Get Ready for Some Ketchup Throwing: JD Vance Caught on Tape Revealing Trump is Afraid of Harris

They should have been preparing for it all along. But then, they're not that bright.

In new audio obtained by the Washington Post, Vice Presidential hopeful JD Vance made it clear that Biden’s drop from the race came not only as a complete surprise, but that it hurt their strategy.

Speaking to a group of donors in Minnesota over the weekend, Vance told his benefactors, “All of us were hit with a little bit of a political sucker punch.”

That’s an understatement.

“The bad news is that Kamala Harris does not have the same baggage as Joe Biden, because whatever we might have to say, Kamala is a lot younger,” Vance went on. “And Kamala Harris is obviously not struggling in the same ways that Joe Biden did.”

In other words, “Crap. She’s 20 years younger than Trump and we don’t have any dirt on her.”

It’s no small wonder that all they’ve been able to do is make things up about her so far. Republicans are spreading rumors about her like wildfire. Trump (who has never taken a bar exam) ridiculed her for failing the bar exam — even though she passed it on the second try. His hero Pat Robertson failed it and never tried again.

Hell, FDR failed the bar exam the first time.

But Trump and Vance just don’t have much to say about Kamala, much to their chagrin. And in the meantime, taking shots at them is like shooting fish in a barrel. One gaffe after another, embarrassing story after mortifying tale, Trump and Vance are the DREAM TEAM of political opponents. They can barely do anything right.

JD went on to tell the donors their tale of woe:

“We have a very unique opportunity, but also a very unique challenge, because, let’s be honest, 10 days ago, the two candidates who were running for president, everybody had an opinion about ’em. Love ’em or hate ’em, everybody has an opinion about Donald Trump and Joe Biden after the past eight years. But Kamala Harris, people don’t really know.”

It sure sounds like these poor boys are getting nervous about running against Harris. It must be doubly vexing for Vance, since he doesn’t even know who he’ll be debating himself yet (provided he doesn’t chicken out like Trump is with Kamala).
