Maybe someone has already written it, but there's a deep-dive article to be written for some publication like The Atlantic or New Yorker about why the GOP/Trump Camp Pain are so focused on the Vice Presidential pick (at the expense of focusing on the actual candidate)... And how even mundane things trigger such strong reactions. I have a few theories on this case...

It's a really hard state to poll...

More evidence that Tim Walz is the worst VP pick in the history of the world....

You gotta work really hard to provoke an official statement like that from a group like the VFW.... most of them don't want to engage this kind of stuff at all

Wow

Isn't this just social media in general at this point?

You're the one who went on a long rant about Ben Shapiro and Ron Filipowski, not me. If you don't want to engage on things that involve them, feel free to ignore and move along next time. Rather than thread policing.

If you don't want to engage in a post that involves Ben Shapiro, feel free to not engage on it. I'll leave it at that.

I know we're supposed to take this ticket seriously but not literally, but following JD's logic, half of my family should have had to stay back in Poland and deal with the Russians and, later on, the Germans. Just bananas stuff when taken to it's logical end.... probably would impact most Americans!

Thanks, I didn't realize that. /s

Purely objectively, there is one side is acting cocky, arrogant and overconfident about this election. And it isn't the Harris campaign.

The picture below suggests that Ben has rarely darkened the doorstep of any retail outlet lol

But do they know that, contrary to his comments yesterday, he puts a little chili powder in his hot dish? That will spell the end to his approval rating, I'm sure of it!

I worked there when I was in high school.... it's a good place to learn work ethic, or at least it was for me.

Incredible...

It really is amazing how so much commentary on this subject ignores the existence of the rest of the world. Of course, acknowledging the rest of the world is inconvenient and would raise questions about whether we'd be exactly where we are today had Trump been reelected in 2020, so....

I heard his comments, I don't think it's something she should harp on over and over, but I don't think it's a bad part of her bio to highlight.... especially given that her opponent comes from the elite and hasn't had a day of real actual work in his entire life.

Polling over the past week has consistently showed Walz as being the most popular of each of the candidates currently on a ticket... Yet these clowns think he's the worst VP pick ever. Just stuck in their bubble

The disorienting thing about our current moment versus previous cycles is just how the drive of the news cycle is out of Trump's hand at the moment. In the nine years since he came down the escalator, I don't think we've seen him less in control of the narrative (except for the two weeks after Jan 6th anyway) I know we are all influenced by the past, but it's a real distinction from 2016 and 2020. It explains the press conferences over the past week, even if they probably do more harm than good.

Maybe. Although the bigger likelihood is that it will come and go and they'll move on to the next thing, which will also lead to words like "communism" being thrown around. The formula is pretty well established at this point.

The word "communism" gets thrown around so much these days to the point where it has lost all meaning.
