I believe after his DUI 30 years ago, I believe he said he quit drinking completely. Don't know if he had a problem or was on his way to a problem, but as someone who has been sober 12 years, I commend him.
As far as Vance? We'll he's against IVF. My twin sons were conceived by IVF, like Walz's daughter. Vance hates people who decide not to have kids. Effectively, he wants people who will resent having children, which will come through to the kid, or can't feed house, and clothe them. No birth control, see previous, or abortion, once again see previous. Walz is all for safe, legal abortion, birth control, the right not to start a family. He's all about women's bodily autonomy. So I see Vance, who wants to take my daughters rights, and Walz, who wants to preserve and strengthen them. And once again, Vance, who apparently looks down on my wife and I for having fertility problems, as opposed to Walz, who has been there. Well Vance, you have isolated all 5 voting age adults in the house, who now wouldn't vote for you if you were the second coming, plus my mother and many of her senior friends who voted trump last time. All I know is that they desperately need every vote, and all they keep doing is pissing people off
His billionaire sugar daddy must have spent so much money trying to hide his natural instinct to just be offensive to everyone.
Does Vance not realize that there’s nothing to be gained by spouting hatred against childless people? They have friends and family who love them. There are people of conscience who oppose that kind of hatred on principle. There are completely amoral people who nonetheless still think taking such a stupid stance is disqualifying in a Vice Presidential candidate who is one extremely old, fat, and unhealthy heartbeat away from the most powerful and demanding job on Earth.
Who does he think he will sway with this brilliant speech?
The rednecks in the trailer park, mainly. Trump, and by extension Vance (and vice versa) get their popularity by hating the same groups that poor White voters, especially poor White men, hate. The hatred of childless/childfree people is just the extra turd on the shit sundae they're offering.
Okay but those people are already voting for him. The way American elections work is to appeal to the very small amount of undecided moderates, and to energize your base so they actually show up.
Trump’s base is already as energized as it gets. There’s no good reason to start isolating otherwise persuadable moderates.
Yeah, I know. I may have been kicked out of college twice but I still got a degree in political science.
I agree with you re: Chump's base. The problem is that they've all got raging cases of TB. I don't mean tuberculosis, but instead True Believerism. They think that if they pull the old stunt of beatings will continue until morale improves, they'll get moderate voters in their camp, too. They lack the basic intelligence and self-awareness to realize that all this is counterproductive and is harming them far more than it helps them. Since the base has the tyranny of conviction, well, you know where *that* goes.
Oh come on bro, there's no need to ruin the phrase true believers for me like that, I don't wanna think of these idiots when I hear true believers I wanna think about Stan Lee having a fun time responding to fan letters.
Well what MAGAts and the QAnon clowns *really* are are brainwashed fascists, but no one in polite society wants to utter the phrase. That's the problem with the Dems taking the moral high road when the Repukes punch below the belt.
Maybe Vance is assassination ınsurance. Trump picked him right after someone shot at him. Maybe he figures if he picks Vance, people will think twice if he gets elected. Nobody wants that wierdo as president. Well, the other weirdos do.
Yeah honestly considering the lives Trump has ruined, the businesses he’s bankrupted, the people he’s destroyed, I’m amazed no one has tried to kill him until now. He really is a very lucky guy.
And he's back to demanding that they let him do outdoor rallies. I get that its because he can't afford the indoor ones but sheesh its like he WANTS to get shot at again.
Also he tried to undermine Democrats because they had fun and hopeful vibe at their assembly. This guy said akin "Working class children are starving and Democrats are laughing".
Vance has zero charisma and he attacks both sides with his bizarre comments.
Vance absolutely resents his kid, as evidenced by his shut up / Pikachu moment. He doesnt care if he creates more resentful parents because he thinks it's normal to be this way.
Yeah, my niece was an IVF baby and I love that little bundle of smiles. Anyone who is against IVF will never get my support, although there were plenty of other reasons already.
