[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vance isn't Trump.  I think Vance actually believes his "America first" ideas.  Trump doesn't believe in anything.

Trump cobbled together enough support to win the election using humor, vaguely promising he was an anti-war option, and letting people believe he supported whatever was their number 1 issue.

Plus Trump won against an inadequate candidate with limited time to prepare because the people around Biden committed elder abuse and let a man with advanced cancer and cognitive decline try ro run again.  All against a backdrop of democrats becomimg insanely unpopular since covid overreach.

That won't line up like that for Vance. [/quote]

While I agree with your middle paragraph discounting the opposition candidate is what got us into this mess in the first place.  I saw a pretty impressive Vance in the VP debate and his family is lovely and multi cultural.  Accusing him of being racist is just not the play here.  Sorry.  [/quote]

Vance is very impressive and more importantly, look at the entire thread.

There is no one being put forward as a democratic candidate here who stands a chance.

Gavin? The land of trans girls taking the podium in state sport championships and high taxes? AOC? None of these are happening.[/quote]

I bet you thought Trump would win in 2020 and you thought Mondale would win in 1984 and you thought Pence and Harris would excel in their post VP careers.... by 2028, Vance will be as popular as Pence was in 2020 and Harris was in 2024. If you don't understand this very simple logic based on historical facts, just stop embarrassing yourself.[/quote]

Mondale is before my time so no.

We will just have to wait and see but given the pathetic offerings by the Dem party as candidates, and the GOP’s current polling, I am not concerned.

You should be. [/quote]

The Dems won with a pathetic candidate in 2020. The GOP won with a pathetic candidate in 2024. This isn't some complicated political science formula only an Einstein could figure out. This is an obvious and very explainable trend a 3rd grader can figure out.

The swing voters who determine national elections are attracted to "change" from status quo when there is historically unpopular leadership in The White House as we've had since 2017. The GOP will not be able to deliver that "change" in 2028. This will all start to make sense to you eventually as American sentiment continues to sour on Trump during his second term (just as it did his first term and just as it did during Biden's term).[/quote]
