Vance was brutally burned during a campaign stop, ironically at a firefighters’ union conference.

    I don’t like how this article hyperbolizes the amount of booing. Compare the moments of booing to the very end with the mix of cheers/jeers where that sounds like the entire audience giving a reaction.

    Yes it’s important that jorkin depeanus vance got booed but misrepresenting the level of heckling from the crowd isn’t journalism that respects its readers.

      I’m very sorry about this. But every time I read “jorkin depeanus” a picture of the Swedish chef pops into my head

    Walking out on to speak to a bunch of Boston firefighters with some weird ass jingoist country bullshit playing: immediate boo

    You’re JD “Couchfucker” Vance: immediate boo

    Your boss a few days before took a shit on the national gravesite of war dead by politicizing the ultimate sacrifice they made: immediate boo.

          Have you ever been to NJ? Literally the entire state is lousy with incredible local pizza joints. If you live in the state and order from a pizza chain, there is something wrong with you mentally.

          And yeah, there is a type of tomato pie that is specific to Trenton, and it is known for it around the rest of the state (and PA, and perhaps NY). Google “Trenton Tomato Pie.”

          Trenton is a shit city (NJ should do better for their capital city), but people often forget that it has an insanely rich history that goes back to the Revolutionary War. It’s more recent history (early 1900s) includes a ton of Italian immigrants.

          That said, I love mustard and I love pizza, but they don’t go together. That’s a travesty.

              Yeah it’s a bummer. I don’t know if it’s a corruption problem, or what, but it’s unfortunate that NJ can’t/hasn’t/won’t fix the city up. It’s still their state capital.

    Lay off Vance, everyone! The risk of actually showing how stupid and robotic this guy is is that he might get replaced on the VP candidate slot. He’s a terrible choice that’s driving people away, but if he gets replaced literally a bowl of soup would be a better choice.

      Nah I think a replacement does worse. Not because the replacement would be worse, but it shows insane weakness/ stupidity/ inability to have a coherent strategy on the part of a Trump campaign. It shows that these guys don’t know what it takes to win an election; and giving your vote to a team that doesn’t know how to win an election is a wasted vote. Its the same as why Biden was struggling; losing charges compound interest because viability is a key component of whether or not people vote for you. If you aren’t perceived as viable because of your polling, it bites double.

        This is my feeling as well. For Trump to replace Vance means Trump admitting he made a bad call. He makes horrible calls constantly, but I don’t see him admitting to a single one.

          He wouldn’t admit it. He would find something to blame on Vance (probably wouldn’t be a strain) and then “You’re Fired!” and the red hats would chuckle and never miss a beat.

            I wonder if Vance then makes the talk show circuit and turns anti-Trump while hyping his new tell-all book

              That would be funny as hell, and well frankly probably exactly what would happen.

          It also kinda nukes all their bitching about replacing Biden.

          Biden was never officially nominated. Vance was. It’s a much bigger deal that shows weakness in the party.

      Yes, but RFK may or may not be. And at this point trump might put the wrong RFK on his ticket and get the brain worm guy instead of the dead politician.

        You get into the role of electors, who are supposed to submit the votes for who best represents the state’s choice or something like that. This was written back when it would take weeks to get to DC, so who knows what would be there.

      The more I think about it, the more I expect RFK will replace him.

    Vance’s team is already attempting to spin his dismal reception, lauding his bravery for stepping into hostile territory.

    They can spin it all they want but he wasn’t in a gd firefight ffs.

      And they’re firefighters. They lean conservative. Not as much as cops, but they still lean conservative. Yeah, it was a union, but so is the police union.

        Proof that fire fighters lean conservative nationally? Because in my experience that’s very much not true.
