    I’m old enough to remember the damage caused to Bush Sr.'s reelection campaign in 1992 when Dan Quayle criticized the portrayal of a fictional single mother on the TV show “Murphy Brown.” JD Vance takes this line of attack on single and/or childless women to a whole new depth because he’s going after real people, not TV characters. This will not end well for him.

      Yeah, I too remember that one. Why was Vance even chosen? For all his issues at least Pence could make an occasional good sound byte.

      Booed at Hamilton: “That’s the sound of Democracy.” Indeed it is. And he did the ethical thing when it counted most.

      Pence was there to bring the evangelical vote. What’s this guy got?

                Oh yeah, I’m just trying to dig at them both, as Pence has nothing but a veneer of civility, and Vance doesn’t even have that

                Though I suppose when it comes time to choose a couch…

        I think Vance was supposed to appeal to the youth, since he’s literally half Trump’s age.

          He looks like a 30 something incel who stumbled from the basement into a suit. It is a demographic, so, there’s that I guess. Only now, instead of his mom taking him to the doctor and answering all the doctor’s questions for him, now his wife does it.

    You know you crossed the line when you attack someone and the exes pipe up to say you’re wrong.

    Considering that it is more and more normal for millennials and genZ to be childless by choice, this is a huge voter demographic he just shit on.

      Also those with fertility issues and step-families. It’s an… interesting play for the younger ticket.
