    He wasnt vetted. He was the cost for Peter Theils support. This is what happens when every descision is transactional.

      I figured it had to be something. Hell, even just with the weird shit in Vance’s book, it should have been a no brainer.

      Or would he be a weirdo that would distract from trump’s weirdness enough. When they lose Vance will be kicked to the curb and forgotten by everyone.

    I wonder whether anything about him will move the needle much. A third will not care about anything and the “undecided” cannot tell the difference between a christian fascist party and a moderate right wing party.

      Elections are won at the margins. Even if you convince just a tiny % each time he does something horrible, it can add up. Regardless of minds being changed, it can still affect likelihood of people showing up at the polls


      As an aside, I highly recommend volunteering for the campaign. You’ll quickly discover that undecideds do indeed exist and some can be certainly be convinced. Quite often they are more low-information voters and unaware of much of republican’s horrific plan

      Nah, there’s an endless supply of bootlickers who will subject themselves to any indignity just for a tiny spot in the limelight.
