VP Harris did better with a teleprompter than President Biden but that's a low bar.
I mean if Trump could stick to his, he would have sewn up the Presidency last weekend

Trump's choice of Vance was, in my opinion, politically inastute.  His previous choice of Pence was politically a lot better.

I expect Harris to pick (or have chosen for her) someone more politically advantageous.

For someone so vocal against Trump in the past to then say, "sure, I'll be your VP" is embarrassing.  It makes Vance Trump's bitch.  It makes him hollow by not sticking with his words.  
I mean, I know Trumpers don't know the meaning of the word 'hypocrisy,' but jesus christ, man.

The pick of JD Vance as the running mate is looking worse by the hour.

As somebody who has never voted for Trump, explain why.  I am warming up to him by the day, and I can see why someone can change their mind, much like Vance.  You can probably search this forum for my many posts where I have expressed disdain for Trump and his act, but I'm seriously considering voting for him.

-In 2016 I voted Libertarian
-In 2020 I did not vote for anybody for President, even though I voted.

And, Kamala didn’t even win her own state in the 2020 Primary. 

It would be like if Nikki Haley was VP for trump, past or present, Trump drops out, and they push her to the top of the ticket.

In 2016 I could not vote for Trump but I absolutely would not vote for Satan, I mean Clinton. I saw Trump as a huge narcisist that would say anything to get what he wanted. I honestly believed that he simply wanted to win the election so that he could be included in an exclusive group of people and that he would play along until he got bored and resign, leaving the office for his VP. I made it pretty clear what I thought of Trump and how I thought he would not work to keep any of his promises. 

So on Election day, I held my nose and voted for Pence for VP, at least that is how I convinced myself to vote. 

However, Trump surprised me and actually did work to keep some of his biggest promises, the most notible of which was nominating conservatives to the SCOTUS. He worked to get the US out of over seas conflicts and to not start others. He lowered taxes on ALL tax payers in spite of the lies the Left tells that only the rich got their taxes reduced. (I'm not rich and DID receive a significant tax break.) And contrary to what the Left will say, revenues into the treasury actually INCREASED after the tax cuts. 

I say all of this to explain how JD Vance can be excused for saying things about Trump before 2017, but now supporting him. Sometimes, people surprise you and do things you never thought they would.

Kamala never even made to a primary, she dropped out before any votes were cast.

So politicians from both parties spent the entire hearing just doing political grandstanding.  Terrific

Those things are mostly unwatchable, as the person being questioned answers nothing.

They're fun if the person being questioned knows their shit and is transparent, making the lawmakers look like idiots.

Plus the California primary comes late enough that the nomination would have been completely sewn up by that point, so it would have been a foregone conclusion she was done before we even voted here.
