Will Trump drop Vance?

+1 Agreed. A very weak move if his first decision as Presidential candidate gets invalidated and overturned so quickly. I will laugh so hard if he has to reverse his VP choice in the next few weeks. What an epic fail.

And the MSM will cover for him and spin it as him changing course just like Dems did even though it’s completely different. I think the more we talk NOW about how weak he will look if he switches out Vance, the better.

Vance is here to stay.

And Democrats should WANT that.

He's the perfect punching bag, just like Sarah Palin.

It if happens, it would happen during the DNC in order to attract attention away from it or maybe just after. Vance will announce he is unable to continue on the ticket. Now, the reason will be tricky because he can't say he needs to focus on his family nor will he likely fall on his sword and say he is a distraction because he has his whole career ahead of him. Trump will say it is too bad because he was the best VP pick in the history of VP picks. Of course this won't happen unless Trump has someone else locked in to be VP. Carson may be the only person politically dumb enough to agree and he is only marginally better. Haley is the wildcard and could make the biggest difference.

But then the question is did Vance sign some sort of NDA, because he will then become a liability in the future.

Yes, I am just scenario-ing all this out in my head based on prior observations.

There’s a reason that the actual delegates are voting starting this week and not at the DNC. Several states ballot deadlines will have passed. By the DNC, it will be too late to pull Vance off the ballot in a couple of red states nd, oh yeah, OHIO. I don’t get how people are missing that 8/7, the Ohio ballot deadline, locks both parties in.

+1 And Ohio actually matters to Trump who needs it to win. We weren’t getting it anyway.

With Vance creeping people out, we might. If Sherrod Brown wins, which he likely will, the state will be in play... Trump REALLY needs Vance to stop acting so weird.

Or ... does he?

Maybe we can all agree that everything is going perfectly fine.

I think the Republican Party has the absolute right to make terrible decisions about the VP Candidate. Backing down would make them weak. You aren’t weak are you MAGA? You won’t listen to liberal elite mommies, right! (PLEASE keep Vance).

Sometimes, you just need a reality check outside your urban bubble. Try it. It might be enlightening.

DP. My friend, I live where I work. It's so rural that 1/3 the population here doesn't have electricity, and 1/2 doesn't have running water to their homes. You should see what it's like sometime. Open your eyes, get out of that weird echo chamber of your side.

What's the back story you aren't telling us?

What backstory? I'm a physician working remotely with an underserved population as a federal employee. I don't live anywhere near DC anymore, but I'm a fan of the site, and the fed employee discussions remain quite relevant.

There's not much more to it than that. Oh, and I'm about as far from urban as you can get. I drive 3 hours to get my Jeep serviced. It's a trip.

No, I think he’s already posturing for 2028. He’s still pretty young so he could jump in for the next presidential election. He just needs to keep his name out in the public outside of Florida.

But to answer the question in the title, there is no way Trump would drop Vance. Would make him look weak, like a pushover to the libs. He's going to carry this one to term.

So these people weren't served by the Rural Electrification Act of 1936?

Do they live there because they want to?

Is this an enclave of three houses with one without electricity to get these numbers?

Not to worry. Democrats will fix this. Yep.

I don't know why anyone here thinks he would drop Vance. Is this just some dreamy angle for liberals to fap to?

The dream for liberals is that Trump *cant* drop Vance and he continues to Sarah palin the election for Trump.

Well, they were forced here in the Long Walk by the American government when it refused to uphold its treaties. Thousands died on that march. Then they built a life here, and the land is sacred to them. Do you think that's funny, or something?

And no, the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 doesn't apply to tribal lands, so thanks for asking.

Florida hates him now. He has almost no chance in 2028.

I think what you say is nonsense, we're 90 years down the line from the Act I cited, and anyone who doesn't have electricity at this point is sabotaging themselves.

In short, I don't believe the story you are peddling here.

But back to Vance. If Trump discards him, almost anyone else would have the benefit of having been more thoroughly vetted, but they would come with the staleness he's already dragging in with him.
