it is going to feel weird to see them in the same room, like they belong to two different cinematic universes

Ha.

Vance thinks he'll still be the republican VP nominee in October.

[–] digredior@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He kind of has to be at this point. Most if not all states require the candidates to be finalized by a certain date.

Before too long, they’ll be locked in unless they just want to not run a ticket…

What happens if a nominee dies (but the other person on the ticket lives)?

[–] BaronVonBort@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Typically the party appoints someone through their own nominating process. There is a way of doing that but saying “we just don’t like this guy no more” isn’t really an acceptable one.

I have no idea actually…

Oh my goodness 🍿

It's the good father vs the Shit-ass deadbeat stepdad. Let's go.

Vance better insist they not have any furniture other than podiums in the room. He can’t afford to be distracted.

[–] TheCelticPirate@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Not to be an ass, but they're lecterns! Lol.

Walz: "See you on October 1st."

Vance: "I'll never debate you, you stupid old man."

This debate is going great already.

Your friendly HS gym coach is going to debate a guy who gets off to Raymore & Flannigan catalogues. What a time to be alive
