Today the DNC opens its convention and all the promises, attacks, insults and out right BS will continue until Thursday night….I will not waste my time or yours reporting on the day’s festivities…..I will do a wrap up on Friday.
Let’s talk about the elephant in the race.
How many remember the election of 2008 and the intro to one Sarah Palin?
She was the governor of Alaska.
John McCain made a horrendous mistake by asking her to be his VP and it was bore out in the news almost daily.
And now we have a ‘new’ Sarah Palin and its name is JD Vance.
Americans aren’t vibing with the Republican vice-presidential nominee. On average, only 33 percent have a favorable opinion of Sen. JD Vance, while 42 percent have an unfavorable one.
Americans were cool toward Vance from the start: Three days* after he was announced as former President Donald Trump’s running mate, his net favorability rating was -3 percentage points (26 percent favorable, 29 percent unfavorable). But since then, he has faced a rash of bad headlines about his past comments calling Harris a “childless cat lady,” his past support for a national abortion ban and even a baseless internet rumor about having sex with a couch. The poor rollout pushed his net favorability rating down even further, to -9 points.

Vance is similar to Palin….he fires off his mouth before his brain is loaded.
Vance is discussing becoming a new father and the help he gets from his mother-in-law.
“The whole purpose of the postmenopausal female in theory,” he says in the clip talking about becoming a father and getting help. “She lived with us for a year.”
The comments immediately drew attention online, adding to questions about Vance’s view on women after he said that Democrats are mostly miserable “childless cat ladies.”
Don’t believe it? Then watch the video….

Vance never stops spouting crap and yet there are some Americans that will vote for him simply because he is tied to Donald the Orange……a sad way to pick a candidate.
Here you can read some Vance’s more disgusting and pathetic quotes….

He is the new Sarah Palin and he will go down as a buffoon in Congress as she did as a buffoon in state government.
Between Project 2025 and Vance it is not looking good for the GOP….but there is still a couple of months for everything to change….but will it?

Buffoon is a good word for him, chuq. That’s how I always described Boris Johnson.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanx Pete….he is the very essence of ignorant. chuq
I’d claim there is a significant difference between Palin and Vance.
Palin was, frankly, utterly stupid. There are actual lists, some of them quite lengthy, of the stupid things she’s said over the years.
Vance, on the other hand, is not stupid. Vance is flat out sycophant and hypocrite who will say and do anything he feels is in his own benefit. He is far, far worse than Palin was at her most ridiculous.
I must agree….Vance’s ideas are just scary while Palin was just laughable. chuq
