JD Vance, running with Donald Trump for vice president, screwed the pooch last night on the CBS Veep debate.
CBS’s Norah O’Donnall and Margaret Brennan for some reason left October 6th til the end of a 90 minute debate that was otherwise unremarkable. In real time people complained Tim Walz was a nice guy who wasn’t making an impression.
But theh the moment came when Vance had to ask if he’d have followed Mike Pence’s actions and certify the election, or do Trump’s bidding. Walz, like a great tennis player, smashed the ball. Did Vance think Trump lost the 2020 election?
Vance wouldn’t say, which actually also means he doesn’t think Joe Biden is president.
It was a fatal blow for Vance, who before that appeared before that to be like a lying psychopath from a Ryan Murphy teleplay. (Evan Peters could get an Emmy playing him.)
This man can never be vice president or be in a position to succeed doddering Donald Trump. He wasn’t tricked, this wasn’t rigged, the fix wasn’t in. He said what he believed. He’s a treasonist.
