Vance is in way over his head. He's in for a short career. AMERICA STAY VIGILANT and VOTE BLUE for American DEMOCRACY and freedom. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

What "gratitude" has Trump ever shown for Anything...

[jeanneschultz]

JD VANCE IS DISGUSTUNG. WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM.

[MrBennyrick]

WOW, JD VANCE is TERRIBLE at public speaking! lol. He clearly has not clue about saying things other than "thankyou" on stage. Harris will destroy him

[cocacolablood]

Vance was supposed to give a speech, he gave an enema instead.

[marchathomas]

If that's all he's got....he's really not ready for prime time.

[cocacolablood]

An elephant no longer befits the GOP as a logo. It needs a more accurate symbol, like a colostomy bag.

[YesJustice]

✌✌ALL i am saying is, Trump is too old, very incoherent and feeble-minded and should step aside 💯💯💯..

[soldierofpeace]

Who is JD Vance the man who sold himself and his believes ?!

[thefanofnone]

Vance has the charisma of wet cardboard...

[DrNW]

Rich coming from someone who is constantly saying this country is a $hithole. More republican gaslighting

[LovedByYou]

No one is threatened by JD Vance. He talks like a robot.

[lisathompson]

Kamala will wipe the floor with both Vance and Trump.😅😅😅😅

[izgvvob]

So "what gratitude" has JD or Trump ever expressed for the country? All we ever hear from the nepo-baby is his whiney complaints of always being the billionaire victim.

[leahsalby]

So Vance is doing the dirty work now. Vomiting…

[PhoenixPrime]

Never even heard of JD Vance up until it was announced that he was Trump’s running mate. And the things that I _have_ heard about him since that point have been nothing good. He also comes off as nothing more than a lackey to me, just eager to get in the spotlight with a fellow conservative.

[toohip]

I am Pro Choice, therefore I choose Kamala. Kamala is the ONLY Choice.

''tRUMP is one of America's most hated, villainous, douchey celebs.''

J.D. Vance

✳All the Mexico border work by Harris' team ramped up to a great *border bill* introduced earlier this year. It was tough and useful.
The GOP voted against that border bill as a PR stunt, not because the bill wasn't good.
The GOP didn't want to relinquish their precious "illegals! illegals!" talking points.
They put party over country.

Vance’s integrity is obviously compromised. Did he have one in the first place?
