Anti-Trump Republicans are aghast.

Mustn’t say how evil and authoritarian Trump is (and can’t for a bit because of the nutter shooting at him) because that is “stochastic terrorism” (a word they’re not using but they’ve sneered at the concept for ages) then go on an undemocratic tear while the media is paralyzed. Evil chef’s kiss.

I guess Vance has decided to go with “might prove useful.”
I’m not sure if the most anti-women ticket in history can be determined with any exactitude, but Mary Trump thinks it’s these two guys. I’m going to take her word for it.
