Though check the source. TNR is left leaning.
You pick a running mate to compensate for your weaknesses. Vance doesn’t do that, hence the buyer’s remorse.

Vance's selection was an act of idiocy. Doesn't broaden the tent, doesn't broaden the ticket, doesn't bring any extensive political experience or deep pockets.

What else but acts of idiocy can be expected from idiot?

President Gerald Ford's in 1989 when asked for advice on how a woman could become president.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The Trump campaign has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission claiming that Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign cannot take over President Joe Biden’s campaign’s money, calling it a violation of campaign finance contribution limit.
“Kamala Harris is seeking to perpetrate a $91.5 million dollar heist of Joe Biden’s leftover campaign cash — a brazen money grab that would constitute the single largest excessive contribution and biggest violation in the history of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended,” the complaint filed Tuesday and obtained by ABC News, claims.
The complaint argues that the Biden campaign is “flagrantly violating the Act by making and receiving an excessive contribution of nearly one hundred million dollars” to the Harris campaign.

Too bad the fund is for the "Biden-Harris" campaign. They're conveniently forgetting the "Harris" part.
Disappointing theists since 1968!

My guess is that the Supreme Court will hand a win to Trump with this one.
The current court is willing to use "original intent" or "texualism" when it suits them, and make up shit when it doesn't. They will get their desired result regardless of any precedent or reason.

In Harris's place, I'd spend the money now and let them fine me later.

In large part because these loudmouths yell a scary game and collect a large number of guns, but lack the balls to follow through on their threats.
Blowhards. Even if their nightmares were to come true, they would still quiver in their bedrooms.
Not to mention the delusional beliefs that the military would be on their side and that the opposition are a bunch of unarmed sheep.

I’ve gotta wonder if it has dawned on you yet that Joe Biden is now (and for the next six months) a President shielded from prosecution for official acts AND without the concerns of getting re-elected.
This discomfiture brought to you by the Trump Supreme Court.

Maybe someone needs to tell Biden handlers
