Everyone gets a shot to speak. My spin is that the NARRATIVE in all the Democratic Ads, were NOTHING about what they planned to do, but a constant attack about THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS, we can’t allow them to be rulers. They waged a class warfare turning successful wealthy people against the poor, making it look like the rich are not paying their fair share.

He's 100% correct.

And unlike cabinet members, he doesn't work for the President. The VP is elected to his own office, and if he wants to have a political future he probably knows he has to distance himself from this heaping pile of sh!t in a big way.

They might as well have used “Peace! Land! Bread!” as their slogan.

seems like J.D. is perfectly happy to see Iran blow up the world by starting a nuclear WWIII and or hold the world’s oil supply hostage and bully ALL of their neighbors into submission IF/WHEN they obtain nuclear weapons ...

J.D. seems to be turning into another Pence, unless he was one all along ...

Vance is wasting no time in his campaign for 2028. I thought he might wait a while before completely disassociating himself from Trump. But I guess not.

Trump did start a war

He lost my support for this conflict on the 3rd go around. finish what you start and damn the politics.

Trump failed to do either.

May God help us all now.....

He’s not distancing himself from Trump, I read what he had to say and he was NOT wrong, he didnt blame Trump for anything, in fact Trump last night also blamed the war for the loss..the war started off good but the second they stopped bombing the lil f*ckers that was it

as was the case in Afghanistan and Iraq- in those cases trying to win “hearts and minds” rather than destroy the enemy....

I think Bibi had a lot to do with this and probably told President Trump “we can get it done in six weeks,” which is why that relationship has gone downhill...

When is a “religion” also a terrorist enterprise? Just look at islam. They should not get 1A protection by claiming to be a ‘religion”. Any criminal could claim their crime is their “religion” too.

Imagine if you applied his strategy in parenting. You would basically lose all respect for your parents.

The GOP lost in large part because it looked incompetent. A lot of people looked at the Trump continually saying the Iran War was near an end when it clearly wasn’t, the fights in the streets with ICE, the administration social media accounts posting AI slop at all hours of the night, the president talking about people’s asses, and Senate candidates who could not answer basic questions and saw the whole thing as a clown show.

Enough with the grifters, podcast bros, scammers, meme wars, and so forth. The GOP needs to be a party that people can take seriously. It needs to be more focused on getting things done, not on owning the libs.
