JD Vance's brother got clobbered in primary for mayor of Cincinnati

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Vice President JD Vance's brother is trying to make politics into the family business with a bid for mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio.

But in Tuesday’s primary, Vance's half brother—Cory Bowman—got absolutely clobbered.

In the Cincinnati mayoral election, the two highest vote recipients—regardless of party ID—advance to the general election. In that sense, Bowman succeeded as he advanced alongside incumbent Democratic Mayor Aftab Pureval.

However, Pureval took a whopping 82.5% of the vote, while Bowman got just under 13%—a pitiful result that shows Bowman is set to get smoked in the general election this fall.

1. Another neckbeard dude-bro

I predict a ton of dirt will come up on this guy shortly.

5. That is not a "neckbeard".

That's a full beard.

A neckbeard is only below your chin.

6. Artistic license

I just like throwing around the term. It’s still unsightly in my own opinion - and so is shadypants’ facial growth.

11. That'll learn ya!

It's vitally important to properly identify men's facial hair.

2. Bowman has zero chance to beat Aftab

In fact, one of the last Republicans to be elected to a City Council seat left the GOP.

3. Everything that Trump touches!

4. He made it through the Primary. He'll be in the General.

"Clobbered" is irrelevant.

9. It's a shame they don't have the rule

that runoff is only if no one gets 50%. They'd save the cost of another election and campaign.

7. I bet if JD himself ran, he wouldn't have done any better

He needs the coattails of a fat, stupid celebrity idiot to ride in on….

8. JD did a great job of stinking up the family name

Thiel and Musk didn't do that family any favors by buying JD a seat in the Senate followed by the Vice Presidency.

Pro tip to Thiel and Musk: fast tracking only works for competent people.

10. "family name"? The couch-humper has so many names that half of his neck of the woods qualify.

[Warpy]

12. Only first ma,es

because he hated his parents and because he wanted topretend he was a hillbilly and because he was really a hedge fund punk.

It's just always beenVance, I think.

13. "James David Vance (born James Donald Bowman;"

Whatever. It isn't important.
