4. But let's not forget Spiro Agnew.

The only VP ever forced to resign in disgrace and indicted for corruption.

Oh, and Richard Nixon was Eisenhower's pick, and we all know how that ended.

But then again neither of them screwed up their role as VP candidate like either Vance or Palin. In those terms yes, Vance and Palin, definitely stars unto themselves.

5. What did they expect from djt? He's totally incompetent, he doesn't listen to anybody, and of course, he

knows it all! And I bet you that he won't back down, for if he did and went w/ another VP candidate, that it would highlight just how wrong he was/is w/ his guttersnipe VP pick.

I'd say djt picks candidates that are stupid and can't be seen to be smarter than djt, who already is dumb as a thumbtack. When it doesn't take much to outshine a thumbtack, you are scrapping the bottom of the barrel. Nice pick, donny boy...

Who he then ceremoniously fires. He'll try to get Nikki Haley, even though he hates her, because he hates prison more.

The only question in my mind is, will she do it and tarnish herself with orange-ness and the stench of loss, or prefer her chances with a presidential run in 4 years?

her, for (1) well, he insulted her (2) she wouldn't be a good candidate anyways being that she swallowed her pride and went along w/ his new VP pick (if Nikki). The stench, by the way, is already ingrained into her. She's damaged herself tremendously by kissing tRUMP's a&&.

His part in bringing Sarah "plain and simple" Palin to the public eye and turning our public discourse to the violent Xtian Reich.
Make no mistake, Palin changed the whole nation by widening the void between normal and crazy and making crazy acceptable if you are running for president/vice president. She empowered the zealots to our detriment.

I didn’t know the role the still-unloved sons of Trump had in this fuck-up until this clip. Watch it.

JD should follow Abraham Lincoln’s advice:

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak an remove all doubt.
