She isn't a candidate. She likes being rich. This is their chance to rake it in. And she has the serious problem of needing to bounce Kamala.

I don't know if she is electable. Though the population's tolerance for electing "executives" without the track record to run a WalMart is always impressive.

Your words to God’s ears my friend.

Media is claiming he was die-hard Republican. This is my opinion, but he doesn’t appear to fit the mold.

Timothy McVeigh was a registered republican, and the media was foaming at the mouth.

Yeah, we let him meet his maker about 30 minutes from my house.

He was a member of the party, but there are a number of reasons you might do that. 1) to get helpful ID, though I think he signed up 2 years ago; 2) Closed primaries which last I heard were still a thing in Penn. 3) To help stack the count for Democrats as election workers; 4) To tip votes to weaker republican candidates; 5) He could be a RINO.

Well don’t listen to all of the alleged experts on the news. I have already heard the “ban all guns” and the “he was a Maga extremist” arguments. The media only sends their finest.

I registered as a Democrat when I first registered to vote, solely so I could vote against that murdering bastard Ted Kennedy in the primary.
Who ever thought that peanut farmer would run the table?

I guess you could say the country was in a great malaise that election year.

I think Trump has just made his election chances harder. He needs the middle ground, not his base, they are already there.

What else is new…

Ohio is already in the republican count unless all the polling on earth is wrong. And yes, of course it was intentional. While Vance doesn't help Trump with let's say, Virginia, he does offer a wedge into the northern blue wall through labor and the working class that a Youngkin or Haley would not move. Trump's strategy seems to be to attack the Democrat coalition rather than simply grow the republican tent. He may be onto something.

I thought I read somewhere a while ago that as Ohio goes, so goes the election. Perhaps Trump sees Vance as an insurance policy on Ohio, and therefore, the election?
