Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer suggested that Donald Trump may be rethinking his choice of J.D. Vance as his vice presidential running-mate.

But Trump’s VP nominee is “one of the best things he ever did for Democrats,” the senator said

Donald Trump may be regretting his choice of running-mate and wondering “Why did I pick this guy?” according to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Over the past few weeks since Trump announced his decision, the narrative that Sen. J.D. Vance is “weird” has gained traction, and Schumer speculated that may have the former president considering replacing him.

“Every day, it comes out Vance has done something more extreme, more weird, more erratic,” Schumer said. “Vance seems to be more weird and erratic than President Trump, and I’ll bet President Trump is sitting there, scratching his head, and wondering, ‘Why did I pick this guy?’”

      I’m not underestimating them. If Trump wins this year it’s all over. Kiss democracy goodbye. If Trump loses they have no other moves. They’re done. That’s what you suggested in your first post, and then you decided to argue that they will win even if Trump loses which is crazy town talk.

        I think you are, and I think the left has made a hobby of underestimating the “Christian” right. I think it is very naive to say the only backing they have is backwoods states and gravy seals. They have had 4 years to plan and organize. They had fake electors, police, and active-duty military; that one alone should scare you, and now 19 governors actively pushing the election fraud lie. They have the courts, and all it would take is some organized violence and solid leadership.

        None of what I am typing matters because you will keep your head buried just like everyone else because then you would have to admit this movement is bigger than you have been told or want to believe. That’s been the problem since 2016, underestimating the ideology that runs Trump is how we got him.

        I hope you are right, but I am still going to be ready for it if or when you are wrong. As the old man said, “We will see.”

        Peace
