JD Vance takes 'Worst VP pick EVER!' crown from Sarah Palin, and gets less likable every day

[Dulcinea]

(USA Today) That’s it, folks, I’m calling it: Let it be known, in September of the year 2024, that JD Vance ‒ aka “The Bearded Weird” ‒ is officially the worst vice presidential candidate pick in all of U.S. history.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, please turn in your crown. Vance will accept it while saying something unfunny that makes normal people feel uncomfortable. It's kind of his thing.

With a seemingly endless stream of “previous podcast appearances” in which he speaks of women as faceless baby pods and with ongoing public appearances that show him struggling with the basics of human interaction, Vance has proved himself almost staggeringly unlikable.

He’s the guy nobody wants to get stuck next to at the office party. Or at the bar. Or in the grocery store line. Or anywhere, really.

1. I wonder which mental defective of the Drumph litter came up with Vance as VP: Butthead Jr or Bevis?

[Lonestarblue]

8. I read that Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 recommended Vance.

The two seem to have a close relationship. Jr. is also just stupid enough to support Vance.

25. The Story I Read...

Was that Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent was in favor of one of the other “candidates,” but Dumb and Dumber talked Caligula into picking J Divan Vance.

[marble falls]

39. Dinner at Mar-a-Lardo must be interesting without Milania to liven the conversation. I've heard Barron speaks ...

... Slovak and English but with a Slovakian accent.

[GB_RN]

40. Dollars To Donuts...

Barron rarely eats with his…umm…male parental unit.*

*Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent isn’t worthy of the title of father. Most likely, Dolt45 was disinterested, at best.

[marble falls]

41. Mango Jebus has said he's heard Barron is a fine young man. I can't wait for the movie.

[GB_RN]

42. Lolz!

Not sure if even go if someone paid me! 😂

[SheltieLover]

2. "Bearded weird"

[Mr.Bill]

20. Beardo n/t

[SheltieLover]

24. Love it!

Creepy beardo! Somehow creepy has gotten lost in the narrative.

[Pinback]

3. "Oozing whatever is the opposite of charisma"

And this description of Sarah Palin: “…little more than a reality television contestant in search of a low-rated show.”


This piece is well written and studded with memorable zingers. Fun read — thanks for posting.

[underpants]

7. So good ones in there

That’s a fairly smack-able thing to say. And it demonstrates Vance’s unique skill of sounding smug, sexist, faux intellectual, lonely, tragic and dumb all at once.

[MLAA]

13. I think the opposite is he oozes amsirahc.

[Pinback]

18. Ha!

A gelatinous, malodorous secretion no doubt.

[MLAA]

28. Indeed, he reeks of it!

[Magoo48]

4. Yes, his yuck-count is unprecedented.

[3catwoman3]

5. I would not have thought it possible.

Palin scared the hell out of me.

[get the red out]

9. Me too!

But, as someone childless by choice, Palin would have only seen me as a witch, I believe Vance would like to see women like me dead.

[radical noodle]

6. Just imagine a ticket of JD Vance and

Ron DeSantis.

[Marthe48]

11. No!

My mind won't go there without mass quantities of alcohol!

[Pinback]

19. Go-go galoshes and guyliner

“How do you like us now, ladies?

[radical noodle]

32. That's a picture I may never be able

to get out of my mind.

[Elessar Zappa]

22. A duo of unlikeable, creepy weirdos.

That’ll probably be the Republican 2028 ticket.

[Dulcinea]

27. The thought of that makes me want to take a shower.

2 of the most unlikable creeps on Planet Earth right there.

[Beartracks]

10. "...presents HIS version of the perspective of such a woman..."

I think a lot of conservatives are like this. They just imagine what something must be like, and then present it as fact and try to base public policy on it. And in this case, it really illuminates what must be Vance's own miserable-ness as HE continually tries to get more people to think like him. Same old projection and hypocrisy that are hallmarks of the GOP brand.

[PatSeg]

12. I'm not sure though

Maybe it could be called a tie. Sarah Palin was truly awful, more like an SNL sketch than a real candidate.

[TBF]

14. Even Dan Quayle looks good next to this guy. nt

[Rocknation]

15. He's the Hertiage Foundation's designated puppet

who Trump accepted along with payment from them to pay his debts:

16. While everyone wants to have a dad, friend, coach, or teacher like Tim n/t

[Hope22]

17. Super sad that he will remain our couch humping Senator....

Truly Disgusting piece of human tissue.

[FakeNoose]

29. There's still time for Ohio to recall him

He's only been a Senator for less than 2 years.

[Hope22]

36. Our Republicans are equally as disgusting as he is.

They probably have all gone home to hump the couch wondering what took them so long to think of it. Seriously our SOS just made an emergency rule that says only the voter on the absentee ballot can drop it into the box at the BOE. If you have four voters at home all of you have to drive in the car to drop them off!!! Almost a year ago voters passed Constitutional changes to incorporate women’s reproductive rights with 57% of the voters support! It has taken months to implement the changes because the State Legislature that is heavily gerrymandered is trying to screw with the verbiage. They have zero scruples. That being said I like your idea. If we get the gerrymandering passed for the third time in November maybe the State Supreme Court will force compliance and then the voters can boot JD to the street corner!

[Auggie]

21. And to think Ohio could have elected Tim Ryan instead

[cab67]

23. I disagree with one claim made in the article.

Running neck-and-neck with Palin in the “Ooof, that was a bad VP pick” category is former Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine...

Tim Kaine may not have been the most charismatic candidate Hillary Clinton could have chosen, but unlike Palin, Kaine showed evidence that he can read and write. He clearly went to school and paid attention. He knows how the legislative process works. He wasn't trying to draw attention away from his running mate, as though it was reality TV. He didn't quit his office after losing the election to extend his concluded welcome on the speaking circuit. And he supported decent policies. So it's not even close.

[Blue Owl]

26. He's the perfect symbol for the GOP to represent their brand of toxic assholery

[FakeNoose]

30. I think his strategy is to deliberately provoke us

... and take some of the heat off of Chump. It seems to be working to a certain extent.

Doesn't matter though, when Chump loses, they both lose.

[not fooled]

31. This faceless baby pod*

approves of the article.



*although none were ever produced. Sorry, Beardo.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

33. Remember

JD Vance rhymes with shitty pants.

[liberalla]

34. The writer really describes the creepiness and "stay away" factor pretty well

It fits Shady Vance to a T!

[ificandream]

35. Vance has a big lead over Palin in DU's unofficial poll of Worst VP Candidate

37. "Vance is a replacement-Pence, which is the saddest thing a person can be."

[prodigitalson]

38. it's a close call
