Stephen Crowder got punched. Haha yes. Sadly he didn't get picked in the chest which would have caused him to collapse and hopefully die a punched Nazi. Edit: I meant to say punched not picked but getting a pickaxe to the chest would have been a viable alternative for Crowder our "give me your papers" and "rape isn't bad" compatriot

Yeah, the two things you needed to know about Joe The Plumber were: 1) He was not actually a plumber 2) His first name was not actually "Joe" Any time anyone gets all misty-eyed about John McCain, Pillar Of Integrity, The Last Serious Man In Politics, it's good to remind them of his role in elevating this transparent fraud onto the national stage (oh, and Sarah Palin).

Even without McCain picking her, the right was heading that direction because of years of Rush/Fox, but her pick did accelerate things, as did Trump getting elected.

I never read the book, but the movie "game change" is fantastic, and a lot of the major players involved say it's pretty close to the truth. Palin and her circus sideshow family should never have made it anywhere near consideration for VP. I blame(partially, anyways) the rise of "reality TV" that is, at least most of the time, actually manufactured and convoluted soap opera scripted nonsense, for normalizing constant scandal for instant gratification and ratings.

Nichole Wallace basically said the movie version was like 99% accurate to how things really went down. So you can basically watch Sarah Palin turn her from George W. Bush's press secretary into a full on reborn MSNBC liberal because she couldn't handle Palin's stupidity and insanity, basically in real time.

The Republican's for the last few primaries have always gone with the 'least worst' selection, both for VP and President. McCain wanted Lieberman as his running mate, and of course the rest lost their loving minds over it. So they devised a list, and either the last one on it, or one that no other part of the party had a beef with, got it. Same with Paul Ryan, he wasn't hated by any internal GoP group, gently caress they loved him for being Ayn Rand Jr. And in both situations, both were dead in the water 2 weeks later for having no thoughts at all. Pence was the same, a complete nobody until selected. The way things are going, one of their janitorial staff will be picked as a futuer VP as no one hates him/her that much as they do about every one else in the party.

I was under the impression that the Mittbot campaign picked Ryan because everyone thought he was a conservative wunderkind and was totally going to grab some of the youth vote from Obama, and Pence got picked because they wanted someone to appeal to the American Taliban wing of the party.

I think Pence was picked because the people running Trump's campaign didn't understand that evangelicals' number one driver is racism so they thought they needed a boring religious conservative to shore up that demo.

According to this https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/09/11/mike-pence-donald-trump-vp-228059/ It was about courting the evangelicals - remember that Trump lost the evangelical base *hard* in the primaries. Overwhelmingly. Like 70% voted for other candidates. Their conversion to his biggest supporters happened later.

But aside from abortion, I honestly can't figure out how people can conflate GOP policy with Christianity in the first place so yeah.
