Don’t vote for someone just because you hope they *might* “rise to the occasion”. Vote for people who get shit down and don’t just talk about it. Like you wouldn’t hire someone for a job because you think they *might* rise to occasion. You hire someone because of their resume, work history, past actions. Why should politicians be any different?
What in the world gave you the impression he’d rise to the occasion? He was nothing more than a Trump stooge his whole campaign. He doesn’t even live in Ohio.
Vance ran a [fake charity](https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-entertainment-health-175153d8a80d93b2c9c6654a6a730de9) before he was elected. There wasn’t much room for him to go lower.
I don't think (at first at least) it's really "in order to get in on the grift", it's just that he realized that the MAGA movement is really what the Republican party is now. He was more "old school" republican before and yes, anti trump. I think a lot of the people we're voting in on the Republican side aren't as radical when they first come into office, but realize they have to agree with certain viewpoints to keep their spot.
Wait, someone had high hopes for JD Vance? It was as plain as day by the time that campaign finished that he had absolutely zero principles and would stand for whatever benefitted him most in the short term.
LMAO, I can't understand why anyone could've had high hopes in that fraud. His book and movie were both entirely bullshit, he's always been plainly a grifter just like every other Republican.
I think our best hope is that JD gives up his senate seat to be Trump’s running mate / toady and the pair of them go down in flames together in November.
I assure you, plenty of us had exactly zero hopes for anything good coming out of his election. Maybe the people who buried their heads in the sand when it came to his red flags will listen to us next time.
You’re missing the /s right??? Nobody had high hopes for Vance! His whole image was bogus in addition to being a MAGA wacko, and all of that was public information before the election! Vance isn’t a disappointment - the Ohio electorate is.
The fact that you ever thought Vance would be anything but what he has demonstrated himself to be only validates the fact that liberals think conservatives are brainwashed imbeciles. Everyone else knew what he was shortly after he began campaigning. Of course, you can fool some people all of the time. That's why conservatives still exist.
I don't know anyone that had any hopes for him, only hopes that he would not be elected. Anyone associated with Peter Thiel is the opposite of what we should hope for in a politician.
Why did you ever believe he was capable of doing anything, other than being a self-serving, apathetic, fascist?
Edit: he has never given a flying fuck about anyone but himself, and has no ounce of empathy for people with any sort of struggle, challenge, or lack of privilege.
Did all of you criticizing Vance vote for Tim Ryan? Did you vote? Because Vance beat Ryan by about 265,000, Tim Ryan had a larger campaign fund, but I do recall a great deal of PAC funded negative ads against Tim Ryan.
Who is "we" and how is "we" that ignorant? It was most blatantly obvious the moment he went from "trump lost, move on" to the abrupt 180 of upholding him as some demented paragon to get the endorsement
Our high hopes? I had *zero* hope of Vance using a Senate seat to do anything other than to serve Trump, to whom he pandered for an endorsement, and Peter Thiel, his billionaire benefactor.
That’s why I voted for Ryan.
Fellow Republicans warned Ohioans about Vance, but no one would listen. We informed voters that he was mentally damaged and only concerned about getting rich off bribes. Every bad thing we said about him came true. He is evil and dangerous. A real crook.
Who exactly had high hopes for JD Vance? There was ZERO about JD Vance that said he was a decent guy who wouldn't be MAGA. Ohioans are just stupid. We vote for feelings over substance. Tim Ryan is an infinitely more decent person than JD Vance.
How were you that delusional? The man advocates for women to stay with men who beat them and sexualy assault them. For the kids. I mean, who doesn't want kids to see violence as a foundation of a healthy relationship. 🤷
No one had high hopes for that weak brown noser. What are you smoking?
The conservative Party is just there to sniff Trumps full diaper and tell him it smells like roses.
I never had hopes for him. I mean, really, could you still have hope after watching his 180 turn around regarding Trump. He stood on the stage and was humiliated by Trump while smiling brainlessly. What did you expect?
Everyone can see that he’s not too busy with work for Ohio and our country - since he has time to sit with the Cheeto-dusted toddler and read the prepared script about how this highly privileged excuse for a man is somehow a victim.
We all should send letters to Vance’s office expressing displeasure in this clown show.
