindset? Because he called out kamala as the clown she is? Just how is he an idiot?

Well, for starters, he says that his high school did not provide the economic opportunities that kids get on the coasts.
He went to high school in suburban Cincinnati/Dayton. Yes, his suburb is technically an old steel town, but it is 30 minutes from Cincinnati and 20 minutes from Dayton, right along an interstate, and had long since been swallowed by the suburban sprawl by the time Vance went to high school in the 1990s.
Contrast his upbringing with Vivek Ramaswathy, who is the same age. Vivek's Dad worked for GE's most profitable research division only about 25 minutes away from Vance's high school.

If that’s all you got then you’ve really got nothing.
Again, for the hard of hearing, how is Vance an idiot?
As an aside, he and Vivek are very very close friends. Which is cool. I think Vivek is a superstar honestly. The country is in good hands in the future with Vivek, imo.

I’d be careful with that.
If Trump is trying to coalesce black voters (men mostly) then that could alienate them.
