It's absolutely terrifying to think of Vance as president, I could not agree more, but on the flip side: I'd be even more scared of a more palatable VP, or one who's extremist but "fake normie" like Mike Johnson. If Nikki Haley had been VP, you might have had a lot of less crazy types vote for Trump figuring they were really voting for her. As it is, it's an all crank ticket. I think Haley voters are more likely to stay home or vote Biden now. But we'll see.

It's going to come down to Republican women...

@DemocracyMattersALot @MaryAustinBooks It's going to come down to literally everyone, like last time - from bernie bros to never-trump republicans

Certainly true, although I think there's also reason to emphasize white women due to the sheer numbers and the reproductive rights issues. Every time reproductive rights are on the ballot, Dems win.

I wish all white women would be equally motivated by the racism and homophobia, but at the end of the day a win is a win and we can work on literally everything else after securing our democracy.

Agree with this. Don't think this ticket will age well.

@DemocracyMattersALot chief job requirement: excellent gaslighting skills. Because tax cuts for the rich have always given hillbillies a leg up.

@DemocracyMattersALot 'In a podcast interview, Vance said that Trump should “fire every single mid-level bureaucrat” in the US government and “replace them with our people.” If the courts attempt to stop this, Vance says, Trump should simply ignore the law.'

maybe the media will cover the "all important" age issue on the Presidential ticket:

this year Kamala Harris is sixty years old; Vance is currently in his thirties 🙄
