Vance implored a group of reporters not to call him and former President Donald Trump "weird," arguing they were "normal guys."At an event in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Vance was asked how Republicans would stop voters from referring to them as "weird" after Dem...
Interesting how much Vance seems to be in charge of the messaging right now. I don’t remember Pence being this outspoken on the trail. Maybe I’m misremembering. Most VP candidates let the person at the head of the ticket take charge, which only makes sense. Normally, that’d be doubly the case when your boss is Trump; it’s hard to get that guy to shut the fuck up.
At a guess, Trump is still stewing about not running against the person he planned to run against and doesn’t know what to do. Meanwhile, Vance can do as he wants. What Vance wants is a bunch of stupid shit that’s only dragging the campaign down, but he does it nonetheless.
Normally I would assume Trump would be pissed about anything that takes attention away from him or is negative towards him. That’s all he focuses on.
So I also assume that either Vance’s stuff is filled with sucking up to Trump (and I’m not going to watch/read all his stuff to find out), or that he’s pissing Trump off by getting so much attention of his own.

Trump’s handlers still have him in no-talking-timeout after the black journalists thing.
