Sarah Palin had some appeal and definitely had a fan base and a movement of support. JD Vance has none of that, he is a wet limp handshake of a nominee. Its like he has never interacted with a regular person in his political life. He can't talk to or connect to the regular American. Every day there is something else he has said in the past or says then that repels crucial independent voters. He's so unappealing no one will even make a porn parody of him.
