The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

The two sides of the coin that is President Donald Trump was on full display two days ago. His amazing ability to motivate and energize an otherwise detached electorate -- when he is on the ballot -- and his equally amazing ability to infuriate and motivate the Democrats.

And that's where JD Vance has a tremendous opportunity. As the presumptive front-runner for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, He has the next two years, before the 2028 campaign begins in earnest, to create a persona as "The Anti-Trump." But not on policy, where the President and he are in broad agreement. No, it will be in tone, presentation, and image.

Donald Trump's bombast and hyperbole is an integral part of his public face, and in most cases it works to heighten awareness of the topic at hand and, frankly, to pique the interest of disinterested potential voters. But it also raises the hackles of his implacable enemies and, frankly, can blur the message. But that message is vital...love of America, respect for the working man, the desire for American industry to be unequaled, and for his beloved country to be a safe, prosperous, and happy place, with secure borders, a powerful military that is rarely used, a vibrant domestic economy, and the probability of upward mobility for most.

Is JD Vance any different? No, of course not. That message, until recently, would have been completely unexceptional, were it not for the shambling wreck of the Democrat/progressive movement dragging us into 3rd World territory.

But without the lightning rod that is Donald Trump, the Democrats, who can get their compliant flocks frothing at the mouth by the mere mention of the President's name, will lose a powerful recruiting and motivational tool. And the more JD Vance can separate himself from Donald Trump's unique personality, the weaker the Democrat strategy will be when directed at him. Thus the suggestion that he becomes the "Anti-Trump."

Trump Has the Entire Room Laughing as He Pokes Fun at JD Vance

The president then turned to Vice President Vance, quipping, “Why don’t you act like that? JD doesn’t behave like that. JD butts into conversations. I wanna have that for at least a couple of days. Okay, JD? We’ll keep you long term, but a couple of days of that would be very, very nice.”

This is exactly the way that JD Vance can create the image of an independent and powerful executive who is more than happy to confront Donald Trump if necessary, but will always be measured and calm in public.

Hyperbole is the politician's stock in trade, but with a thoughtful and quiet delivery, JD Vance can create distance from Donald Trump that will still allow him to communicate the broad strokes of an America First policy. It will also neuter the Democrat shock troops, who operate on rage and adrenaline. Three more years of Donald Trump will, hopefully, leave them exhausted, and the American people bored with their unending, unthinking, and hysterical responses to everything that the President does or says.

Yes, I am a fan of JD Vance. Will he be the nominee? Who knows! But the bench is reasonably deep, so if he fails to secure the nomination, I am confident that there are others who will be good candidates, especially with the possibility of Governor Hair Gel Newsom as the Democrat candidate, with all of California's miserable baggage piled high around him!

12 JD is a phenomenal spokesman for the Trump administration's policies.
He is particularly good on X, where he can sarcastically put down a critic, follow-up with a substantial argument or refutation of the false claim, and even throw in a joke/meme.

He is Trump's heir apparent in that respect.

They will make any Republican into Hitler or something even less palatable, everyone has a weak spot and they will exploit it.

If he's nice or carries himself with quiet dignity, they will say he's weak and faggy. Forget trying to tease the electorate with what you "think" they want. Trump won three times because he doesn't.

In the runup to the '24 election, I supported DeSantis, and was told by many that he was a fool for running because it was not his year. Now, it's almost a foregone conclusion that the '28 nom will be JD. I'm fine with either one, but those who told DeSantis to wait were wrong.

Yes. JD's calm is an excellent asset to dealing with them, such as he did at the Ole Miss TPUSA event. He will not be bullied or guilted into accepting their premise, let alone apologizing for whatever their latest grievance is.

Also, they assassinated his friend (after attempting to assassinate his running mate several times). They've just strengthened his resove exponentially.

35 JD Vance was vocally anti Trump once upon a time. And word is right up to when he was selected last year a lot of people in Trump world had major reservations about him.

People do change, so he could very well have had a change of heart. But there’s still this nagging feeling about him with me.

Plus the whole Peter Thiel relationship. He’s beholden to Thiel for his entire political career. Thiel is Palantir. Am I the only one who is not so thrilled with this setup?

36 My daughter, who will be 18 a month before the election, really hopes her first vote will be for President Vance.

I agree with her. I think he'll make a good President and torch bearer. (And if we could get 12 straight years of a Republican cleaning up the mess of the past decades of misrule, we might actually avoid collapse and the 2020 stolen election may have been a blessing in disguise.)

Trump forced their hand by being the type who will drag you into the gutter with him.

The secret of the Left was always that every fight by anyone against a D starts and ends the gutter but until Trump they got to pretend it didn't. Remember muh norms. Even the "polite" GOP pretended along with that one. There is no going back to the statesman. Any R one will be eaten alive. Look what they did to Romney.

Trump is, for better or worse, a unique phenomenon that maybe happens once every 50 years. I don't see anyone currently on the scene who can duplicate him, if it's even possible to dupe him.

The Tuesday election Hiroshima was a wake-up call that too many of us are excusing away or copeium-ing. I fear the midterms and 2028. And those who know me say I'm usually more optimistic than most.

