The GOP needs to convince voters that Donald Trump and JD Vance are regular guys, and, manifestly, they are not.

It would be strange for Democrats to attack the Republican presidential ticket for being ā€œweirdā€ if it werenā€™t true. But those men are getting weirder by the day.

Former president Donald Trumpā€™s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio), isĀ off to a wobbly start. AĀ Harris 2024 campaignĀ email sent on Friday was headlined, ā€œJD Vance Is a Creep (Who Wants to Ban Abortion Nationwide).ā€ The statement continued, ā€œJD Vance is weird. Voters know it ā€“ Vance is the most unpopular VP pick in decades.ā€

It was bad enough when footage resurfaced of a 2021 interview in which Vance called Democrats ā€œa bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that theyā€™ve made.ā€ Things got worse last week whenĀ Vance offered a non-apology, blaming ā€œpeopleā€ for ā€œfocusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance of what I actually said.ā€

Uh, okay, but that doesnā€™t help at all. The substance ā€” which Vance said he stands by ā€” is asserting that adults without childrenĀ do not deserve an equal sayĀ  in the nationā€™s affairs. Another unearthed clip of VanceĀ showed him arguing that parents, when they vote, should be able to cast an extra ballot for each child in their family who is under voting age. He didnā€™t take that back, either, going only so far as to claim it was a ā€œthought experimentā€ and not a firm policy position.

    Iā€™ve had it up to here with people saying JD Vance had sex with a couch. How many times do I have to say thereā€™s no evidence JD Vance had sex with a couch before people stop saying JD Vance had sex with a couch? Liberals must be pretty desperate to make up that JD Vance had sex with a couch. The story that on March 17, 2011 JD Vance was banned from a Cleveland area IKEA after so thoroughly deflowering a KIVIK Sofa Chaise that it had to be removed as a biohazard due to the various fluids in and around it, causing the night manager to not only quit but need intensive therapy is beyond the pale. Who would believe this? There is sworn. court. testimony. that JD Vance has not made bare skin contact with a couch within the past 5 years. Thatā€™s a fact. Look it up. The idea that this is because JD Vance cannot contain his overwhelming sexual urges in the presence of soft furniture is reckless conjecture. Calling JD Vance a couchfucker is slander and you need to take it back.

    The Leftā„¢ will do anything to avoid talking about the real issues in this campaign, like the fact that Kamala Harris laughs sometimes.

      Wait. So did he actually fuck a couch for real? Pretty sure the other one fucked/molested his daughter. I wouldnā€™t be surprised, Iā€™m just genuinely curious, keep seeing this and am not sure where it comes from.
