Some truth to this but suspect it is the quality of the candidates that is the issue but the problem is these candidates come from the Voter base which tells us the base is equally bad.

I think he means people that were ever vice president. Because you didn’t include Richard Nixon, and he was not vice president in 1968.

Yes, he crewed that up. But there no reason to use initials until there was a presidential candidate with the same name, like John Quincy Adams.

Soon the nevertrumping desantis supporters will be saying Trump is so toxic to the republican party, it’d be better to let biden become president again, rather than to tear the GOP party apart with infighting due to Trump and America First supporters....

Vance has far better chance in 2028 than damaged loser Ron DeSantis does.

Republicans aren't going back to being the party of Bush, no matter how much Never Trumpers want to.

Did not click on that, but, no, the American voter is not looking beyond Biden and Trump. If they had the ability to look farther than their noses, Biden would be at zero in the polls.

J.D. Vance is a Hollywood leftist. You hate the U.S., so anyone you would advocate would destroy the U.S.

You're a clown, Nicky. This comment about Vance is more proof of it.

Vance is as principled a MAGA Republican as there is in Congress.

I know. I live in Ohio.

“Too often commentators try to lump Biden and Trump into the same ball of wax. The real Americans are smarter than that. There is no comparison. There is massive love and empathy for Trump. For Biden, those who tolerate him and find him useful do so while holding their noses. Nobody actually likes him.”

Exactly. +1

They keep trying and keep failing.

Trump 2024

Don’t recall a Souter commitment to draining the swamp. Why would he be an example?

There is no other important issue.

J.D. Vance? You have to be kidding.

Just that.

Hillbilly Elegy (film)... J. D. Vance looks back on his childhood in Middletown, Ohio, raised by his mother Beverly and her parents from Jackson, Kentucky.
I'd run like a scalded dog.   I tried to attend college in Jackson and realized it was the armpit of the United States.   I learned that two years before I got there, a Black man was tied to cinderblocks and thrown into Pan Bowl Lake.   One night my roommate, driving his large Chrysler land yacht, was rammed by a pickup truck and pistol whipped because he had long hair.   Don was a Sergeant first class in Viet Nam.

A girl I knew confided to me that her Baptist preacher father had been having sex with her for a few years.   Those people have lost their way long ago.

Oh also, the steel door at the end of the hallway in the college dormitory had .44 Magnum bullet holes in it.

I grew up in rural Georgia so I assure you that I don't over react about this.

“ He is in fr 10th choice to 4th choice.

Rubio has also come in quite a bit lately too.

Scott 7/2
Gabbard 6/1
Noem 8/1
Vance 9/1
Rubio 11/1

The top five in the betting at the moment.”
***********************************************************

The ONLY one of those acceptable to me at the moment is Vance. Of course he is likely not a favorite of RINOs, Globalists and ZEEPERS.

He got Nixon right--he ran while VP in 1960 and then as a former VP in 1968.

I think 1988 was the first time a sitting Vice President was elected President since Martin Van Buren in 1836.
