100% he's going to chicken out. They know perfectly well he's going to be destroyed if he goes up against Kamala.

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 45 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I'm starting to suspect he is going to chicken out from the whole election

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago (4 children)

He's sure getting lazy about campaigning. Vance is working harder than he is.

[–] WHYAREWEALLCAPS@fedia.io 42 points 2 months ago (3 children)

It's his dementia. He's getting almost as bad as Reagan was when Nancy was basically guiding him, except he won't let anyone guide him so he goes off the rails constantly. A narcissist with dementia is pretty much uncontrollable.

Melania wouldn't want to guide him like Nancy did for Ronnie anyway. The Reagans were terrible people, but their marriage wasn't loveless like the Trumps'.

Only a matter of time before the secret service keeps dropping leaves in the pool when he’s not looking.

*Nancy's psychic

I mean, have you seen some of the couches in the white house?? Who can blame him...

“How long have I been working harder than Trump? …Okay, good. I deserve some donuts— just whatever makes sense…”

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He's on Ozempic. He didn't want the donuts because it makes you much less interested in food. That was part of the reason he sounded so disinterested in being there.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It was so weird.

Ordering donuts with the phrase, “just whatever makes sense…”. What a silicon valley douchebag.

That’s some executive dysfunction right there. Not what you think any to see in an executive officer.

You know what would drive Trump nuts? If Vance's favorables started to climb higher than Trump's.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nah, he's staying for personal reasons like staying out of jail. And that's a good thing because he's sinking the GQP ship. Oh, the sweet, sweet retribution.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

He's really lost steam though. Maybe he'll regain it, but the winds are out of his sails. As he used to say of Jeb Bush, low energy.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Doubt. He’d die in prison.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

If he doesn't think he can get close enough to try to steal it after losing, then he won't play. He'll claim some BS about the Jews and the deep state, and drop out. I wish I could say he might be in prison by then, but we all know that he's never going to face any consequences for his thousands of felonies.

She asked for them never to cut his mic at the debate, lol. She's preparing to make a fool out of him, and he's preparing to be a fool.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

One does not "prepare" to be a fool.

He just....is.
