    I cannot actually imagine him doing very well in an election either way.

      I bet you would have said the same thing about Trump in 2016 and yet here we are. Attempting to understand the thought process of inherently irrational people is a losing battle.

            Trump started saying on main the vile, despicable stuff American people had wanted to say since the civil rights movement. He can LARP as a successful person (a poor person’s idea of a rich person etc etc). Vance is as appealing as lukewarm cottage cheese.

        Nah, when Trump won the nomination in 2016 I knew we were cooked. Vance doesn’t have the same appeal. He’s got the “owning libs” part down but his humor lacks a broader appeal, unlike Trump.

        Sorry bud, I knew he was gonna win because Hillary was gonna lose. I did not think he was going to lose in 2020 though—and honestly I wish he won just so we would be done with it all by now. But that revenge project 2025, mixed with 4 years of him aging just killed the whole country.
