JD Vance's favorability likened to 'herpes' in brutal poll analysis

Women like North Carolina Lt. Gov Mark Robinson — the gubernatorial candidate recently linked to boasts of an affair with his wife's sister on a porn site — more than former President Donald Trump's own supporters like running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), a new analysis contends.

"You will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today. You will be protected and I will be your protector. You will be happy, healthy, confident and free.

'Loose cannon' Trump has campaign insiders scrambling as election strategy tossed out

Donald Trump's third run for the presidency has gone from smooth sailing to being rudderless since his campaign was caught flatfooted when President Joe Biden stepped aside, paving the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to change the fortunes of the Democratic Party.

According to MSNBC analyst Hayes Brown, the highly organized Trump for president campaign helmed by Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita was enjoying a honeymoon when Biden was the presumptive candidate but the entry of Harris as their man's opponent has turned him into a "loose cannon" they have no control over nor are they attempting to.

‘Ain’t taking anybody’s jobs’: Trump blasted over Haitian conspiracy in Pennsylvania

At a rally in Pennsylvania this week the Republican nominee for President, Donald Trump, extended his attacks on Haitian immigrants, claiming that they have "inundated" small towns in the Keystone State in what he called an "invasion."

The ex-president this time did not accuse the Haitian immigrants of "eating the cats" and "eating the dogs" of local residents, as he did, falsely, weeks ago when he and his running mate, JD Vance, targeted Haitians in Springfield, Ohio. But he did claim – falsely – that Haitian immigrants have "virtually bankrupt" the town of Charleroi, Pennsylvania, a manufacturing town of about 4000 with strong ties to the glassmaking industry, including Pyrex. The town is also known as the birthplace of actress and singer Shirley Jones.

Hacked files show how Trump team botched vetting of J.D. Vance

J.D. Vance has proven to be one of the most unpopular vice presidential nominees in recent memory, and hacked documents show Donald Trump's team failed to turn up some of the past controversial statements that have dogged his candidacy.

A source identifying himself only as "Robert" shopped around internal documents starting in mid-July allegedly hacked in Iran from the Trump campaign, but so far none of the stolen information has been published – not by the New York Times, Politico or the Washington Post, all of which turned down the offer despite reporting on emails stolen from Hillary Clinton's campaign, reported Vanity Fair.

Columnist has ominous warning about J.D. Vance maybe taking over presidency for Trump

When Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) ran for president in 2008 and picked Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) as his running mate, Democrats tried to drive home the message that Palin was "one weak heartbeat" from the presidency, as McCain at the time was 72 years old.

Now, however, there's a real chance that the 78-year-old Donald Trump, if elected this year, would not be able to serve out his full term in office.

Strictly speaking as an American voter instead of as President Joe Biden's Commerce secretary, Gina Raimondo appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" where she and co-host Mika Brzezinski slammed Donald Trump for boasting that he is a "protector" of women which led Raimondo to call him out for his "BS."

The former president, who is facing a significant problem attracting women voters, has recently been boasting about all the things he will do for them that began with a post on Truth Social where he wrote, "I WILL PROTECT WOMEN AT A LEVEL NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
