Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) is making history as the least liked vice presidential nominee since 1980 following his party’s nominating convention, CNN reports.

He’s also the first to have a net negative favorable rating.

    JD Vance proves that no matter where you start, no matter how humble your beginnings, no matter how tough your journey, anyone can rise to be an insufferable asshole.

      Both Trump and Vance have pretty inspiring stories, Trump especially has shown us that, even if you have extreme mental disabilities, you too can rise to the level of US President. Being the first MRDD President was a real milestone.

    As an Ohioan, this guy is a wannabe poser piece of shit, and while I’d be glad to lose him as a Senator, I’f ‘d hate the trade-off to VP. I don’t even know why MAGAts would be supporting him either, given that there’s video recordings of this guy talking shit about Trump previously, but apparently things like evidence don’t matter to them and Herr Trump can do no wrong, he only picks the best people (who have almost universally come out against him after they’re done working him).

    I don’t think it’s a mystery why Trump chose Vance. He asked every potential VP pick whether they’d pull the trigger on stealing the next election in a repeat of J6. Vance has said he would do so publicly, so he went with the sleaziest option. Trump’s decision-making really isn’t that complicated.

    Too late now. Let’s see them try and simply swap him out now. Too much horse trading has been done by the Billionaire Boys Club, and I’m sure there a bunch of FEC rules surrounding campaign money once the ticket is set.

      Well they’re claiming Biden broke laws by stepping down. So by definition the most preferable thing to do as a Republican is to be the biggest hypocrite possible. So honestly I’d expect them to try and change the ticket

        LOLZ. They’re claiming a lot of things. Biden didn’t step down, and hasn’t. He simply stopped his run for President. He wasn’t even the nominee yet. He didn’t break any laws. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard yet from them. Where was this?

      A pattern he hasn’t broken in decades. Doesn’t ever stop the brainwashed idiots from voting for him.

    I read this as “there are people still undecided enough that the VP pick may still change whether they vote Trump” - and frankly I find that almost impossible to believe.

      I’m very confused about a person for whom trump is a viable choice and Vance is a bridge too far. I don’t know if I really want to meet them, but I am curious.

        It’ll probably be the people who can’t stand to see anyone with skin darker than wonderbread, since he had the temerity to marry a woman who’s Indian.
