They will not like it if he fires Vance. Trump needs their $$.

Also Trump looks like a loser if he suddenly dumps him in less than a month of launching him.

What a mess.

Didn't I read somewhere that Peter Thiel has since moved on from Vance?

yeah but then he came back

Shrug. Most people don't know or care who Peter Thiel is. And Elon Musk is mostly known for Teslas and destroying Twitter. I get that Trump wants their money, but I'm sure, conman that he is, he could find a way to convince them that dropping Vance was in their best interest.

Trump doesn't convince anyone of anything. Aside from being a bad negotiator, you seem to be misunderstanding the way the donor relationship works. They tell him what to do.

I have to wonder if all the disdain here for Vance is actually resentment towards his personal success story. He has achieved so much — attended an Ivy League school , published a best selling book and now running for VP.

It takes away from the victim hood snowflake narrative that appeals to those who would vote for Harris. They don’t like examples of self made men.

He convinced a bunch of angry, disaffected non-voters in 2016 to come out and vote for him. He's a snake oil salesman.

You think I object to his plan for preventing me from crossing state lines to get necessary health care is about jealousy?

Uh, okay. Sure.

Nah, he's earned his disdain by calling Harris a childless cat lady, suggesting that childless women have no stake in the country, that childless people are sociopaths, they should be taxed at a higher rate, etc. These are pretty bizarre views.

Vance is the biggest snowflake victim ever who made up his fake Appalachia story to sell a book and run for office.

I mean...no, not at all. You can stop wondering.

He's a sweaty creeper, PP. Nobody is jealous of him, or of his poor couch.

Don't count out Governor DeSantis. Per earlier post, folks will soon learn he's gone back to pronouncing his last name as DeeSantis. (He only used the short-e version (i.e., 'Dih-Santis') to appease liberals, and they didn't reciprocate.) He's staying with same spelling, just pronouncing with with a long-e: DeeSantis. There's a lot of enthusiasm inside the camp for this move.

So the problem with DeSantis is a short 'e' in his name, and not that he comes off as a profoundly weird dude?

Enough with the attacks on Gov. DeSantis. Not long ago, people were routinely using inappropriate terms like dickweed, douchebag, and human repellent to describe him, while failing to offer any substantive policy critiques. It's disappointing to see this kind of behavior still exists. Let's be better.

No. Not really. Lots of honorable Dem politicians you love to mock and name call. Tired of always going high.

From what I've read and gleaned, these are some of the reasons:

1) Vance has proven his loyalty.

"Donald Trump Jr. instead fashioned himself as a MAGA enforcer who would seek a “veto” over any administration appointments that he views as being at odds with his father’s agenda. 'I just want to make sure those snakes and the liars don’t get those positions of power,' said the younger Mr. Trump, who has always made clear that his father is the star of the Republican show

2) The sons, especially Don Jr., see Vance as the future of the MAGA party (note I said MAGA and not GOP).

"The combination of his [Don Jr.'s] aggressive public media presence policing MAGA loyalty and his private push for Mr. Vance reveals the remarkable degree to which the younger Mr. Trump is looking to mold the Republican Party far beyond a potential second Trump term. 'My biggest role is just making sure that we have an America First, a MAGA bench for the future,” the younger Mr. Trump said in the interview. “So that after my father’s second term it doesn’t revert back to the neocon warmongering that we’ve seen from the Republican Party, that it doesn’t go back to forgetting about working-class Americans.'"

3) They are friendly with each other.

"Soon after Mr. Vance got the call from the former president that he would be on the ticket, one of the first outbound calls he made was to the younger Mr. Trump to thank him for his help."

Theory: Peter Thiel paid to put Vance on the ticket. Trump won't dump him because he'd have to repay Thiel.
