If she gave half a shyt we never even reach this shyt show
I agree, I think it was more ego and the campaign thinking those swing states was in the bag… Her campaign chairman who got his emails hacked and Hilary’s campaign data stolen thru never recovered from that..

She's right. Kelly is cool but would be a bad selection long term, given the stakes. He could be a senator in Arizona for 20+ years if he wants. He's that likable and pretty bullet proof, given all the federal money he steers into the state
Shapiro and Walz are the best choices in my opinion. Followed by Beshear and Cooper.

JD Vance, an Unlikely Friendship and Why It Ended
His political views differed from a transgender classmate’s, but they forged a bond that lasted a decade — until Mr. Vance seemed to pivot, politically and personally.

J.D. Vance Says He Gets Bad Press Because Most Journalists Are “Childless Adults”

GOP vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance was slammed this week when a video of a 2021 Fox News appearance emerged in which he smeared Vice President Kamala Harris: He described her as being one of a “bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.” Vance faced an onslaught of bad press, as many commentators—including Harris’ step-daughter, Taylor Swift fans, Democratic officials, actor Jennifer Aniston, and several conservative women pundits—decried his comment.
Yet Vance, a Republican senator from Ohio, might have had an easy way of dismissing the criticism, for not so long ago, while speaking to a group of conservatives, he blamed the negative media coverage he often received on “childless” reporters.

A newly uncovered video shows J.D. Vance didn't just go after Kamala Harris as a "childless cat lady." At a 2021 event, he said he got bad press because most journalists are "unhappy," "miserable," and "angry" because they are "childless adults."

WATCH:
It turns out that his remark about Harris was not a one-off soundbite. This dig was part of a larger schtick that Vance has deployed to explain the challenges faced by the conservative movement, including derogatory stories in the media. In 2021, Vance presented the full pitch when he spoke at a conference outside Washington, DC, organized by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, a rightwing outfit co-founded by William F. Buckley Jr. to promote conservative thought on college campuses. During this talk, Vance said he had been victimized by childless journalists. But first he noted that the conservative movement was screwed:
To achieve that control, he said, right-wingers needed to “take aim at the left, specifically the childless left.” He added: “The rejection of the American family is perhaps the most pernicious and the most evil thing the left has done in this country.”
Vance blasted the “next generation” of Democratic leaders—Harris, Sen. Cory Booker, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg—for not having children. (Harris is stepmother to the two children from her husband’s previous marriage; Buttigieg adopted twins in 2021.) Vance ranted that that the Democratic Party had “become controlled by people who don’t have children” and that “the leaders of our country don’t have a personal and direct stake in it via their own offspring.” He howled, “Not a single one of them actually has any physical commitment to the future of this country.”
He then focused his attack on the media:
So it’s not just politicians who are to be dismissed because they have no kids; it’s journalists, too. Vance went on:
Vance bemoaned low birth-rates in the United States, noting this was a “civilizational crisis.” He praised Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orban for providing loans to newly married couples that are forgiven once they have children. He also proposed that parents be given more voting power than non-parents—a remark that has received attention in recent days.
When Vance dissed Harris as a “childless cat lady,” he was not speaking off the cuff. This runs deep for him. The right, as he sees it, has been outmaneuvered by the left on various fronts, and its only target of opportunity is the government. To win that battle, conservatives must target Democrats as foes of the family. And if the media don’t give Vance or his allies good coverage, well, you know why: reporters are wallowing in self-loathing because they’re not changing diapers, carpooling kids to soccer games, or worrying about college tuition.
Vance likes to pose as a big thinker, but this is a weird and simplistic way to see the world: dividing it into haves and have-nots regarding children. And it seems that many, it not most, elected officials, CEOs, and reporters are parents. (FYI, I have two children.) Still, Vance is relying on a skewed view of reality, as he draws up his master plan for the right. At least this distortion can help him dismiss any criticism from the media.

i smoked some weed tonight and just lost my mind going off to my homie about how insane it is that trump is not in federal prison right now--not only that; he has scotus and federal judges and state officials helping him trying to overthrow democracy, hes not in jail and he's allowed to simply run for president again and until the Kamala switch was crusing to a win. that is fukking insane. he committed treason and is just a free man. people have been imprisoned for far longer for so much less. and he his rhetoric is even more charged and violent! he wont ever stop until he's stopped.
