So for the media to be equating Vance to Palin, he must be a good choice.

Vance is one of the least popular vice-presidential picks this century.
It's important to make a good first impression — whether you're on a first date, interviewing for a job or running to be vice president of the United States. And the two men who recently joined the Republican and Democratic presidential tickets have made very different first impressions.
According to 538's new polling average of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's favorable and unfavorable ratings, the Democratic candidate for vice president has an unusual quality for a modern politician: He's well liked. As of Aug. 15 at 1 p.m. Eastern, 38 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of him, and 33 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him.
Democrats' initial branding of Walz — as a paternal former teacher, coach and National Guardsman — seems to have caught on, especially immediately after he was announced as Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate, when multiple polls found him with a double-digit positive net favorability rating (favorable rating minus unfavorable rating). Since then, his unfavorable rating has risen a bit faster than his favorable rating as Republicans have accused him of exaggerating his military service, but he still has a solid +5-point net favorability rating on average.
By contrast, Americans aren't vibing with the Republican vice-presidential nominee. On average, only 33 percent have a favorable opinion of Sen. JD Vance, while 42 percent have an unfavorable one.

So for the media to be equating Vance to Palin, he must be a good choice.
Legacy media is dead.
Sarah Palin was a big reason why I voted for her and McLame.
Vance has held his own against a hostile media.
Not saying Palin was not smart but Vance’s personal, academic, business and military records are impressive.
With the MSM.
I don’t remember Sarah Palin being unpopular. The communists hated her though, and they hold the media megaphone.
I liked Sarah.
I like Vance.
The media is telling me that I don’t like Vance.
But they lie.
Sarah had that look of innocence.
I’m still waiting to hear what she said when questioned rwhen vetted regarding our nuclear preparedness. She “hit it out of the park” in her answer supposedly. They Quayled her I guess. No staying power.
There was NOTHING wrong with Sarah Palin, but the communist “Media” trashed her every damn day, making her life hell..with Walz, he is anti Jew, anti Israel, he is basically a communist media’s dream come true, he hates America, your typical communist leach
And Horizontal is more unpopular than Pedo Pete. What’s yer point?
Only to the commie/fascist leftists who prefer gutless Rino Trump haters.
HOORAY JD Vance!
SO the guy who lies about his service and is a drunk driver is more popular? Interesting.
I thought the democrats wanted to ban gas, I have never seem the media gaslight so hard, this is on a whole new level.
Republicans are still using one of Sarah’s most iconic lines:
Drill, Baby, Drill
I miss her energy and enthusiasm.

People still listen to
A ll
B ull
C rap ?
WHY?
JD Vance is also more unpopular than Santa Claus.
I only voted for McCain because of Sarah Palin.
I think JD Vance is just fine, too, but I would vote for Trump no matter who he selected as a running mate.
