The media went on full attack on Palin because she was pretty, smart, and a women; they couldn't allow that to stand in an election. IMHO Palin was the only good thing in that idiot McCain's presidential run.

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

Vilifying J D Vance is an attempt to take him out of contention before the 2028 Presidential election.

So are they going to burn Vance’s church after the election with women and children trapped inside as they did in 2008.

Sarah Palin wasn’t unpopular.

Sarah Palin was in over her head on day one, the campaign didn't help her. That was a disaster. I supported them and later when she was running. I was ultimately disappointed when she continued her campaign until some paid videos were released, then quit. She could never undo that damage of her run with McCain, even failed later to win state office.

Compared to Vance, Palin is more unpopular and not as prepared or ready for office, either as vice president or president. Vance is a winner, our winner.

I was voting for Palin, not McCain, when I voted for that ticket. Had McCain picked Joe Lieberman, his first choice, as his running mate, I would have gone fishing on Election Day.

She was not pretty or smart. She could not even win a Congressional seat after her stupidity was exposed.

By contrast JD is a Yale Law grad who worked himself up from poverty and can put together a coherent paragraph.

JD has been relentlessly attacked by MSM because they view him as a significant threat to assume leadership of the MAGA movement whether Trump wins or loses. Plus they hate the idea that the American dream is alive and true (which runs completely contrary to their socialist ideals).

ABC is nothing more than a propaganda operation. Every news report on the 00 or 30, contains a propaganda piece about how the economy is improving, Trump makes claim “without evidence”, Kamela is sweeping, etc. I used to think the local ABC affiliate were blameless, but I saw a local puff piece on the “Democrat Socialists of America”.

Even the local ABC outlet is a democrat propaganda outlet!

OoOoOoOoOoOoOohhhhh!!!

Polls.

How cute.

JD Vance is my favorite of the four people running for executive office this year.

I’m not surprised, the media are experts at manipulating public opinion.

This isn’t surprising he was a relatively unknown first term senator. The more he’s out there the more popular he will be. Unlike Palin he can speak off the cuff and articulate his point of view. Walz on the other hand has stolen valor and tampon tim claims that just came to light since he was just nominated

“Democrats’ initial branding of Walz...seems to have caught on”

Seems to have caught on? Couldn’t have anything to do with the non-stop North Korea-level, love-fest propaganda coming out of the media, could it? Sure, the Democrat’s message just “caught on.” The media is running the Harris-Walz campaign for them, and Trump and Vance and everyone on our side needs to start calling them out for this constantly, so more people notice the manipulation.

Yes, Palin was unpopular with the swing voters that decided the 2008 election.

But the reason for that was the MSM making up stuff about her and amplifying any errors she made far beyond what was reasonable.

Why did they do that?

Because McCain was dull as dishwater until Palin came around. They knew the Palin pick would motivate Republicans.

So to beat that, they had to convince the SNL watchers and lesser informed swing voters that she was so terrible that it would be dangerous to put her “a heart beat away from the Presidency”.

And it worked.

Now, while Vance was not my first pick, they are playing a similar game with him. This time because Trump was ahead. They are literally making up stuff about him having sex with couches and reposting high school yearbook photos (that make total sense in context) as evidence that he’s ‘weird”. It’s being partially successful. Not the “weird” label, which I think is some buzzword the Dems are using this cycle due to bad advice from someone. But some of the lies are working and catching on.

Make sure that when defending him you don’t fall for those lies. I’ve seen FReepers unknowingly repeat the couch stuff as if it were a true story. It’s not. Totally made up.

Back then, SNL had a wide audience and could do some damage - when they decided to use their show to destroy Palin, they sold their souls and that was the end of SNL’s wide audience.

Today, no decent human being watches that garbage.

The Fake News Media is cranking out tons of anti-Vance garbage. But the never-Trumpers at FR and elsewhere are lapping it up and savoring every word.

Sarah Palin filled the stadiums, not John McCain. He was wildly jealous of her and spread nasty rumors. When Sarah addressed the RNC convention the first t, people were totally blown away by her. It was the pickup that McCain needed and he squandered it with his jealousy. People in the press have gaslit the public about her since.
