JD Vance is just like Diet Mountain Dew: an inferior version of the original that's only enjoyed by Midwestern dads.

At this point, changing the candidate would be a cluster gently caress for them due to the deadlines for filing ballot access paperwork in each state. They're all coming due already. The last one is KY, on Sept 6th. I would assume JD is the default fallback. But I wouldn't be surprised if the party just loving falls apart as they all end up at each other's throats vying for power. Comedy option is they somehow all rally behind Eric Trump.

Also they don't want to because Trump is their best shot regardless.

Yeah, this is assuming something happened like an accident or medical thing took him out. We all know he wouldn't step down of his own accord, and I think both DNC and RNC rules don't allow for un-nominating someone.

They seem all-in on him and I don't know what their plan b is, if there is one If Trump dies before the election, it will probably be Vance. We are closing in on ballots being printed and it would be extremely difficult to built an entirely new ticket. The RNC does have a way to quickly change the ticket if someone drops out/dies but it would still be really messy. As for who is the heir to the Republican Party, who knows. I imagine Don Jr will try and take up the mantle, you can imagine how that will go over. Vance will try as well because he was the VEEP pick, but no one likes him. I also think Nikki Hailey will attempt to be their next candidate, she had a lot of backing that refused to move towards Trump in the primaries. She presents as being more competent than anyone else in the party so maybe she gets it? It will be a blood path as people fight over the power vacuum and money left on the table.

Since campaigns tend to get polling data, and more of it, in much faster time than we do, I feel these stories are interconnected. https://x.com/Nate_Cohn/status/1822240430131495021?t=HLKMIN3ju57pyeefdk3hvA&s=19 https://x.com/axios/status/1822251440552686056?t=DbbGowmPnK4GhW4yCqq5IA&s=19 NYT posted:At the Aug. 2 dinner, Mr. Trump told donors that the news media had been incorrectly suggesting that he had mellowed since the assassination attempt. “I’m not nicer,” he said, according to one person in attendance.

It’s like that old joke where a White House spokesperson insists that the president would never poo poo his pants. Shortly afterward, DJT goes on Twitter to brag that he poo poo his pants.

bird food bathtub posted:I just recently got home from work and my thought on the ride home was "What in the blue, blazing gently caress kind of press conference did Donnie give?" Even NPR was calling it stuff like "combative", "angry", and "full of misinformation" so translating that from NPR-speak to English I figured it was a real doozy. I'm stationed overseas, so I don't usually get much firsthand exposure to US news media. The local AFN station aired a segment from Fox News which talked about Trump making a bunch of false statements, and when the GOP nominee has Fox News calling him out as a liar, wow

Politico is also owned nowadays by a big ol' chud, so I doubt politico will end up being the vector where any good stuff comes out. I've seen random tech sources confirm that there definitely was a hack of some type, so I'm not really questioning that part. Attribution is fuzzy, as only Donnie's folks are saying Iran did it. But the hacker only sending poo poo to politico is very, very weird and I suspect won't stay that way. https://x.com/jefftimmer/status/1822430925252092131?t=b1oncSx6uKWwB60TueDJLw&s=19

There hasn't, Trump can't just fire Vance and then pick someone else. There is a lot of work involved in replacing the VP candidate, and it requires numerous people to be involved. So we would hear something if there were serious talks about replacing Vance. To put it into context, there have been rumors that Trump was going to shake up his campaign staff. So, if we are getting that gossip, we would know if Vance was on the way out.
