Vance is not stupid but being good at writing prose does not necessarily translate into being a good rhetorician and good at politicking. Walz has shown to be pretty devastating with his charm and wit.
Harris when she sticks to script has been great at her rallies and speeches.
If Trump goes off topic as he usually does calling her 'Camilla', 'Kamabla' and talking about race and DEI he is going to sink himself with a great majority of the nation.
Bob Fosse
Is JD going to dress up for the event?
I hope he addresses the diet Mountain Dew issue again, that’s a campaign winner.
bass4funk
But here is the thing, whether you are a good orator or not, if you have a historically bad record and have done questionable things, all the talk and poise won't hide what happened, and Walz has a lot of contradictions and a lot of questions he needs to answer for.
the same applies to her even more so.
Not the majority, but a good portion, yeah, I will concede to that.
John
JV Prance can road test his “post-menopausal grandmothers” line.
I’m sure that’ll win suburban women over.
Bob Fosse
Harris and Walz are addressing real issues. Not whining about crowd sizes and popularity.
Nobody wants a ‘rock star’.
bass4funk
Good, they both can talk about the economy they screwed up, particularly Harris, and Walz can talk about his aggressive lockdown Stazi-style tactics he used during the Covid lockdowns to keep people obedient and compliment
That will be irrelevant.
But we do.
Bob Fosse
But you don’t :
“I really could care less what the world thinks. I leave the caring part to liberals, they care about status and being liked and loved, that was the last president, a rock star. If I want a rock star I can go down to Hiollywood, there are thousands of them roaming the blvd.”
Post history, gotta love it.

First question that needs to be asked;
Senator Vance, your running mate has expressed his support and belief in the "Great Replacement Theory" which holds that immigrants and people of brown heritage are "poisoning the blood of our country", and eliminating white culture and Christian religion. Your wife is the daughter of brown immigrants and is Hindu and doesn't believe in Christ or a Christian God. What would you say to your running mate and others who see you as being complicit in this poisoning of White America?
Second question;
You have compared your running mate to "Hitler", that you "never liked him". "can't stomach him", and that "he is unfit for our highest office". What was your thinking and rationale at the time when making those comments? What specific remarks, actions, or policies were you referring to when making these criticisms of Mr Trump?
Third question;
Your evangelical supporters believe in the sanctity of life and that life begins at conception - no exceptions and no compromise. However, your running mate has changed his position on this core voting issue and now says he could support abortions through the 15th week. Do you believe life begins at conception and is any abortion after conception “murdering children”?
Fourth question:
It’s been reported that Egypt President Al-Sisi gave the Trump campaign in 2016 $10 million, and that it was transferred via a Egyption intelligence operator in small bills in duffel bags. After Trump became President, he approved a $1 billion defense package for Egypt that had been on hold. Given this could be two potential violations of federal law, do you believe this allegation is concerning and should it be investigated further? Do you know if the Trump campaign received this money and if so, why didn’t they report it? Do you know if it was an illegal bribe and quid-pro-quo for the defense aid package being released?
Fifth question;
Did you and your family take the COVID vaccine and have you had any boosters?
bass4funk
We do.
Yup, and now we have one, but this one is worth every penny. Kinda like watching the thousands of Swifties where you have thousands of generic Hollywood bubblegum, head-spinning collective zombies which is what I was referring to (Harris) OR you can have a real star of substance or quality like Pink Floyd that commands not just an audience, but style, poise and serious and talented musicianship. (Trump)
I agree.
Bob Fosse
Another flip. Weird.
wallace
Trump is sulking they picked the wrong VP for him.
bass4funk
No, you just need to focus more.
I think the left is sulking that Trumped picked the wrong VP for their liking. Schumer pleading with Trump to dump JD as if he is so deeply concerned about the Republican ticket, you just can't make this stuff up.
lincolnman
Oh boy, this won't go over well at MAL....
"JD Vance, no fan of gender-neutral bathrooms, was photographed in his high school yearbook next to three girls posing in front of urinals in a bathroom during his senior year."
"The photo, unearthed by the Daily Mail, shows an 18-year-old JD Hamel, as he was known at the time, standing next to the three girls, who were facing the urinals. The picture was captured in the 2003 Middletown High School yearbook."
https://www.yahoo.com/news/unearthed-photo-shows-teen-jd-171718811.html
I'd give JD another week before Trump calls up Marco Rubio...
Bob Fosse
Polls still rising. Maga flopping like an octopus. Beware!
bass4funk
Hardly, but at least we can look forward to the debates and if Harris tries to slither out of it, we have the video archives, a dozen or so where she contradicts herself on every single policy position that she seems to do a 180 on.
bass4funk
If the Dems want to run with that, then you know they are doomed like old Valyria
That won't happen.
lincolnman
Wow, how much more embarrassment and humiliation can JD take...or more importantly can Trump take...
Keep trying to convince yourself of that...
bass4funk
More than what the left has been dishing out.
I think it's the other way around. Lol
John
Apart from not being formally nominated, lil Marco doesn’t look as fetching in makeup.
lincolnman
It ain't the left he needs to worry about - it's the guy he's embarrassing and humiliating at MAL...
Ditto...
ROFL...
Strangerland
JD Vance and his War on Women have a LOT of answering to do.
I'm looking forward to this debate. People seem to find Walz as likeable as they find Vance weird, which in both cases is 'extremely'.
Strangerland
It also turns out Vance used to run a ブラック企業 - the former workers there have nothing but garbage to say about him as an employer.
Harris worked at McDonalds.
Which one do you think understands the people better?
lincolnman
Let's see, JD Vance...
Was educated at that Liberal bastion Yale...
Was a globalist venture capitalist...
Compared Trump to Hitler and said he was unfit for office...
Dressed in drag....
Invaded a women's bathroom while in HS...
That's a lot of woke baggage...but there's one thing he hasn't done yet that would be even more embarrassing...
He hasn't contributed to Kamala Harris' past campaigns....that would be a huge MAGA betrayal...
"Former President Donald Trump donated not once but twice to re-elect Kamala Harris as the attorney general of California. California records show that Trump contributed $5,000 in September 2011 toward Harris' 2014 reelection campaign, and followed up with another $1,000 in February 2013. His daughter Ivanka Trump also donated to the campaign, contributing $2,000 in 2014."

