Some Republicans are starting to seriously regret Donald Trumpā€™s vice presidential nominee, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance.

Itā€™s been only one week since Vance was nominated at the Republican National Convention, and already his own party members are expressing severe doubts about Trumpā€™s pick. The former presidentā€™s allies have acknowledged that nominating Vance was the product of Trumpā€™s absolute certainty that he would be able to defeat Joe Biden in November. While Vance wouldnā€™t do much for swing voters or independents, he would likely shore up support among Trumpā€™s base.

But ever since Biden passed the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Partyā€™s new presumptive nominee, Republicans have begun to sour on Vance.

ā€œThe road got a lot harder. He was the only pick that wasnā€™t the safe pick. And I think everyone has now realized that,ā€ one House Republican told Axios Thursday, under the condition of anonymity.

Another House Republican told Axios that Vance ā€œdoesnā€™t add much.ā€

    Thatā€™s just anger and jealousy because the fashion industry takes all the pockets from womenā€™s clothes so that there will be enough for menā€™s cargo shorts. I mean, I get that, and it doesnā€™t seem fair, but Iā€™m not giving up all the pockets.

      which is completely justified. women get attacked for not looking perfect 100% of the time, not wearing makeup, not shaving their entire body, AND canā€™t find any clothes that have a single functional pocket. and god forbid a gray hair shows up

      meanwhile, iā€™m applauded for not giving a ratā€™s ass what i look like, shaving zero square inches of any part of my body, and i have the option of clothes with ridiculous numbers of pockets. which IS an option because we donā€™t have to worry about being attacked for not caring what anyone thinks
