    The Marine Corps taught me a lot of dudes want to douse 5.56 rounds in pigs blood.

    Serious question.

    Do you think a black woman exists that can out debate JD vance?

    Or is "black woman" too much of a handicap to reach the heights of JD vance rhetorical acumen?

    that was one of my first thoughts. "John Kennedy was a friend of mine, and you're no John Kennedy."

    I would not assume that Vance is going to beat down Harris.

    Harris is a ethnic minority woman.

    The people you are replying to believe that is an inherent -20 IQ attribute.

    8 years ago, going into the 2016 presidential election,


    J.D. Vance compared then-candidateTrump to Hitler



    In a July 2016 piece for the Atlantic magazine, Vance compared Trump to “cultural heroin,” a “new pain reliever” that promised easy solutions to
    the mounting social problems of suffering communities — but that ultimately “could not fix what ails them.”

    “To every complex problem, he promises a simple solution,” Vance wrote, citing Trump’s promises to bring jobs back by simply punishing offshoring companies or
    to cure the opioid epidemic by building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. “He never offers details for how these plans will work, because he can’t.
    Trump’s promises are the needle in America’s collective vein.” “Trump is cultural heroin.
    He makes some feel better for a bit. But he cannot fix what ails them, and one day they’ll realize it,” Vance wrote.

    “But I think that I’m going to vote third party because I can’t stomach Trump,” Vance said. “I think that he’s noxious and is leading the White working class to
    a very dark place. And ultimately I just don’t share Hillary Clinton’s politics.”​

    Leftist politicians like JD Vance are responsible for this attempt at Donald Trump's life. What do you think would happen if you call Trump Hitler?

    This is actually happening? Are Dems really going to keep the Biden/Harris ticket? That strategic error would be very difficult to overcome.

    It just really seems that there is a fairly large subset of men, mostly (but not entirely) white men that know virtually nothing about anything outside of the opinions and thoughts of other white men.

    Vance didn't even win his debates against Tim Ryan - so not sure how he is going to destroy Harris, who is far more experienced and quicker than Vance.

    Also - Vance is going to be directly asked about his comments supporting a national abortion ban and that incest and rape is not an automatic exception. He is also vulnerable on his comments about white replacement theory and his position that families should have more political influence than single people.

    I don't know who will win a debate between Vance and Harris - but I do know that it is absurd to be so confident that Vance will wipe the floor with her.

    I am glad that Vance is from a different generation than Pence though, we need more representation for Gen X and Millennials and I like that he is at least familiar with crypto currency.

    It seems to be happening.

    They do not have very much time left to make a change.

    This reminds me some of when Bush Sr. ran again -

    The Democrats will have to regroup, and someone will emerge and be the identity of the party, hopefully it is someone that is a good leader and honest.

    Trump has made some smart political decisions. This one seems to be a mistake, politically.

    JD Vance is dangerous, though. When people say Trump isn't smart enough (or doesn't have the patience to plan it all out) to become a dictator, they aren't wrong. But Vance is a different story. He shrewdly and successfully plotted his way to the mainstream 8 years ago, then made a complete U-turn within a year to plot his way to the VP.

    Kamala is half black and half Indian. And she will get steamrolled in a debate with JD Vance. His IQ is much much higher than hers -- pretty obvious.
