Why Trump Suddenly Thinks Picking J.D. Vance Was a Mistake

We fight, We win
Republicans may be starting to second-guess their party’s pick for vice president.


Trump campaign officials acknowledged that Trump selected the inexperienced Vance, charged with all his techno-authoritarian ideas, to boost support among their own base, not extend a hand to swing voters, according to The Atlantic. Vance was a symbol of the Trump team’s assuredness that they would win in 2024. Come Sunday, that assuredness appears to be shrinking.


“Most striking thing I heard from Trump allies yesterday was the second-guessing of JD Vance—a selection, they acknowledged, that was [born] of cockiness, meant to run up margins with the base in a blowout rather than persuade swing voters in a nail-biter,” Atlantic staff writer Tim Alberta, who had written the piece about the panicking Trump campaign, posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Trump decried Biden’s decision to drop out in a post on Truth Social, writing that his team would have to “start all over again” and asking to be reimbursed for the cost. At the same time, Vance has set straight to work, calling for Biden to resign from the presidency.

Meanwhile, the Democrats possess a new potential nominee in the form of Vice President Kamala Harris. And as a result, the party had one of the best fundraising days ever.

Great analysis. That's exactly why he chose the looks-good-on-paper authoritarian Mini-me Vance: to appeal to the evangelicals, the forced-birthers, the fascism-is-great-if-our-guy-is-the-king Cult. Independents and middle-of-the-road (R) voters (who are low in numbers) don't find that crap at all appealing or holding to American principles.

Making shit up isn't an analysis.
