There has been a relentless opposition research campaign targeting JD Vance lately. This campaign has dug up his old podcast clips and video appearances to paint a picture of him as radical, dishonest, and culturally out of step with most Americans. The clips are not all bad, but they are having an effect in painting him as “weird” — an accusation that he has been unable to rebut with natural charisma. Vance is a smart person undoubtedly, but it seems that he has become victim to his overly cerebral and online manner of expression and poor showmanship compared to Trump. There is also a perception that he is a bit of a phony since he had a well-documented public record as a Never Trump conservaliberal before suddenly rebranding as MAGA. As I mentioned before, Vance is not funny, which is fine, but humor is also an important part of what made MAGA culturally successful. This was embodied by Trump himself, and it is why he is so essential to the movement. Vance has time to pivot but not unlimited time.

If the media applies a modicum of intellectual honesty or parity in their clearly partisan rancor, Harris would be as in trouble or worse. She is intellectually incapable, something everyone who's lived in California over the past 20 years seemed to know before 3 weeks ago. But they won't.

They’re in the tank for her generally. But both sides kind of suck comparably

i mean i agree she sucks bad, but "intellectually incapable, everyone knew this 3wks ago" seems like an odd framing - 3wks ago the race was Trump-Biden-Kennedy and they all looked comparably braindead, she's the only one i believe could fry an egg without burning down the house