ROFL...
bass4funk
Ok, so that is what the left got and holding onto? If so, they need to run under a rock as fast as they can.
Lol
I see, so before Trump got into politics and before Kamala helped destroy the Bay Area, I really hope Harris runs with this. When I was in the 11th grade, my parents had an 8mm film of me eating a Sloppy Joe.
bass4funk
Trump eats at McDonald's, which do you think understands the people better? Lol
lincolnman
One more question for JD at the debate...
"You previously sat on the board of AppHarvest, which before collapsing under the weight of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of debt, was touted as the new, tech-savvy era of farming in Eastern Kentucky. Last year, the firm filed for bankruptcy after years of pursuing aggressive growth, in part by prioritizing illegal migrant workers from Central America instead of employing American workers from these impoverished local Kentucky communities. Why did this company on whose board you sat on and gave direction go bankrupt, and why with your consent did it use illegal immigrant labor?"
John
I like the part where JV Prance tells women to “worry about the “important things “ and then proceeds to define, for women, what’s important for them.
Smooth, whatever your name is this week…
bass4funk
Oh, I think they deeply need to worry
The woman that can't get the police in the country to back her, that's bad.
A prayer for her.
Strangerland
Actually, our bigger focus is on pointing out his War on Women, and how weird he is.
Would you sit on a couch after Vance owned it?
John
Um, the one who’s actually worked for a living?
AKA “not Trump”.
Strangerland
Because you can understand the plight of the worker based only on sending out someone else to purchase their services, right? That keeps you in touch with the worker, right?
Strangerland
Trump acknowledged he's entitled in his ramble today.
Bob Fosse
Sounds like a solid argument. Run with that!
Strangerland
The neutral media are reporting Vance as the worst VP pick ever, in the middle of the worst presidential campaign ever run.
The Republicans are so screwed in November.
Bob Fosse
Vance’s press team should release a photo of him eating a sloppy joe. It might distract from the photos of him in drag, hanging out in a girl’s restroom or passed out drunk on the floor.
lincolnman
I think they could care less about your opinion...
You flip on EVs yet? You "like" them now?
Prayer? You still believe life begins at conception?
lincolnman
Holy cow - when it rains down on poor JD, it pours...
"A photo posted ahead of a campaign event for Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance in Pennsylvania accidentally highlighted shrinking inflation achieved under the administration of Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden. Before attending Vance's campaign event, Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) shared a photo taken on the plane with the Republican vice presidential candidate."
The image included a **Wall Street Journal newspaper which had the front page headline "Inflation Hits Lowest Level Since 2021."**

Thank you JD for your praise and support to Harris-Walz...
Maybe like your running mate has done, we can expect a monetary contribution....
ROFL..
ArtistAtLarge
It won't even be a contest. JD is out of his league by miles. He will lose and lose badly. But MAGAts will continue to insist chocolate rations are up by 20%! (1984 ref for those who do not recognize the saying)
bass4funk
Yeah, Uhh...Kamala worked, worked very hard. Lol
The man has an empire and he didn't work? You guys live in these strange alternate universes that make Dr. Strange's multiverse look sane.
bass4funk
Not when it comes to the voters
https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/eu-electric-car-sales-drop-may-german-demand-slumps-industry-says-2024-06-20/
No, never hated them, I just know it's going to be a bellyflop, but if they want to run with it, fine by me. People should have choices and not be forced into something that is not long long-lasting and EV at the current present time is not one of the energy sources we can fully rely on
Prayer for Kamala
bass4funk
People won't care either way, that's a Dem soggy nugget/ ROFL!!
Or will Kamala rip that off as well and get a generated AI pic and claim she went through this?
