Spoken clearly for many of us who are fearful of the incredible ignorance of Trump and the MAGA movement. Thank you.

I grew up about 30 miles from Butler, PA, which is just up the Allegheny from WVA. It is beautiful country, full of many hate-filled rednecks. I got the hell out of there as soon as I could.

What Vance et al seem to forget to mention is [FACT] the shooter was a young GOP redneck far right gun addict from a family of gun addicts in the inbred redneck haven that is Western PA. I don't know if he was truly aiming at Felonious Con or not, but a 20 year old with an AR-15 who listened to super far right messages was also a victim: of constantly spewed, amplified hatred that has poisoned many people in our nation. And a father of young children is dead as well, just for showing up at a hate rally.

Hatred is taught. For generations. Vance evidently has not learned anything to counter his upbringing, despite his so-called educational laurels. This GOP ticket is a clear and present danger to our democracy.

What can I say? Yes. Yes. J.D. Vance is a vile pretender. Trump+Vance = a threat to us all.

Following in Trump’s footsteps to secure the MAGA philosophy is JD, Donald Jr, & Elon. Let’s not underestimate Elon Musk and his 45 million donation every month from now until the election to the Trump campaign. I’m very disappointed in Silicon Valley’s millionaires support of MAGA. The goal of lower taxes on billionaires and turning back of regulations on health care and the environment is only part of the plan. The nightmare continues and at times it feels like we’re truly doomed. I’m not giving up hope but will continue to believe that a lightbulb will turn on for the 50% of our population that believes this is a good idea. MAGA supporters can’t be that stupid can they? J.D. Vance is in for the money, glory and his self. Trump clone!

Thank you. The suspension of disbelief [as well as the whole hog belief in outrageous lies and pathological projection] by trump's cult has not been seen since the rise of Hitler in Germany. I know that's been stated so often it's almost instant cliche', but it does bare repeating while we still can.

Nice summary of the RNC Lie-Fest in Milwaukee. What does "J.D." stand for anyway? Jingoistic Dumbass?

One good thing. That is from Ohio. Has leaving the competition opens up possibilities for both Sharon Brown and Pat Ryan! Two new senators from Ohio. Yay!

Pretty much off the topic but the one great mystery at the convention is why Trump's wife is not in attendance. Trump's grandaughter said that she wished that we knew Don like she does. Maybe Trump doesn't want us to know him like his wife does.

To quote an otherwise stupid movie: "Never give up; never surrender."

Aww, I think Galaxy Quest is a terrific and underrated movie! And the sentiment, as you say, is worth quoting!😊

Out of the gate stumbling. I saw a snippet of his first solo rally. He can't tell a joke. He has no charisma. He's a puppy.

Unfortunately, this is all just whistling in the wind. We can scream, we can yell, but our voices are not heard.

Cute writing style that remains very effective in its message.

If Trump is re-elected, it’s only a matter of time until we hear the chants of, “Hang J.D., hang J.D., hang J.D.!”
