This doesn’t seem to land

I think that you’re hoping it doesn’t land. Vance’s VP candidacy has been nothing but weirdness since the announcement.

Exactly. There is nothing about this guy that doesn't come off as creepy.

There's a lot of weird going on in politics in general.

That said, it's definitely weird that someone would think that Republicans would be fazed at being called creepy by the party that ran Joe Biden as their candidate. "Creepy Joe" was literally one of their nicknames for him.

And projection is core to the GOP playbooks, so...

Honestly, I think they had a point on that one.

I think it’s actually likely to fall a little flat. This is red meat for the already-committed Democrat voters, but that’s not who the Democrats need to reach.

The same is true in reverse for other messaging from the Republicans, but that’s not the subject of this thread.

Polling disagrees with you.

Polling is notoriously bad at capturing swing state voters.

It's a strange choice, to just ignore the crying kid, and then post it on your social.

Per ABC News/IPSOS poll, JD's favorability rating, which was -6 coming out of the convention, is now -15. But I'm sure that's bad polling, and he's being well received by the general public.

He is indeed unpopular. But this is a presidential election.

This actually feels like the most relatable normal human thing a Trump has ever done

Really? I had a hard time watching it because I was like ‘Why can’t she take a minute to get her kid to stop crying?’ I wanted to ask the baby what was wrong, and I’m not a particularly maternal person.

Of an obese 78 year old guy who doesn’t exercise and lives on steak and Big Macs. Even if you want Trump, actuary tables give Vance a decent chance of having to step up at some point. Given Trumps age and health, his VP picks competence is very important.

But weird is good, right? We’ve been pre-programmed to respect and recognise outliers and weird creeps for so many years that now weird have a positive connotation.

No, "nerds" and "geeks" have come to have positive connotations. "Weird" is still the kid who always says something awkward/inappropriate and doesn't know how to behave appropriately in social settings.
