Sen. JD Vance's favorable rating has slid even further from where it was a week and a half ago, prompting CNN's Harry Enten to call Vance the worst vice presidential nomination pick since 1972.

            Madam Vice President the American people have a clear understanding of your position on the issues at stake, namely that you aren’t a raving freak show like your opponents, but one major question remains: will you or will you not send kitty pics? We deserve to see your cat. Should you win we wish to see your cat walk past your addresses without any regard whatsoever about you trying to announce changes to our lives.

      To help others.

      On Quayle:

      Press coverage of the convention was dominated by questions about “the three Quayle problems”.[23] The questions involved his military service, a golf holiday in Florida where he and several other politicians shared a house with lobbyist Paula Parkinson,[24][12] and whether he had enough experience to be vice president. Quayle seemed at times rattled and at other times uncertain or evasive as he responded to questions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Quayle

      And then:

      John McCain probably lost whatever chance he had to become president on August 28, the day he invited Sarah Palin to be his running mate. https://origins.osu.edu/history-news/why-sarah-palin-gamble-didn-t-pay

      Thus, the burn.

      Edit: JD Vance probably had to look this up, too.

    JD’s mom was masterbating on her favorite couch, not realizing that JD’s dad had recently done the same… and thus she become pregnant with JD despite the sexless loveless marriage. Nobody told JD about it, but he was always drawn to the place of origin like a salmon.

        Seriously, Pence called him looking for guidance on the electoral college certification, and it was Quayle who convinced him that he had no choice but to certify the election. He’s earned the right to spell potato however he wants.

          JD is much worse.

          When Palin first joined the McCain ticket, she boosted his poll numbers and none of the criticism she got seemed to stick. It was only when SNL started parodying her that public opinion shifted. On paper she was exactly what McCain needed, both to shore up his base and to add some much need youth and energy, and having that whole family image that polled well with women.

          Obviously we have a lot more information to go on now, but at the time Palin made sense.

          Vance was a terrible pick from the beginning. He’s a nut job that even Republicans aren’t happy with. He appeals to nobody that wouldn’t have already been a Trump supporter. He adds nothing of value, just more shit that people can easily mock and/or be terrified of.

          Dick was a horrible VP. A vile human being. But on paper he looked decent until the position. Jergin Dick just seems like a horrible choice in every way possible. Not recognizable. Bad reputation. Talks shit about his boss. And flip flopped on everything since forever. Zero integrity.

        No one was going to help McCain, he was a long shot candidate after 8 years of a Republican president that left the country exhausted and fed up, Obama was an answer, McCain was an offer to get more of the same with a little tweak here and there.

        Not mine either but I met him once in a hotel lobby. He was very nice to the group of high schoolers and came off as a decent person but that may have just been him being good at his job.

        I always felt watching that election that he was pushed to the right and out of his comfort zone by the state of his base and even though I didn’t want him to be president I felt a little sorry for him. He would have made a better president than a lot of other Republicans.

      Clearly Palin would be the second-worst pick now.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
