... The Ohio senator's net favorable rating was at -6 points after the Republican National Convention (RNC), according to CNN's senior data reporter Harry Enten. This is far behind the general average since 2000, which was +19 points. ... "It's in negative net territory, negative -- look at that -- negative," he said. "I have gone all the way back since 1980. He is the first guy, immediately following a convention -- a VP pick -- who actually has a net-negative favorable rating. The average since 2000 is +19 points. J.D. Vance [is] making history in the completely wrong way." Enten went on to say that VPs are usually popular, but he said Vance was "dragging Trump down." "What does Vance add?" Burnett asked. Enten replied: "Look, he won white working-class voters, he won white voters without a college degree in the state of Ohio. But pretty much every Republican wins white working-class voters." ...

Vance was a weird choice.
Almost as if Trump thought there were people further to the right of Hitler that they needed to secure the votes of.
I'm not a republican strategist, but I'd assume a more moderate Republican would have been a better choice.
Maybe, someone like Nikki Haley who actually preformed well during the primaries.

Vance worked with billionaire Peter Thiel one of the architects of Project 2025. Thiel pushed him on Trump with the promise of $45 million per month from Elon after the convention as a reward. Now that Vance is locked in, Elon says "I have said that".
The smartest man on the planet just got played.

Dotard already had that demographic locked up. A VP should bring people to the ticket that the main candidate can't.
The very stable jenius really isn't.
Voters don't like him.

JD Vance Foreword in Project 2025 Leader's Book Raises Eyebrows www.newsweek.com
... Vice presidential candidate JD Vance writing the foreword in Project 2025 leader Kevin Roberts' new book has raised eyebrows online. ... On Wednesday, Roberts' book, Dawn's Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America, which is set to be published in September, started to gain traction on X, formerly Twitter, because its foreword was written by Vance, an Ohio senator and Trump's running mate. Kyle Tharp, managing director of Courier Newsroom, a liberal news source, posted on Wednesday morning: "Wow. The architect of Project 2025, Kevin Roberts, has a new book coming out in September about taking over Washington. JD Vance wrote the foreword." The post went viral, gaining 555,900 views by Wednesday afternoon. Vance also left an editorial review on Amazon, writing: "Never before has a figure with Roberts's depth and stature within the American Right tried to articulate a genuinely new future for conservatism... We are now all realizing that it's time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon." ...

I thought Trumpanzee didn't like bearded guys. JD needs the beard to hide that soft-looking face. It mans him up.
Trumpanzee is the republic0wn party now.
A vote for him is a vote for a select group of useless panzees.

Dotard thought he had this thing in the bag. The Vance choice was somebody who would carry out his wishes no matter what, and a big F-You to Dems, women, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community.
I recall the joke that HW Bush picked Quayle as life insurance. Surely nobody would assassinate HW if Quayle was waiting in the wings. Maybe Maybelline man is Dotard's life insurance.

I noticed the sub-summary image the backroom folk posted on this thread, Specifically the part about Republicans having concerns about Sen Vance as their VP nominee.
Republicans Really Wish Trump Hadn't Picked J.D. Vance newrepublic.com
... Some Republicans are starting to seriously regret Donald Trump's vice presidential nominee, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance. It's been only one week since Vance was nominated at the Republican National Convention, and already his own party members are expressing severe doubts about Trump's pick. The former president's allies have acknowledged that nominating Vance was the product of Trump's absolute certainty that he would be able to defeat Joe Biden in November. While Vance wouldn't do much for swing voters or independents, he would likely shore up support among Trump's base. But ever since Biden passed the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party's new presumptive nominee, Republicans have begun to sour on Vance. "The road got a lot harder. He was the only pick that wasn't the safe pick. And I think everyone has now realized that," one House Republican told Axios Thursday, under the condition of anonymity. Another House Republican told Axios that Vance "doesn't add much." ...

As I have said before, I think/thought it was intentional on Pres Biden's part to wait until after the Republican convention before he announced he was stepping down.
Unlike fmr Pres Trump, Pres Biden seems to think more strategically than transitionally.

This has been a splendid year for #45. The dotard spent weeks in a stuffy NYC court overseen by a Hispanic judge without access to pristinely clean toilets AND where the "Central Park Five" were wrongfully prosecuted in 1989; five innocent boys that #45 demanded be executed. See his full-page ad below.
Now #45 realizes by selecting a bearded hillbilly, he picked the worst VPOTUS candidate imaginable. Too bad Steve Bannon wasn't around to guide his aspartame-addled brain.

"And Italy's shaped like a boot! Who knew?"
And let's not forget part of #45's splendid 2024 involved excruciating and devastating civil litigation loses at the hands of two minorities (Ms. Letitia James and Mr. Alvin Bragg).
And the NYSAG continues to help Kamala.

And we have plenty of time to get into Vance's far right, far weird, extremist Catholic views on how life should go for those who are not Catholic or who are not married to have kids, or who are, gasp, gay.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)"Senator J.D. Vance is "working overtime" to concoct statements that will offend the nation's owners of pet birds and fish, the Republican VP nominee confirmed on Friday.
"I would have loved to infuriate the country's dog owners, but Kristi Noem got to them first," he said. "Still, that leaves millions of bird and fish owners for me to piss off, and I, for one, am raring to go."
"I know I have my doubters," he added. "But anyone who thinks I can't repel every last bird or fish lover in this great land of ours doesn't know J.D. Vance (formerly JD Bowman and JD Hamel)

If you like where the country has gone under BIDEN--HARRIS with mass illegal immigration, crime gone wild, inflationary national debt. the endless chaos of wars and death in middle east & Ukraine, more China and Russia collusion, teacher unions that selfishly DE-EDUCATE children by keeping them out of class------ you will love where it goes under an anti common sense hateful idiot like Harris
