How is JP Vance going to explain his white/Indian kids? Are they just white?

They aren't confused, they are desperate racist #######s with no lower limit on the depths they'll sink to.

He's so stupid, some of the dumb #### he does makes you laugh and you think he's a unserious candidate, but he is terrible and a real threat.

If he wasn't such a threat you could kind of laugh and think of him as a comedian or something.

No hello, how are you?

Indian trumps Black, and White trumps Indian. Easy stuff. Just remember, keep your whites on top.

What's the racist part? I'm seeing the argument from their side as something that goes like, "oh, 4 years ago, she said she was Indian!! Cool! But for the last 2 years, she's saying she's black! So, what is she? Indian? Or Black? Or whatever is 'in'? Liar!!"

That's not racist to me, just really stupid lol.

She should just come out and announce she identifies as a Couch.

Trump cares apparently.

So do apparently a lot of black voters. In polls, the Democrats went from +41 to +61 among black voters almost overnight when Harris became the nominee. Trump is now trying to convince black people that she identifies as Indian to try and weaken her appeal to ones who vote by racial preferences.

Not of that in particular, just in general. I don't think non-racist people would do stuff like this.

Yeah I think Harris has the upper hand now. Trump is in shambles, throwing racist fits, and showing how much he hates females that it is probably enough to piss them all off to come out and vote.

Plus if they debate she is going to whip his ass.

The question is if he loses does he go away for good?

That’s a good question. He’d still almost certainly win the nomination again if he ran and I don’t know if the party could stop him.

No, he won't. He'll try to run again in 2028. The only way he goes away for good is when Satan hauls his ass down to hell.

It's just a retread of the "Pocahontas" thing they did with Elizabeth Warren basically. I don't know who this works on besides neckbeard incels on 4chan or wherever.

Most leftists are happier with Harris than Biden because she's been more vocal in her criticism of Israel. I think it's perfectly reasonable to voice concerns about Shapiro's pro-Israel stances prior to him getting the nomination if it means there's a chance the VP pick could be less of an AIPAC stooge.

That said, obviously you're not voting Republican in October if you legitimately care about Palestinians.

I'm sure some ultra MAGAs are lambasting Vance for playing his part in the great white replacement...

I doubt he’s alive in four years due to family history, diet, stress, lifestyle. Please, God, if you exist, do your thing.

That had a little more legs because Warren did open herself up to some ridicule by claiming Native American heritage and the DNA reveal made things worse.

Harris is obviously half black and has never claimed otherwise. He has much weaker material to work with here and is just looking dumb.
