Some back and forth about whether he was prolife. They established that he was.

He'll, just about everyone in the party has said something negative about Trump and then flip-flop to kiss his ass.

for the heads up. Is the hamster still running itself to death? Are they fund raising again?

You deserve a medal for going there.

His wife is not going to factor into the election. They seem to like that Vance is part of the base.

The post starts with a sexist and racist slam against Harris and burrows deeper:

(So long as he’s not a cackling moron or a DEI pick.)
Vance has a DEI wife. Her influence on him could be trouble for American workers of White European heritage.

I’d rather illegal aliens crossing the souther border than indian scammers getting here on h1-b visas. Though ideally we would have neither.

But they seem excited by him. The only option that was never an anti-Trumper was Ben Carson.

And the ones that are being positive see. To me like they are trying to convince themselves.

Reminds me of Clinton picking Warner, not an energizing pick.
