JD Vance 'falls flat' | Is Trump regretting his VP pick? | Anthony Blair

“Maybe Vance was the candidate that was best suited to fight Biden. But the Republicans will have to change strategy to face Kamala.”

JD Vance isn’t “making waves” as his first speech “falls flat”, says The Sun US’s Anthony Blair.

Vance may think he is smart, but he ignores the sad destiny of the poor ambitious unprincipled people who got attracted to Trump, only to end up burned on the bottom of the insect zapper.

[hellpoint]

The timing of Biden stepping back was perfect.

[Livinglifewithlettyinavan]

JD Vance is a little man with a big ego and he is going to be trump’s little elf. He better not cross Trump or his future looks very bleak.

J D Vance = Elon Musk buying the White House

[tedbaxter]

Vance does not broaden the ticket, he’s Trump through and through. He is a Zero.

Of course Obamas holding off the nomination doesn’t indicate a divide in the party. It’s simply a well known media strategy for stringing out the endorsements to get maximum media coverage for the Harris campaign.

You guys are misreading Obama. It's not a matter of a split in the party, some senior figure has to remain putatively neutral, in the event a referee is needed at the convention. That looks more unlikely with each passing day but there is no need for him to rush to commit himself.

[ronmullard]

this guy is two faced....and has now proved he can be easily bought....

[Gnosticware]

That speech wasn't even good enough for cringe, he just looked and sounded like a little boy on a big stage

[mcbrite]

There is NO WAY Trump would rather face her than him... No chance at all... He had the win all but sure, now it's at least completely up in the air again, if not slightly favored for the dems....

[majuli]

Vance is just has a very off-putting, inauthentic personality. Add to that the fact that he is 100 % a creature of his rich sugar daddy, and the result is less than appealing.

[AZhangETH]

Genuinely think Harris might end up winning this. People have mistaken Bidens unpopularity for Trumps popularity.

[porecemusnox]

Vance is playing MAGA like a fiddle for personal gains - and yes, against Harris, he is an inferior pick. But that's just an opinion.

[mariateresamendez]

Vance is a loser all the way around and has played Trump well! 💪🤭 gone over like a lead balloon

[jeffnickel]

Seems JD is a dud. Guess some people aren't meant to lead

[johnnygreen]

I keep hearing Vance is a fierce intellect. I have yet to see any evidence of that.

[beandinner]

It wasn't Trump who picked him, it was billionaire Peter Thiel. Trump just said "alright". You really need to understand how politics in America works, we're starting to turn into that too.

[stevepipenger]

I don’t think Obama’s silence suggests any divide. I think he is respecting the fact that she’s not the nominee yet.

[LFAH]

Vance came across as dull and dim-witted in that speech.

The problem with Vance is he's not a Suella Braverman, Priti Patel, or Kemi Badenoch who can disassociate themselves from what they say or say outrageous things they may not believe because they come out of the Oxbridge debating society where you're taught to detach personal emotion/feelings from making an argument. The problem with Vance is he can't sell saying stuff you can tell he doesn't believe lol
