We will lose unless we play smarter

Vance has been a negative anyway you slice it

Trump should switch to vivek or tulsi to ensure a win

You have to attract the middle in a GE

And play smarter knowing the media bias

We have lost momentum with Vance in a weeks time.

They're irrelevant and non-responsive to the point unless he was faced with a decision on direct military intervention.

That came up once. He was lucky to not have to be in that position often during his 4 years. But when he had to make a decision, he chose unnecessary intervention.

The media would definitely stop talking bad about Trump, his VP, and conservatives. This would ensure their fair treatment..

Only ones bitching about JD is a few bitter never Trumpers cause they have nothing left to bitch about.


One of the ones is Dave Portnoy who has endorsed Trump and is a major influencer like it or not.

Attributing momentum loss to Vance instead of discarding the anchor that was Biden is just ridiculous

If our people would stop whining about Vance being too hard on the cat ladies and stop fretting about polls, the race will settle in a couple of weeks and they'll probably feel fine about it.

As it stands we're just feeding into the talking point the Dems need - that Kamala somehow changes the race because she's a hero to suburban women. Dumb as it is, us repeating the messaging on Kamala and the messaging on Vance being bad for women could help will the trend into being. So stop.

Again, the key word is balance.

We have to make real tangible stuff in order to support the service based economy that you apparently adore so much.

Is he going to pull his endorsement because of Vance? Doubt it.

Does ending the Afghanistan war where Biden fricked up the withdrawal count?

Maybe. Maybe not.


It certainly might stop him from using his platform to pumping his followers up to go to the polls.

Advancing economy > stagnant economy

People have to shift with the changing economy or they'll be driving horse and buggy carriages in the era of the automobile.

We are the #2 manufacturer in the world, and the per capita value of our manufacturing output is very high. No country has that combination.

What decision on direct military intervention did he have to make?

I think our pullout would have been better under Trump, but, again, that's a completely different subject area itself.

You’re going to be called a cuck and told that anyone offended by his comments wasn’t going to vote for Trump in the first place.

I agree that the VP should somewhat offset Trump’s brash nature. Youngkin would have been a better pick.

We were number 1.

IMO we should protect our steel, aluminum, pharmaceutical, and medical industries. We probably want to tariff Taiwanese microchips as a hedge against a war between Taiwan and China (to make American made microchips viable).

You can free trade Mardi Gras beads all you want. I don't give a shite about plastic dildos and Mardi Gras cups. But there are industries that are of vital national security and they should be protected using tariffs and other measures.

To withdraw.

He campaigned on this issue and did it.

Most people are too scared to stand up. They don't want to lose their careers, which would happen if they stood up.

Makes more sense than subsidizing their production here to the tune of billions of dollars.

China has over 3x the population.

India is going to surpass us one day in total manufacturing, too.

Means nothing other than they have much larger populations than we do.
