Without evidence, the Republican vice presidential candidate tried to cast doubt on his opponent’s obvious momentum: “If you talk to insiders in the Kamala Harris campaign, they’re very worried about where they are”

You’ve heard Donald Trump cry “fakenews” too many times to count, and now his running mate is claiming — without evidence — that the media is using “fake polls” to show Vice President Kamala Harris is in the lead in the presidential race.

In an interview on Fox News Sunday, Sen. J.D. Vance alleged that “The media uses fake polls to drive down Republican turnout and to create dissension and conflict with Republican voters.”

    Like the last thing I ever want to see is a plate carrier or ruck again lol.

    Ha, and I do it for fun. But I think that the plate + carrier loadout I wear in two gun is a lot lighter and less restrictive than the IOTV and full combat load. I also don’t have people shooting at me or have to worry about frag, because 2-gun in fundamentally a game.

    But even most of the vets I’ve known outside of that were generally more conservative than the general population. It could be the area I’m in; I’m in the deep south. But even when I was Illinois, the people that I knew were vets–and not the vet-bro stereotype–trended more conservative than not.

      lol you do you I guess I’m just not high speed, lol Were they active duty or retired? Also I noticed that Guard skewed more conservative than AD but don’t know why. Honestly i think that might be my dad was republican so I guess I am too but that would align the same with civilian population.
