This is going to be the ugliest election ever. We have a stable of highly questionable people running for the highest offices in the land.
No kidding. Look at how the "couch" thing took off.
Also, as several pundits have said, this is all a distraction. If the GOP wants to win, they have to focus on issues - like the last 3 years.
What was the couch thing?

JD Vance Couch Cushion Story Hoax, also known as J. D. Vance Hillbilly Elegy Latex Glove Masturbation, refers to a viral piece of misinformation stating that United States Senator J.D. Vance, currently the running mate of Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, masturbated by humping two couch cushions into a latex glove and that he'd written about the experience in his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. The story was made up by Twitter / X user @rickrudescalves in July 2024 and spread widely on social media, which led to news publications uncritically repeating the hoax story as fact.
Walz commented that Vance should "get off the couch" and debate him.

Repeat a lie often enough...
Now, lemme tell you about horse semen....
In the following weeks, Trump and Vance supporters fabricated a fake story about Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz, known as the Tim Walz Horse Semen Story Hoax. The Walz story was labeled cringe by many internet users who believed that the meme was forced and was trying too hard to deflect the Vance, couch memes and "Republicans Are Weird" criticism.

One of the last pictures of Trump with the amputees is a pic taken with Joey Jones.
A bit about Jones: https://taskandpurpose.com/military-life/marine-eod-joey-jones/
He was on Gutfeld! a few nights ago, while they were discussing the Walz stolen valor issue. Jones wasn't as perturbed by the title infringement or even equating serving in Italy to being in a war zone. What had him pissed was Walz getting out after learning his unit was going to the Sandbox.
As a leader in his unit (and Walz was acting as Command Sergeant Major), he's responsible for the readiness of his unit in multiple ways. Maybe it's just the Marine in Jones, but it bothered him greatly that the man would let his buddies down.

Shortly after this story broke, some reporter on CNN did a story about JD Vance, and how, when overseas, he was little more than a reporter in Iraq.

She doesn't like Vance's politics..
Shawn Haney, a retired Marine officer whom Vance has praised for her mentorship during those years, said she doesn’t agree with “much of his current politics.” Yet Haney she is able to “separate the person from the candidate and have those unconditional feelings of pride for someone that I have served with, mentored, and considered a friend for almost 20 years.”

Vice President Harris, who has replaced President Biden atop the Democratic ticket, has assailed Vance for his shift toward Trump, claiming last month that he’d be “loyal only to Trump, not to our country.” Vance responded during a campaign event days later in Michigan, a crucial battleground. “Well, I don’t know, Kamala,” he said. “I did serve in the United States Marine Corps and build a business. What the hell have you done other than collect a check?”
