When Charlie Kirk was killed by an assassin this fall, Republican leaders credited the organization he founded for enabling President Trump’s return to power.
Now that organization is mobilizing behind JD Vance.
Uninterested in a competitive Republican primary in 2028, Turning Point USA plans to deploy representatives across Iowa’s 99 counties in the coming months to build the campaign infrastructure it believes could deliver Vance, a Midwesterner from nearby Ohio, a decisive victory, potentially short-circuiting a fractious GOP race, insiders said.
The GOP sure seem to love men in makeup for some weird reason.
Wow sure is convenient for Vance that Kirk was killed wasn’t it? Everything really lined up for him after that. What a lucky break.
Did he even say thank you once?
…Him?
How is anyone supposed to follow this act? Trump has a cult of personality.
Only one organization could possibly screw up this opportunity to unseat the GOP.
Who else? What do you think he’s been practicing his tough guy act for?
I dunno… Anyone else?
I love how that headline just casually throws around third term runs as if they are normal, legal, and expected for our elected officials to endorse.
The owner is a pro-trump multi-billionaire…
In January 2017, as announced by press secretary Sean Spicer, then President-elect Donald Trump met with Soon-Shiong at Trump’s Bedminster, New Jersey, estate to discuss national medical priorities.[26] According to Politico, Soon-Shiong was seeking a cabinet position.[27] In May 2017, Soon-Shiong was appointed by House Speaker Paul Ryan to the Health Information Technology Advisory Committee, a committee established by the 21st Century Cures Act.[28]

The crazy part is people just immediately forget this shit and expect media to just magically go back to being i.partial on their own.
Biden didn’t try to fix a lot of shit, so even tho trump was out of office for four years, shit didn’t get better. It just stopped declining as fast for a little while
I say Vance being the best they got could be considered hilarious, but then I said the same fucking thing about Trump.
And now I’m seeing a huge surge in astroturfing trying to shoehorn Newsom in as the nominee. It’s like we never learn.
It isn’t quite that we never learn, it’s that the billionaires have their preferred candidates. And when money is involved… Well… You see what’s happening, again.
The last couch Vance raped has a better shot at becoming president. The GOP is cooked.
DNC: “Hold my beer.”
And that couches name? Erikkka Kirk
HEY! Show some respect. She is a loveseat.
The GOP should just setup a copy of the press room at the White House in a retirement home where everything is painted gold. Every day, they can place dementia Don in front of the podium and tell him, “there’s a million viewers.”
He’ll keep himself busy like that until a bigger stroke than the last takes him down to hell.
That’s brilliant. But I’d rather his last months/years were punishment, and not to make him happy.
My hope is that prion disease gets him. They present many exciting ways for Trump to exit this world.
Imagine having to coalesce behind J D Vance. Jesus fucking christ
Everyone said that about trump. It’s for the democrats to lose now.
And we will. Even without gerrymandering and voter suppression, all it will take is a high profile third party candidate.
The only thing that’s going to save your country is a viable third party.
Then the country will not be saved because there is no such thing given the mathematical realities of our electoral system.
It’s happened before
Not really. What we had was one party imploding and taking a couple of different shapes before the new political balance was established. Absent self-immolation due to a division over slavery, there has never been a viable third party.
I was here when Ross Perot captured 20% of the electorate. And he didn’t get a single electoral vote and his party was gone two cycles later. That is the path of every single third party, except they will never again have it as easy as Perot.

Nothing about the modern conservative movement is authentic. It’s all orchestrated and astroturfed by wealthy GOP elites, and then promoted and disseminated by paid influencers.
astroturfed by wealthy GOP elites
And Russians. See the likes of Benny Johnson for instance.
Trump privately dismisses third-term run
He knows he’ll be dead by then. He’s a narcissist and is power hungry. He will never willingly give up power. That’s the only reason he’d step back.
Trump is on death’s door and has Alzheimer’s
Probably the last before the first. Alzheimer’s takes its time.
Still not gonna be surprised if Vance and Erika orchestrated just so he could get the organization.
As fast as they got together while Vance is still married, it’s naive to think the start date couldn’t have been when Kirk was still alive.
People have been killed by a spouse and their lover for a lot less than a multimillion dollar gift and the presidency do the United States…
Nobody likes him. Even the Trump voters don’t like him. Good luck.
I sure hope people like Walz are allowed off their leash to call him weird, because, JFC, “JD” “Vance” cannot even use his real fucking name.
Also, aligned with freaks like Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin? There should be endless exposure about that.
