Your 2024 Presidential Election Thread

[Blizzard]

I don’t know much about Vance or his views aside from hearing snippets of interviews here and there.

My initial reaction is that he doesn't really move the needle in terms of reaching beyond the "MAGA" crowd. So, I don't see him drawing in more independent/undecided voters. More importantly, it's a -1 to the Republicans in the Senate.

He does bring youth to the table and, of course, is also much smarter than Kamala, as are rocks, but is he future VP/Presidential material?

Overall, I'm indifferent about his selection -- my loins don't tingle . Then again, I felt the same about the two other names that were most often thrown around as well.

JD Vance is a random one.

Quite a few of my more center-left friends and acquaintances were fans of Vance when he wrote Hillbilly Elegy, but promptly reformatted that part of their memory when he won election as a Republican senator. Voters where he grew up will look favorably on the choice.

Selling the rest of the country is going to involve a proper marketing of his “poor house to state house” story to those who don’t have a clue who he is. I believe he’s smart enough to do it. Don’t make the campaign an extended epilogue of the book, but play up to his understanding of how people live in the lower classes. That relatability Vance has with the lower middle/lower classes makes him a sound choice for VP.

I love the choice.

Trump came out of this weekend looking pretty damn good.

Great book, very moving. He is well-respected in the rust belt, a few states of which are swing states.

Agree about marketing, but he has the capacity to do it I think.

As for RFK Jr, I think if you are a nominee, period, you should have some level of protection.

Sounds like the Biden administration approved a protection detail for Bob today.

We grew up in the same county, his hometown is the next town north of mine, about 10 miles up the road. But I like the choice based on his political positions. Specifically, he wants accountability for funding Ukraine and staunchly wants to secure the border.

Upwardnews in IG is reporting that USSS was ordered to "Keep an eye" on the shooter.

Trying not to move too far down the line of judgement but, this was interesting enough to share, especially if it turns out to have merit:

The rust belt (Wisconsin in particular) cost Hillary in 2016 because her Big Data consultants told her not to waste time there, she had those states wrapped up.

ABC published an article that stated the building dude shot from was an officer staging area. Can't make this up.

Very disappointed about the Vance pick. I understand why Trump picked him, but even discounting personal beliefs and thinking about this from a strategy viewpoint, I'm not sure who it helps him with except energizing turnout, which was already going to be high anyways. A Burgum pick would have probably been able to pick off some soft Biden supporters.

If he wanted to make people like Don Jr. and Steve Bannon happy, then this is the right pick for that.

I think they are confident they're going to win and picking Vance is who he actually wants as his VP for the next 4 years.

I hope so! Also seeing we're reshoring our manufacturing base, having a VP from the rust belt might help streamline things. I've heard that Ohio and the rust belt are supposed to be big beneficiary's of smart manufacturing coming back.

 

[BlackSmokeRisinG]

Ohio (Epstein associate Lex Wexner) sucked up millions of tax benefits from the Fed, passed along tax abatements to the companies (Intel) and already mega rich landowners near New Albany sold dirt for way more than it was worth after they bought ALL TYPES OF LAND in the past few years on a gamble that the CHIPS act might lead to something... I could go on, but not the thread.

Anyway, still love to see some manufacturing come back, especially high tech and keep a bit of critical manufacturing here. Every state should be hosting sites like this one here in Ohio. F the Chi-Coms.

Found this. If true this is hilarious. Cause we really are being are being led to slaughter and destruction, by a bunch of childless cat ladies.

God Bless you Ohio!



I have no idea who the woman is.

Watching you tube, dudes are saying that the feds are having an incredibly difficult time getting into the pink misted dudes phone.

Do they think we are fucking retarded? God damned NSA/federal government are spying on us every day yet they can't get in?

God damn, it's Jason Bourne!!!

 

[Muppet]

Check this shit out.

I'd be posting this if the victim were any POTUS, people are base defiling pigs.

They got into the phone. Not sure when, but at the latest sometime mid-Monday.

Even after successfully breaking into his phone and searching his computer, scouring his search history and bedroom, and interviewing his family and friends, agents still haven’t found evidence that would suggest political or ideological impetus for the shooting, law enforcement sources told CNN.

Marianne Williamson has no room to talk. She’s just got a cunt cramp because JD Vance reminded her it’s time to scoop the litter at her house since even her fucking Litter Genie chucked deuces and noped right out of her weird ass lifestyle.
