Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance continues to campaign across the country for the GOP Presidential ticket while Donald Trump spends most of his time golfing. All of that practice might be making Trump a better golfer, but it is definitely not making Vance a better candidate.
Vance hasn’t exactly taken America by storm. He’s been making speeches at events with crowd sizes in the dozens of people, and his attempts to come across as an actual human being aren’t working well. Check out this MSNBC clip from earlier in the week comparing and contrasting Vance at a donut shop in Georgia with Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz shaking hands at a fast-food restaurant in Nebraska:
Vance appears to have absolutely no idea how to hold a small-talk conversation with another human being. He just keeps asking the same question — “How long have you worked here?” — followed up with the same nodding response. It’s hard not to cringe.
Vance struggles with that whole “humor” thing, attempting jokes with no obvious punchline. He also doesn’t ever seem to really understand his audience:

Semper Fi, firefighters!
Does Vance think he is addressing a room of Marines? What is happening?
Here’s a tip for Republicans in 2028: Find a running mate who resembles a real, living human being. It may help with voters who are themselves actual human beings.

Of course JD “Dud” Vance is a real class act:
The ANC staff member filed a police report (a crime was in fact committed), but she decided it wasn’t worth pressing charges (ed. SCOTUS would likely declare it an “official act” and assert absolute immunity, anyway)
Here’s JD “Dud” Vance’s take on the whole Trump/Arlington National Cemetery kerfuffle:
Truly, he and all of Trump’s minions have no shame, no bottom to which they will stoop to regain power.
He's just a Fauxbilly (credit to Maureen Dowd, where I read that word).
Staffing for JD Vance must be pretty awful, too Washington Post headlined:
So, he was wrong the first time. He got criticized for being wrong. And then, he tries to defend his statement, allowing media to point out his being wrong AND still being wrong.
