"They say Eagleton withdrew after eighteen days, and they replaced him. I wonder if McGovern had some idiot son who told him a young, unvetted senator was a good pick.... That guy Sosnik—Clinton always had smart people, strong people, and he didn’t have an idiot son to give him terrible political advice—and Sosnik said, “He who defines first defines last.”"

Either Trump has suddenly become Michael Beschloss, or I think that might actually be Bill Kristol talking.

Trumpster would use a hell of a lot of EFenheimers in regard to Qusay and Uday. He also won't fire JD. That would be admitting a mistake. We all know he never admits to mistakes and apologizes. (his sign of weakness)

He will absolutely fire JD. He will point to the polls and say that "we have to win, and we won't win with JD." The base will not care. In fact - the base will probably love it if he fires JD because his wife and children are just the wrong shade for them. We can't forget that Trump is running to stay out of prison - he will do whatever it takes to make that happen.

You make a good point. At this point, I'm not even sure firing Vance would hurt him. He could pick Bergum,Haley or Rubio. In fact we should hope he doesn't fire Vance.

Rubio is out due to 12th Amendment. He’d have to move to another state now. Haley likely won’t do him any favors and would just bury the ashes of her already torched career. When Vance goes, it’s gonna be Bergum.

I read Bergum was his first choice.And it makes sense.

I won't say it couldn't help him compared to where he is now, but another white guy from a (checks notes) swing state... I don't see the Harris campaign being too worried about it.

EFenheimers, nice euphemism. I think I'll steal that for my own use at some later point when fuck seems inappropriate (such as on the What Would Jesus Do website's comment thread).

I'm starting to use Trumpmeister. Trumpster doesn't seem to be catching on!