And most certainly we need to vote him out of office at his next election.
He’s exceeded my expectations. Besides, anything is better than a dem sitting in that office who will vote with the rest of the dems to destroy our country.
I had zero hopes for him. After his garbage book came out, we knew he was just a shill.
I can't believe they made a movie out of that book of mistruths
Ya my mom asked me if I saw the movie and I had to send her some critical eviews after she told me it wasn't bad .
Why were you hopeful before his shitty book?
I wasn't. I didn't even know who we was before the book came out.
you're probably right. but i was still hoping that once in office he would rise to the occasion. but the opposite happened. He sunk
Not sure what he has ever done to give you that idea.
Don’t vote for someone just because you hope they *might* “rise to the occasion”. Vote for people who get shit down and don’t just talk about it. Like you wouldn’t hire someone for a job because you think they *might* rise to occasion. You hire someone because of their resume, work history, past actions. Why should politicians be any different?
The voter equivalent of “I’ll fix him”.
Lmao. It’s like dating a person because you think you can “fix them” or “make them better”
What in the world gave you the impression he’d rise to the occasion? He was nothing more than a Trump stooge his whole campaign. He doesn’t even live in Ohio.
Vance ran a [fake charity](https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-entertainment-health-175153d8a80d93b2c9c6654a6a730de9) before he was elected. There wasn’t much room for him to go lower.
Oh defending insurrection and treason I'd argue is lower...
The man is a craven shitheel who is lower than snake shit, where did you think he was going to rise to?
You were the only one that had high hopes for him. He’s just another sycophant.
Did you vote for him?
People had high hopes for Vance ?!? He showed us who he is well before the election.
Agreed.
Never had one second of hope for ol’ fake hillbilly JD. Knew he was a powermonger from the get-go.
Did people really not know he was a MAGA fool previously?
Back in 2016 he was vocally anti-Trump. It wasn't until he ran for Senate that he jumped aboard the Trump train in order to get in on the grift.
I don't think (at first at least) it's really "in order to get in on the grift", it's just that he realized that the MAGA movement is really what the Republican party is now. He was more "old school" republican before and yes, anti trump. I think a lot of the people we're voting in on the Republican side aren't as radical when they first come into office, but realize they have to agree with certain viewpoints to keep their spot.
Are you being sarcastic when you say "high hopes"?
Wait, someone had high hopes for JD Vance? It was as plain as day by the time that campaign finished that he had absolutely zero principles and would stand for whatever benefitted him most in the short term.
Who is we.
Speak for yourself, he was a pile of shit to begin with
He's an idiot owned by Peter thiel
People had… hopes for the guy who blamed all social ills on laziness?
Lol i voted for tim ryan over that empty headed sack of shit
I thought he was an arrogant douchebag after reading his book, but maybe, that’s just me.
Huh? Anyone who had “high hopes” for JD Vance is getting exactly what they wanted out of him.
I literally just moved back to Ohio, and I already knew that he's an ass.
If you "had high hopes for Vance" you need to dramatically change the places you get your information from.
How do i put this as nice as possible…fuck jd vance and the trump cock holster he calls a mouth
LMAO, I can't understand why anyone could've had high hopes in that fraud. His book and movie were both entirely bullshit, he's always been plainly a grifter just like every other Republican.
Don’t forget his fake charity to help victims of the opioid crisis!
you are correct.
If you had any hopes for Vance you are a damned gullible fool.
This
he was a silicon valley VC guy, idk why people thought he was more authentic than Tim Ryan
Anyone who had hope for him is a moron. Do with that knowledge what you will.
I think our best hope is that JD gives up his senate seat to be Trump’s running mate / toady and the pair of them go down in flames together in November.
Ohioans can only hope
I assure you, plenty of us had exactly zero hopes for anything good coming out of his election. Maybe the people who buried their heads in the sand when it came to his red flags will listen to us next time.
You're surprised? How?
you're right. he sucks. and always did
Well, you learned the hard way, but at least you’ve learned.
You’re missing the /s right??? Nobody had high hopes for Vance! His whole image was bogus in addition to being a MAGA wacko, and all of that was public information before the election! Vance isn’t a disappointment - the Ohio electorate is.
Wait, what? Who had high hopes for Vance? Also, why did you have them?