Of course that's what they'll want.

However, Trump's approach to his cabinet this time around has been so effective that it will be hard for most to consider someone other than one of them. They are competent, energetic, experienced but not old*, and they are constantly communicating with the public directly about their latest actions. It is clear that Trump expects them to lead, to be as active in getting his agenda implemented, with his full support.

Once again the GOPe’s ability to field the worst possible candidates was on display.

74 Would not surprise me if the GOP decided to back a "return to norms" candidate instead of Vance.

I think the GOP sans Trump is largely a spent force. They'll do as they're told or risk losing campaign money.

75 FWIW a DeSantis endorsed candidate for mayor in Miami finished 2nd on Tuesday. First place is a AWFL who wants to build “affordable housing”. She did t get 50% so it’s going to a runoff. She is expected to win easily.

All the people running away from Mamdani to Miami will instead have an AWFL version of him. But at least the weather’s better I suppose.

77 16 The next R is gonna have to be more nasty, not less. There is no going back to dignified or moral or nice. They have already said JD fucks his couch and beats his wife.

They will make any Republican into Hitler or something even less palatable, everyone has a weak spot and they will exploit it.

If he's nice or carries himself with quiet dignity, they will say he's weak and faggy. Forget trying to tease the electorate with what you "think" they want. Trump won three times because he doesn't.

Nope. Vance should be the good cop to Trump's bad cop. Their policies are identical, but Vance can afford to give away some of Trump's edge, if only to make women more comfortable with him. Usha is a big advantage to him in that regard.

It's equally likely if not moreso they will compare Trump favorably to make the next guy seem weak and in effectual. "Trump was strong, he wasn't afraid, this guy is a pussy." kind of thing.

A pussy guy is pretty much a goner compared to a strongman fascist type. They ran it with Romney to an extent (along with stupid and evil) and with Bush I after his inevitable first win on Reagan's coattails. They will pick the archetype they believe is the most accurate and damaging.

Being from CA, Gov Hair Gel realistically only has a chance at the White House if the Donk commie cocksuckers can successfully pack the Electoral College from CA, NY, IL etc., without waiting for official re-districting. Hence the CA vs TX fight over gerrymandering (Prop 50)

In 2028, JD will be portrayed as "the most evil person to ever run for President"...including Donald Trump and every word uttered by JD will be twisted to get Dems to rage against him. Trump has proven that the way to fight this is through bombastic rhetoric...not reason and argument. It is a major strength that Trump possesses and whoever the nominee is in 2028 better be able to fight yhe Dems in similar fashion!

__

The only chance the Republican Party has to succeed as a national governing party is the Trump deportations. If the Obama/Biden wave of nonwhite immigration is allowed to settle and birth voters, the electoral math is impossible for Republicans going forward. The Biden administration not only brought in millions, they deliberately settled them in states that give them the biggest advantages.

The only people who vote Republican are white people. That's it, that's the only group. Every other group votes Democrat, at margins that vary from 60% to 90%.

The Republican Party has to choose between being called racist, and losing power forever. I know what they should do, but I also know what they will do. Boomer Republicans will sell out their children and grandchildren if the alternative is being called racist by liberals.

200 'She was evil, corrupt': Trump reacts to Nancy Pelosi's announcement of retirement; 'I'm honored...'
TOI World Desk / TIMESOFINDIA.COM / Updated: Nov 06, 2025

Nancy Pelosi announced her retirement from Congress, ending a decades-long career. President Donald Trump reacted by calling her "evil, corrupt" and "highly overrated," while also referencing her two impeachment attempts against him. Pelosi, the first and only female Speaker of the House, expressed her love for serving San Francisco and her commitment to democracy.

In part, "She was rapidly losing control of her party and it was never coming back. I’m honored she impeached me twice and failed miserably twice. Nancy Pelosi is a highly overrated politician," Trump said as reported by Fox's Peter Doocy."

Agree with the megafauna, but the CLCLs aren't coping. They genuinely love cats and usually hate men. Go to the bookstore and, for shits and giggles, check out the magazine racks. There are probably dozens of cat-lady mags about cats where it's all about cat ladies. It's an entire subculture as enthusiastic about cats as kids are about exotic cars.

238 All of the trade deals Trump has been doing, fundamentally changing the world of international trade, were designed to do one thing, bring jobs and money back to America. The deportations are designed to insure that Americans are the ones who benefit.

Changing the entire world playing field that has been in place for decades doesn't happen overnight. It is going to take a bit of time before everyone feels the benefits but it will happen. In some areas it already is.

Reagan's first year turning the government around was even slower. But eventually he was credited with creating a fantastic economy. Trump's will be better because the structural change is better.

Yes they do - but as Trump gives them reasons to say so - Vance really does not. So when they get all excited about what a n*z* Vance is, you can respond that so it was never about disliking Trump, you just hate, not disagree with, but vociferously hate your political opponents to the point of thinking it is OK if they were assassinated.

At which point I will just say it appears the problem is you are just a real nasty bastard, and you love to hate people. People will get exhausted with it all.
