Sacrificial lamb

[Squidly]

No offense to lambs, but hear me out...

When you drive over 500 miles for your work, your mind starts to wander.

With the growing realization that they made a horrible VP pick with Vance, I wouldn't put it past tRump or his inner cultists to stage some lapse in security and allow boot licker boy to befall some sort of tragedy closer to November.

Looking to spark sympathy votes or something more despicable such as a call to arms to the MAGAt faithful?

[Big Blue Marble]

1. Na, Vance will be asked to resign.

And Trump will put either Tim Scott or Niki Halley on the ticket.

[mucifer]

3. Hadn't thought about that. Your are probably right.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Niki Halley was/is an obvious good choice.

She could bring in the votes.

But Trump's ego wouldn't let him go there.

[PunkinPi]

17. I don't think those Haley voters are going to support her at this point (even if tfg tries to get her as VP)...

they didn't want him and Haley's (very predictable) falling in line probably didn't sit well with them either. Recently, Haley demanded that "Haley Voters for Harris" "cease and desist" and they don't seem to be backing down to her demand.

2. I was just saying yesterday the ol' plane crash might be the best way to save face here and I doubt very many

on their side would be to upset about it now.

[onetexan]

5. Yea that dumb one might wana steer clear of windows

I wouldn't put it past Cheeto to pull a putinesque move when he's not happy w a subordinate.

[Celerity]

4. dodgy CT, de-rec

[Squidly]

7. Its just a thought...

Unless theres something wrong with thinking out loud?

[Celerity]

9. it makes the board look bad IMHO, multiple CT's have been running riot here since the Trump shooting

[Squidly]

10. The thing is

Is it really a CT if nothing has happened? It's not like I'm trying to bend reality and spew false facts.
Idk

[Celerity]

11. CT is is not at all limited to previous events. nt

[Squidly]

12. We just have a difference in opinion...

...in what constitutes a CT.
Agree to disagree, the best part of living in a civilized society. Let's make sure to keep it that way come November.

[GigiLeigh]

6. He will fire him

Via his crappy social media app. Say he is a complete loser and he barely knew the guy. A total rino. And replace him with Donalds or Stephanik.

I think Vance will last 1.2 Scaramuccis. In other words he'll be gone by this weekend.

At least that is my prediction.

[Squidly]

8. Yea

I dont think he will be on the ticket long. Too bad because I'm really enjoying my giant tumbler of MAGAt tears with a spoonful of their desperation.
Just love watching them lose it.

[LeftInTX]

14. He'll fire him, but it will look like Vance is resigning.

[Scrivener7]

15. I put no vile plan past those people. If it happened, I wouldn't be surprised.

But they're also lazy. They'll probably just fire him.

[Chakaconcarne]

16. He would need to make alot of concessions to get Haley

but the media would get their horse race...

Probably why they are harping so much on the poor choice in Vance.

[Fla Dem]

18. If Putin has anything to do with it, maybe.

He is not happy about the Vance selection and has a way of eliminating people he doesn't like.

Russian TV Turns on JD Vance
Published Jul 24, 2024 at 7:09 AM EDT

Kremlin propagandists have mocked J.D. Vance in a reversal of the praise they gave Donald Trump's running mate only days ago.

Guests appearing on the Russia 1 channel had seemed happy about the announcement at the Republican National Convention (RNC) of Vance as the vice-presidential candidate, given his skepticism about continued U.S. aid for Ukraine and the perception that his running with Trump would be better suited for Moscow.

However, in a segment on Evening with Vladimir Solovyov, the anchor, who is an ally of Vladimir Putin, had a different take on the Ohio senator—as did his guests.