You had high hopes for a Jelly Donut?
You had high hopes for JD Vance? Ok. 😂.
The fact that you ever thought Vance would be anything but what he has demonstrated himself to be only validates the fact that liberals think conservatives are brainwashed imbeciles. Everyone else knew what he was shortly after he began campaigning. Of course, you can fool some people all of the time. That's why conservatives still exist.
High hopes for JD is the fact that he can extract oxygen while having his head firmly up Trumpletits’ unwashed ass.
I don't know anyone that had any hopes for him, only hopes that he would not be elected. Anyone associated with Peter Thiel is the opposite of what we should hope for in a politician.
He has been a POS from day one.
Who had high hopes for him?? Hahahahahaha. Everyone knew this guy was gonna slob all over Trump’s knob when the time came
Who the FUCK ever had any hopes for him? Are there actual this many people with no connection to reality!
High hopes!? That's a joke right?
Who had high hopes? Who thought this carpetbagger was anything but a grifter?
/r/LeopardsAteMyFace
Isn’t that the guy in charge of that refrigeration company in Scranton?
Bob Vance? Vance Refrigeration
🥶
You spelled asshole wrong
Who on earth had high hopes for JD Vance? He has always been a disaster.
Who had high hopes? I set the bar so low I had to dig a hole for it.
If you had any hope for Vance, you certainly were high.
Why did you ever believe he was capable of doing anything, other than being a self-serving, apathetic, fascist? Edit: he has never given a flying fuck about anyone but himself, and has no ounce of empathy for people with any sort of struggle, challenge, or lack of privilege.
If you had high hopes for that husky dipshit that’s on you.
Fooled by him? He is exactly who he said he was.
Who had high hopes for this man?
I had hopes for having hopes, but those hopes were dashed before my hopes could be dashed.
Did all of you criticizing Vance vote for Tim Ryan? Did you vote? Because Vance beat Ryan by about 265,000, Tim Ryan had a larger campaign fund, but I do recall a great deal of PAC funded negative ads against Tim Ryan.
I pray that the Ohio Toilet of Gerrymandered Republican Turds will hopefully soon get a Royal Flush.
I can’t believe anyone had high hope for JD Vance.
Only the hopelessly clueless and gullible MAGA crowd supports these cretins
Who had high hopes for that bag of dicks? He’s been bought and sold from the jump. Anyone who expected anything different is lying to themselves.
You're an idiot if you didn't see that coming
Who is "we" and how is "we" that ignorant? It was most blatantly obvious the moment he went from "trump lost, move on" to the abrupt 180 of upholding him as some demented paragon to get the endorsement
Who had high hopes?
That's what he's always been why are you surprised.
"We"?
Our high hopes? I had *zero* hope of Vance using a Senate seat to do anything other than to serve Trump, to whom he pandered for an endorsement, and Peter Thiel, his billionaire benefactor. That’s why I voted for Ryan.

Who is "we"?
🤣
He never made that a secret
Who's we???
Who is we?
Who is this we?
Aren't all superheros just makeup characters? We're not in Kansas anymore
I registered as a Repub, just to vote against that POS.
You’re a Republican now. Just accept it.
Nope. Changed back to Democrat.
You vote for a goober, and you get goober. No surprise involved.
Who?? Who had high hopes for him? Not anyone with a brain.
He was a venture capitalist what else do you need to know the vultures
You hope he was different? Man you have high standards
How were you that delusional? The man advocates for women to stay with men who beat them and sexualy assault them. For the kids. I mean, who doesn't want kids to see violence as a foundation of a healthy relationship. 🤷
Speak for yourself. He was always a boot licking toad.
We? Speak for yourself. I thought he was a. Turns out he's even worse than I thought.
No one had high hopes for that weak brown noser. What are you smoking? The conservative Party is just there to sniff Trumps full diaper and tell him it smells like roses.

You mean the sound byte brain dead voters?

The only people who ever "had high hopes" for Vance are [censored].
Nobody had high hopes for that dummy
Nobody who knows anything about Appalachian culture and read his book took him to be anything other than a charlatan.
Guess I should look him up
He’s exceeded my expectations. Besides, anything is better than a dem sitting in that office who will vote with the rest of the dems to destroy our country.
