I'm old enough to remember the damage caused to Bush Sr.'s reelection campaign in 1992 when Dan Quayle criticized the portrayal of a fictional single mother on the TV show "Murphy Brown." JD Vance takes this line of attack on single and/or childless women to a whole new depth because he's going after real people, not TV characters. This will not end well for him.
Couchfucker Vance is the bigliest ~~mistake~~ win, ever.
Yeah, I too remember that one. Why was Vance even chosen? For all his issues at least Pence could make an occasional good sound byte.
Booed at Hamilton: “That’s the sound of Democracy.” Indeed it is. And he did the ethical thing when it counted most.
Pence was there to bring the evangelical vote. What’s this guy got?
You gotta be quiet and polite, so the right can still support you when you kill the gays
Are you in need of a good therapist or is that a Vance quote?
Hey man, it’s just Pence’s AIDS policy, don’t look at me
Oh sure, he’s terrible. I named the only 2 things he did right.
Oh yeah, I’m just trying to dig at them both, as Pence has nothing but a veneer of civility, and Vance doesn’t even have that
Though I suppose when it comes time to choose a couch…
When you couch it in those terms...I agree :)
I think Vance was supposed to appeal to the youth, since he's literally half Trump's age.
He looks like a 30 something incel who stumbled from the basement into a suit. It is a demographic, so, there’s that I guess. Only now, instead of his mom taking him to the doctor and answering all the doctor’s questions for him, now his wife does it.
Considering that Bush Sr wanted America to be less like The Simpsons and more like The Waltons, that tracks.
He knows nothing of either. The Waltons were actually, like, decent and caring people best they could be. People who say they wanna go back to the Waltons mean a time where they ruled over the poor everybodies and any hospitality or dogoodery was only ever highly discretionary on their part
