plausible scenario. i do hope he wins nevada and the rust belt if only for better margins in congress. but a win is a win.   burgum is also in deep with a similar cabal, you know. he's a ms graduate and worked in venture capital projects just like vance. he's on record praising gates and his various projects even within nd. i don't see an inch of difference between the two, save for burgum at least not marrying outside of his race. that's a point in his favor. there are also retards that hated him simply for his wef association, but most people at the top of the party associate with the wef, so i don't buy that being a big problem. i think you're overestimating how much of an impact vance has had on the race. it's true, vance provided no headwinds, but again, i do not see any other potential vp candidate providing any meaningful boosts in support as well. there are no obvious 'well, he should have gone with them'. there are a lot of if's and maybe's. we can go back to burgum. nd is less of a battleground than even oh. at least oh has a competitive senate race and two house races that could flip. nd has nothing. as a comparison, look at walz. you want to talk about someone dragging a campaign down, he's right there with actual controversy affecting demographics the campaign is trying to win over. if you want to hate vance, that's fine. i do not like him. he's a phony, and i agree with that sentiment.
