J.D. Vance’s former law school roommate on Monday shared a screenshot of a text from 2016 in which the U.S. Senate candidate said Donald Trump could be “America’s Hitler.”
That's the year Two Thousand and Sixteen. 6 years ago.
How many millions of people who thought Trump was X have discovered, since then, that Trump is Y?
Millions. At least tens of millions. At least.
Mr. Vance has been open about his change of heart regarding Mr. Trump, whom he criticized on a number of occasions in 2016, and the Vance campaign downplayed the text Monday on those grounds as “old news.”
If I had made a public comment in 2015 about Trump when I first saw his candidacy, before I actually listened to him, for example, I would have said:
"Who is this guy? This is an absolute f*cking joke. A reality TV star running for the US presidency! This is how ridiculous America has become."
The real question is why are certain people so intensely determined to make Vance look like a POS, and have a negative effect on his candidacy? I've seen a bunch of anti-Vance comments here and there, and now I'm starting to wonder why.
I'm not determined to make him look like a POS. I saw some articles about him here on GAW and was already burning about McCarthy, which was NOT 6 years ago, but right now...and Trump is buddies with him again. I don't get that...and I don't get why he doesn't constantly burn the RINOs in Congress to the ground...by name.
Hye, JB. Yeah, no I wasn't referring to you specifically. It's a good post. It poses a question, and you include some sauce in your comments.
I really had only heard the name a few times (always in a context where he was spoken about negatively), but with your post, it was easy to follow up (using the WT report) and then go from there.
The questions you ask are questions worth asking.
I'll mention that earlier in the week or last week, I saw a post by someone that was saying that Trump's endorsement is not necessarily a stamp of approval as it appears, but a spotlight that focuses attention on a particular candidate. I'm not paying close enough attention to really make an informed comment on this, but it's an interesting idea.
