Holy shit, pukes, that's really something...

A woman who hasn’t borne children isn’t qualified to be president, but a man found guilty of 34 felonies and judged to have committed sexual assault IS???

That’s some heavy shit you’re smoking; don’t burn your fingers!

Never mind he has no clue how to come up with the money to house, feed, clothe, and educate all those kids.

He's a MAN, he shouldn't have to think about this stuff!

of man's golden rod, either with contraception or abortion, and that's what makes us Jezebels, temptresses of poor, innocent men, causing their seed to be wasted....or something. I'm really not up on misogynist death cult sermons these days, having stomped away from all that shit, too.

That's the connection, it's the old madonna/whore dichotomy, as though men are too stupid to see any other role for adult human beings born female. Well, the religious ones like JD really are that dumb and that's where the connection is.

He's angry at his mother for being an addict and abandoning him.

There's therapy for that but Vance chose to take the Republican route and blame all women.

Tells us just how insane and depraved our political discourse has become. Simply outrageous. What I want to know from a Presidential candidate is will you do right by the people of this nation, fight for those without voice and privilege, will you respect our American institutions like Democracy, and will you exude the good part of being American while not ever showing the bad part of being an American. In short, how will you lead, where will you take our nation into the future, what kind of people and planet will our next President usher in. At no point did "have had a child" ever come up under the requirements, nor should it.

Republicans are backwoods rednecks, fueled up on hyper-Jesus and a lot of hate. What ever happened to actual policy proposals in how THEY would lead this nation?

...like George Washington and James Madison, who never had kids of their own, but adopted the kids of their spouse. Ok for a man, not for a woman?

What a despicable POS. The GOP is just full of these misfits

That ran for President. So it's just if you're a woman? Vote Blue.
