I have to spike this football

So long as Donald John Trump is the supreme leader of the GOP, there is a better chance of you and I buying mega millions tickets in our respective hometowns and simultaneously winning than Mike Pence, Dick (or Liz) Cheney and Mitt Romney ever being let under the GOP big tent.
To be honest, I'm not sure any of those people want to be a part of the MAGA faction of the party.
Gotta be able to load his gun, first.
He’ll likely be too busy finding some tires to burn outside his wife’s window, given how much she likes the smell.
I didn't know a thing about Vance. Just would hear in 'mainstream media' and a little bit on this forum, how horrible he is, far right wing, mean guy. Supposedly even Ohio hated him, lol.
Then I hear him during the campaign, doing interviews, learn more about him. And unlike what most media have been saying, see that he's a normal guy, a decent man who is intelligent and believes in our country and it's people.
Hope he continues to kick ass for us.

Despite how much you seem to like Shapiro - which I don’t get as I saw an interview of him months ago where he really disparaged conservatives - I don’t understand how Walz was seen by the Democrat campaign as a superior choice as VP. Like picking Tom Allen over Curt Cignetti.
I was a liberal until I lost my first 2 of 4 matches and moved out from home! I did as well!
I don't even really think it was in spite of Harris specifically. I think Missouri approved a higher minimum wage and approved the abortion referendum (loosening restrictions) on the ballot. But voted in Trump and Hawley.
That right there tells me that not ALL Dem policies are umpopular but a great many people associate the Dems with identify politics and us vs. them bullshit which, after about 10 years now has become exhausing. Social justice scorecards needs to be wiped from history.
They are allowed back, they just aren't allowed back in leadership. You can't jump ship and actively work for the opposition and then come back like nothing happened and assume the same roles will be waiting for you. Not in the near term at the very least.
No it isn’t. Liz is absolutely a warmonger. You an the other hand are just clueless.
You are a dishonorable POS. Don't correspond with me. I have no desire to correspond with you.
Not until the reconiliation trials are over at least. I heard they have to dig the pits 12 feet deep this time.
I keed I keed.
I think that was a pretty restrained request from him. Maybe you should practice some self control and honor his request not to correspond with him. To do otherwise only points to you being an internet troll.
Aloha could just as easily choose not to respond to him. But then again he wouldn't be able to pin himself up on his cross of he did that.
I disagree, Guy. I don't think the substance of anything Vance says will piss off Trump. He's wildly ambitious and too smart for that. The problem, I think, is that he's young, well-spoken and very bright - - all the things Trump isn't. Trump doesn't like being upstaged. There were more than a few rumblings that Trump wasn't thrilled about Vance's solid debate performance, and the good reviews he received, after Trump had previously shit the bed when he debated Harris.
Vance runs the risk of being "too good" for Trump. He needs to lay low, avoid the limelight as much as possible and wait his turn - - four years max.
They did nothing but belittle and mock Kushner for four years.
Structural peace in the Middle East?
"Shut up Nepo baby!"
Then he got in front of the cameras and you realize he wasn't the idiot. The people criticizing him were the idiots.
I think that's a good assessment. If you think about it, it's pretty remarkable how Vance was able to thread the needle here. He went from calling Trump 'America's Hitler' to being his VP elect.
He succeeded where people like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and to a lesser degree Chris Christie couldn't.
I’m not sure it really matters.
There’s clearly a realignment going on. It’s not all that uncommon throughout history.
Yeah. It's called normal human interaction you Machiavellian weirdo.
Vance didn't like him, now he does. Trump didn't like that Vance didn't like him, now he likes Vance.
Opinions change and people are messy.
More news at 11.
Definitely. I wonder who will step up for the Dems. Newsom has to be thinking shit. Calif woke aint it
There's some truth to this. But there are a lot of people (including me, although I was young then) who feel hook, link and sinker for Dick's and GWB's war on terror and the need to get the WMDs, etc. The failures of the US to do nation building, etc. I'd imagine that's how other generations felt after Vietnam too, at least in terms of what the US should and shouldn't get involved with.
In 20 years he’ll be telling his grandkids that the hardest job he ever had was president of the United States
To mention Vance and Pence in the same sentence is crazy. Pence is softer than the other side of the pillow, Vance is a beast ask the CNN reporter who interviewed him a week or so.
I think the saying is "cooler than the other side of the pillow". (Stuart Scott, RIP)
Vance and Pence have one very important thing in common. Let's see if you can figure it out.
Their surnames both end with the letters “-nce”?
Trump picked him to save on printing costs.
hehe.....he's a guy who we'll remember 10 years from now with a chuckle. Not a bad guy and his silly ass helped rid us of Kamala. But Vance was the 'weird' one. Lol.
