We are waiting for Saturday when Biden will fake assassination attempt just to cancel out the new voters trump just secured.

Some people want us to believe that indictment can make Trump more popular with voters but not an attempt by a lib to assassinate him. Trump 2024. I wish I could vote.

---Can someone please post a link to one single piece of legislation bearing Senator Vance's "mark"?---

LordAdam16:
You're making my point for me.
If you're going to eat a frog, eat a big one.
If you're going to cheat, best be with a model.

It's politics. I get it. Everyone is in it to win.
So why not Haley?
Haley is a slam dunk. Whatever the argument is about the viability of Vance, Haley is a far more logical pick.

You can't use Neocon as a negative epithet when Vance is a Yale Venture Capitalist.

-Lord

LordAdam16:
You should look up the result sheet of his Senate election.
He won by 6 points. In solid-red, double-digit Ohio.
Anywhere else in the Midwest and he'd have lost.
He had to win that by 12+ points to create the impression that he has independent star power or favorability in the Rust Belt.
That's not what happened. He ain't hitting a home run in Michigan and Wisconsin.
This forced Rust Belt connection is tenuous at best.

The hype about Hillbilly Elegy was feverish at the time he was calling Trump Hitler and a rapist.
Pence is yet to vilify Trump to the same degree that Vance has done in the past.
I will not defend a redneck Obrigardo who changed his tone the minute it became politically expedient.
You can appoint turncoats to agencies, you don't anoint them as Heir Apparent.
How can you skip over day one loyalists like Carson and Sanders for a Peter-Thiel-Yale groupie.

That's why I said he may well have picked Nikki.
Because Haley has more electoral value in her pinky finger than Vance has in his entire constitution.
If winning is the primary consideration, you don't skip Nikki, Tulsi, Stefanik, and Rubio for Vance.

I don't buy that Vance is a changed person. I think he is an opportunist.
And if he can change his mind about Trump being Hitler, he sure as hell can change it right back when it suits him.
No different from the Mattis, Pompeo, Barr, and all the back-stabbing, smooth-talking, grimy a*holes before him.

And let's not pretend that a ticket with two white males is not tone-deaf.
It may help a little that his wife is Asian. But the VP had to be a minority and/or female.
Vance is Oz 2.0. And if Biden hadn't folded like a cheap suit during the debate and July 13 hadn't happened; this pick would have been tantamount to self-sabotage.

Lastly, something needs to be done about the Republican Party in the Midwest.
It's so hollow.

Elon the "Billionaire Nut-Job". Can't believe I used to think he was intelligent. Nothing much farther from the truth.

LordIsaac:
I had thought he would pick Ben Carson...

Wotowotoman:
How so? Did you know Vance before this news broke? 🤔

raskymonojendor:
Good choice. We will see how the election goes. I still prefer DeSantis to trump and alot of Republican will still be voting against Trump for that reason

MasterJayJay:
It's pathetic that two parties chose to present 2 candidates that are unfit to be in that seat.

Biden has memory loss issues but his team can actually manage that. Institutions in America can still work very well despite his memory loss issues.

Trump is chaos. He will turn the institutions upside down.

Mintum:
JD Vance is a good choice, better than burgum and less of an establishment politician than Rubio. However my preferred VP choice was Dr Ben Carson followed by Vivek Ramaswamy. Any way, congrats to JD Vance the incoming vice President of the United States of America.

bemeruca:
We will have a coon, uncle tom for VP.

We have the first black president and his black coon VP JD Vance!!

bnanny:
Hey Musk be logical You're Maga boy. You should you know this was stage by trump maga camp to swing the winning to trump.

People alerted the police and secrets service about guy on black with raffle on the rooftop but they never care to react, this is not how America securities work. It's fishing this is stage to swing votes to Trump. Let him explain what happened for real and let all those involved face justice of America no-nonsense system.

LordBiden:
Lol

Some of u nairaland clowns think trump is Gods candidate while biden and democrats are the devil's candidate.

