Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.

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.

So now trump will dump Vance. Who’s next lol
While I won’t say he won’t dump him, it would definitely make him look weak. I mean, Trump picked him and he dumps him as soon as he has problems and he picked a bad candidate? That just screams poor leadership and weak. Plus the RNC already happened, and with as much as they bitched about switching the dem candidate… although Republicans aren’t exactly famous for doing as they say…
Yea, the Trump response is often to foolishly double-down, he did last week on Kamala turning Black. I don’t see him being able to admit he was wrong about Vance, he’ll probably double-down again.
I can see it now: The radical left is coming after JD Vance because they can’t choose their names like he did and they can’t fuck as many couches as he can. Or something like that.
Idk, practically everything he's done for 8 years now has screamed poor leadership and weakness to me but his cult keeps eating it up ..
That was the Trump administration in a nutshell. I wonder how many Scaramuccis Vance will last.
Yes, but Mooch and others like him weren’t the position of power that a dictator needs as a yes man. Which Vance has promised to be. That’s all Trump needs.
Trump wouldn't do it himself, he'd have Vance step down.
He’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. He’s just done.
Doubt it. Foreign countries having leverage over you is basically the hallmark of trumps presidential position.
Can he though? Aren’t the ballots more or less fixed now? Didn’t he win the republican primary?
Oh, is it against the rules? Yeah, Trump probably won't try to do it then.
It’s against the rules, but the party can just change those. The issue is that the states won’t print new ballots. So, even if the VP nominee changes, the ballots will still say Vance.
Wasn't Vance duly elected at the Republican convention? Could trump unilaterally kick him out?
