  • Joe Biden literally was the reason why Obama was able to get moderate conservative votes,its very important
  • @garykuper2241
    Flawed logic: If the VP doesn't matter, why is he blaming Harris - she was only the VP.
  • If Vice-presidents don’t matter, How can you blame the VP for open borders
  • Not this time we remember what Pence did. Eveyone knows who you are backed by.
  • @speedshoes29
    So you don’t matter, Vance? You’re a VP pick, so by your words, you are pointless.
  • @elleaubry3772
    Then why are you guys jumping up and down and having a hissy fit over who the Democrats chose?
  • Wow, what kind of sorcery is this? How did Trump get Vance to publicly endorse his quote, n downplay his importance to the political process. Literally, Trump saying, "I cud've picked a rock..."
  • Vance a bad choice. Trump should've stuck with the late great Hannibal Lector as vp
  • @davidbales8053
    Good to know, that He knows, he doesn’t matter. To anyone. Good luck salvaging your marriage after this, JV.
  • @timkasten7708
    Nothing like supporting someone who say you’re irrelevant, and agreeing. Explains the eyeliner ~
  • @rhet1016
    If true, it’s insane. The idea that whoever might automatically become the president doesn’t matter as much as the person who will start as the president is just bonkers. That’s like saying the co-pilot of a plane could just be any member of the cabin crew.
  • @chili595
    Everybody's entitled to their opinion but frankly I think it is an important position and it should be filled by qualified person
  • Saying that VP picks rarely matter to election outcomes is just another way of saying that sometimes VP picks greatly matter to election outcomes, like now.
  • He wouldn't DARE say DonOLD was wrong. Are you kidding me?!?😂
  • @wallylasuer6886
    He’s proving him wrong pretty well, ever since Vance signed on as VP candidate trump numbers have gone to hell in most the polls. Good luck w that!
  • @user-pq9ju5pg5u
    Look J.D., it matters a whole hell of a lot who the VP pick is because Trump is old as dirt and eats McJunk.
  • @user-rn5dl3xt1m
    Vance is trying to keep from being blamed if or when Harris-Walz wins.

    TRUMP 2024! This message brought to you by the committee for Americans That Dropped Out of School in 3rd Grade and Got Kicked in the Head by a Mule More Than Thrice.
