JD Vance gives icy response to reporter's question

The question FOX 2 Detroit Charlie Langton had for Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance was "what makes you smile?" His response? "Lots of things, including bogus questions from the media."

Do you know it says a lot about a person when being asked “what makes you happy” is triggering for them

[luodeligesi]

"What makes you smile?"
"My wife and kids"

Gee man, it's not that hard for normal people...

[MacLaw]

What a softball question that could’ve been used to humanize himself.

“My wife and family make me smile. My hope and pride for our country. etc” easy.

The couch turned him away that morning

What the F kind of response is that to a softball “what makes you happy, what makes you smile?” Smh

Why didn't he say his kids? This really playing into the notion that he resents childless people because he doesn't like his own children. The interview where he was bragging about telling his 7 year old to f- off because he was on the phone with Trump also not a good look.

I hear furniture stores make him smile

Very impersonal. Antisocial. Someone should’ve asked him what brand of eyeliner he uses.

What makes you smile?
“Couch, eyeliner and Diet Mountain Dew…”

Vance had a severe misunderstanding of the words, “Love seat.”

Missed opportunity for Vance to sound like a real person.

The most character building, softball question you could give - Apparently being angry and creepily stalking the Vice President's Plane at airport brings him joy...

[spanishxmasmusic]

Walz and Kamala are such a joy to watch. I think asking Vance what makes him smile was a gimme as an answer to waht we've seen from Harris and Walz. Missed opportunity by Vance.

[joebriggs]

That was a dumb misread by JD....that reporter was literally giving him a softball to make himself relatable. I don't really understand what is strategy is.

[blake]

This is the Trump/Vance brand in a nutshell. Shamelessly abrasive and antagonistic at every opportunity. Can't simply maneuver around the awkward question, must call it bogus and inadvertently present the real answer, which is "nothing. Nothing makes me smile, I'm just here to do and say anything in order to win."

What a different tone than the Harris/Walz campaign. People are happy and energized again, it’s a wonderful breath of fresh air!! 💙

Peter Thiel must be unhappy with his purchase

When people are voting for you, they are inviting you into their living room for the next 4 years. You have to be pleasant on some basic level, man.

[SeanMacadelic]

Major “what do you admire about your opponent” vibes. One of the reasons people didn’t like Hillary…
Glad Harris/Walz are displaying humanity.

Does anyone know? Does JD Vance get into group play?
I mean, does he do sectionals?
