    It’s funny to me because the recent press conference made it pretty clear that the Trump/Vance campaign is aware they have massive problem with women. This is why he came out and attempted to rewrite the narrative around the repeal of Roe.

    So, it was really important that he get out and find a way to win with women and escape his past on Roe. Meanwhile someone else at the campaign is pushing all this tampon attack line garbage.

    Tell me you don’t support or understand women’s issues without telling me you don’t understand women’s issues. It’s comical how poor his campaign and the wider GOP strategy is being handled. He forced out all the reasonably competent GOP strategists and he is left with clowns.

    The Walz stolen valor attack line is the same thing… It opens up harder on Vance way than Walz. Their military records aren’t favorably comparable for Vance.

    I have a few veterans friends who were big Trump supporters. Two of the three have decided to bow out this round. They say they can’t vote for Harris which I get. They are hard 2nd amendment advocates and I can respect that. Now they feel like they can’t vote for Trump because of the swift boating on Walz. I’m surprised, but both of them are just planning to sit this one out now. The third is desperately trying to get them to reconsider. They were already on the edge based on Trump’s “last time you need to vote” comments. I think the disrespect to Walz was the final straw.

    It’s crazy to watch this guy find new and innovative ways to implode.

    Just insane.

      As a veteran, I’d like to throw out a few more reasons. Captain bone spurs is a draft dodger, and on top of that, called McCain (an American hero) a loser for getting caught. Also essentially called all POWs losers, and all soldiers/veterans suckers. During his time in office, he didn’t help us AT ALL. Beyond that, many of my fellow veterans are homeless. Way too many of us. And now they’re targeting the homeless as an entire group as being illegal, just so they can be rounded up and be made into slave labor. It’s abhorrent that ANY currently active or separated veterans could EVER support that POS.

        Don’t forget about refusing to visit the American WWII cemetery in France because they were also “losers”…
