    Mike Pence is a milquetoast HIV enthusiast with the looks and personality of a Q-Tip but it didnā€™t deter the dimwits in 2016.

      Conservative Christians / Evangelicals loved Pence. He was a big reason Trump was elected imo. I donā€™t think this new jabroni will help trump like pence did.

          The vocal components are loud but donā€™t let them speak for everyone. Pence was a special candidate. He had a legitimate following. Vance might be able to get the GOP vote but heā€™s not getting the Christian vote like Pence was able to represent.

            Isnā€™t Donald going to get the Christian vote on his own because most Evangelicals have lost their goddamn minds?

              Thatā€™s what I thought. My Christian parents went from anti-Hillary voters in 2016 to pro-Trump voters in 2020.

        Iā€™m not sure Trump needs that kind of supporting appeal this time around. He survived an assassination attempt - to his religious followers, that is divine providence.

        I believe the new jabroni was chosen for entirely different reasons. There is a significant MAGA uprising going on in Silicon Valley, and Vance is well connected there. This is an inroad previously impassable for republicansā€¦