Many don't even know that biden is a staunch Roman Catholic.

LordAdam16:
You might need to recheck your source.

https://www.vote411.org/node/12165

It's easy to make the semantic mistake.
Open is when anyone can vote in the primary.
Closed is when potential voters have to be registered members of the party conducting the primary.

-Lord

LordAdam16:
He is a troll.
He locks in on a st*pid tangent. When you shred that, he segues into something else.
You'll go round in circles, glance at the time and recognize you've wasted hours you'd never get back.

Then you have to stop conversing so he has the last word where he repeats the exact same falsehoods you'd eviscerated earlier.

-Lord

raumdeuter:
In many primaries Democrats have routinely interfered to boost perceived extreme candidates in Republican primaries so that can be easily beaten in general elections

They did for Bolduc in New Hampshire where he lost, they did for Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania where he ended losing the main elections to Shapiro. It's a tested strategy the Dems have used.

raumdeuter:
Your understanding is always shocking and betrays the education you claim

You are easily the dumbest and most despicable poster on this thread

LordAdam16:
This.

Pennsylvania is a closed primary state.

157,000 voted for Haley, many of whom were democrats who registered as Republicans to be able to vote Haley.

-Lord

raumdeuter:
It depends on whether a state is open or closed primary

We have always known Democrats who register as Republicans to vote in Republican primaries to try and get an easier opponents

It was common for many Democrats, A lot of "Haley voters" were actual Democrats who didnt want Trump

bemeruca:
that was not campaigning, that was showing resilience, I am still standing even as they put a bullet through me. what you saw was a historical moment, a show of leadership.

bemeruca:
50 Cent is performing many men for Trump.

givedemwotowoto:
Trump himself has been donating to both democrats and republicans before running for office

People donate to whoever they want all the time.

The boy registered as a Republican shortly after graduating from high school 2 years ago

givedemwotowoto:
I heard he was a registered Republican too

Taking a shot at a presidential candidate? Why should someone capable of this be able to own a gun?

Hopefully they find his motivation

Roboto11:
Just another Republican.

LordAdam16:
I was curious about the Oz-vote allegation. Where did she get that tidbit from?

-Lord

wirinet:
Even though I doubted the assassination when the news first broke, I rushed to make my doubts known. I don't Trust anything coming from Trump. With more information coming out, I then lean toward believing it was an actual assassination attempt. I recant my initial stance and admitted my error. But there is now the nagging question of fatal failures on the part of the Police and secret service. Why did the US security services fail so woefully? Was in deliberate or a failure. In todays America, is it so easy to shoot a presidential candidate or any other high profile politician?
We await the full investigations.

I have hated Trump since the 1990s. I was introduced to Trump around 1995 by a very good friend. Even then my friend idolised Donald Trump. He gave me his book "the art of the deal" to read. I disagreed with his business philosophy. I followed him from that time till he ran for president. I even followed his then wife, late Ivanna Trump. She said some bad things about Trump and their marriage.
Trump personality, morals and philosophies are opposite to mine.

About hating Republicans, I was a fan of Ronald Reagan. I believe he espoused republican values than any republican alive today including Trump.

jaxxy:
pro family maybe but others are debatable. Bush was a disaster.

Bill Clinton boosted the American economy and business. sensible immigration policies by democratic then also helped.

ebexofficial:
Who called this shot?
Perhaps Trump is seeking emotional support.
My sincere condolences to the families that lost loved ones and were injured

jaxxy:
Not exactly. The Conservative Republicans are not good either depends on many other factors at play with the principles of the candidate.

Right from Bill Clinton and b4 the Democrats had better presidents and policies up until Obama.

basilico:
Media downplay assassination attempt.
Horrible people.they are. Imagine the millions of ignoramuses who rely on these media propagandists.

bemeruca:
Democracy is on the line. When someone who dey don't like is challenging them all the conspiracy theories and lies will start to surface.

Its crazy. I don't know what's going through people's mind
