if Trump is somehow the puppet master

I'm guessing/hoping Vance will try and divest himself of Trump's malignancy once he becomes a lame duck in a year or so. How to do that without upsetting his base might be an interesting challenge.

Just like one should not have expected "Trump would be different," I also do not think it wise to expect "Vance will be different."

I'm just hoping for the best whoever gets elected. I find it hard to believe that things will get worse than they are currently, but I've been wrong before on that count.

Seems as good a place as any for this.

You think his failure to mention ‘Jews’ or to condemn the Nazis was strategic?

[Horace]

No I don't think he's afraid to say he doesn't like Nazis. I don't think he's afraid to say he likes Jews and Israel. His boss sure isn't.

[jon-nyc]

Different calculations. He seems to be far more hesitant than his boss is about alienating any part of the right.

[Horace]

Being against Hitler would be a political liability, but being against the Holocaust is just fine. Interesting "calculation". Trying to preserve the more measured Hitler fans on the right, who actually thought the Holocaust crossed a line?

[taiwan_girl]

@jon-nyc I think it was somewhat calculated. President Trump has no filter and whatever he thinks, he posts. I dont believe that VP Vance is the same. More like President Obama, where everything is carefully thought out before saying anything. Very little "off the cuff" stuff.

Meagan Kelly and Mark Levine, or as she calls him Micro Penis, go at it.

This reminds me, as much of Trump's ecosystem does, of a 3rd grade recess fight where in this case you have 2 people surrounded by students, and instead of talking to each other they are yelling their insights for the crowds to hear and seeing who gets the most cheers.

They say Americans read at a 7th grade level, I sure wish we could get there again.

They all have cooties.

[jon-nyc]

Micropeni make for strange bedfellows.
