House Republicans talking about Vance: 9 out of 10 say he's the wrong pick. The only person who can do us serious damage

“He was the worst choice of all the options. It was so bad I didn’t even think it was possible,” one House Republican said. “Anti-Ukraine, more of a populist. He adds nothing to the Trump ticket. He energizes the same people that love Trump.”

“I think if you were to ask many people around this building, 9 out of 10 on our side would say he’s the wrong pick,” a second House Republican said. “He’s the only person who can do serious damage.”

A third House Republican — who said “there is major dissension” to Vance in the conference — argued that if Trump falls short to Vice President Harris in November, Trump’s vice presidential selection will be to blame.

“The prevailing sentiment is if Trump loses, [it’s] because of this pick,” the lawmaker said. “It doesn’t help.”

The anxiety surrounding Vance grew more pronounced after President Biden withdrew from the 2024 race and threw his support behind Harris, a move that is energizing Democrats, boosting their campaign coffers and turning the political landscape upside down.

“I was concerned the whole time, but now it’s really concerning,” a fourth House Republican said. “It doesn’t make it any easier.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson claims that Trump shooting video and analysis shows: "a bullet went THROUGH his ear."

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Thursday pushed back against FBI Director Christopher Wray’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee that former President Donald Trump may not have been hit directly with a bullet during the attempt on his life at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Wray, whom Trump nominated to head the FBI in 2017, testified Wednesday about his agency’s investigation into the assassination attempt, and said, “I think with respect to former President Trump there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that, you know, hit his ear.” He said the investigation into the shooting, which is being led by the FBI, is “very much ongoing.”

Johnson said he didn’t find Wray’s testimony credible.

“We’ve all seen the video, we’ve seen the analysis, we’ve heard it from multiple sources in different angles that a bullet went through his ear. I’m not sure it matters that much,” Johnson said.

Trump's two-faced running mate writes future Democratic campaign ads.

According to JD Vance's own words, Trump is:

"America’s Hitler."
"One of USA’s most hated, villainous, douchey celebs, unfit for our nation’s highest office."
"A total fraud that is exploiting these people."
"Doesn’t actually cares about folks."
"Noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place."
Making "people I care about afraid. Immigrants, Muslims, etc. Because of this I find him reprehensible."
"An idiot."
"A moral disaster."

Vance is a "never Trump guy" who "never liked him" and thinks "God wants better of us."

Plus a bonus liked Twitter post about “the coddling of thug real estate barons who commit serial sexual assault.”

Desperate grifter demands refund on funds spent campaigning against Biden

So we are forced to spend time and money fighting Crooked Joe Biden, he polls badly after a terrible debate and quits the race,” Trump wrote on social media.

“Now we have to start all over again. Shouldn’t the Republican Party be reimbursed for fraud in that everybody around Joe, including his doctors and the Fake News Media, knew he was not capable of running for, or being, president?”

As a white middle-aged man, I'm thrilled by the prospect that Kamala Harris will be the first black female president but

she is more than qualified regardless of her gender or race. I believe she will win and win well. I believe she will see an immediate bump in her poll numbers as voters get to know her. When Trump says she is easier to beat than Joe Biden, he means he is scared of her. I believe she will make a strong case for the Democratic agenda and against the danger of Trump. I have full confidence in her. I will be excited to see her wipe the floor with that wannabe fascist, racist, misogynist dictator.

Latest betting markets implied chances of winning election: Trump 60.9%, Harris 23.8%, Biden 5.5%

Joe has demanded congress ban assualt rifles like the one used by shooter. He should challenge Trump to support him!

I wish Joe Biden would make this a very big issue that gets lots of publicity, by challenging Trump to agree that the kind of weapon that almost killed him should be banned. You know Trump never would agree. Then repeat, repeat, repeat that same challenge until election day, reminding voters that others are not as fortunate to have survived with just a scrape like Trump. Include the families of victims. This elevates the issue of guns, showing Trump has no plan and no intention to do anything because he needs funds from the gun lobby. It undermines any heroism aspect of Trump. And it portrays Trump as lacking in empathy. It turns what was assumed to be a positive event for Trump into a negative.

538: Biden chances of a win just got better. Having a dump with Trump 46% chance. Ridin' with Biden 54% chance.

My wife just yelled out that Biden has resigned. "Fake!" I said. She had clicked on a deepfake Youtube.
