As
JD Vance
struggles waning popularity with new controversy cropping up every day, the GOP insiders said Donald Trump could not be happier how JD Vance took everything on his stride and became Trump's attack dog in true sense. Initially, he was troubled as skeletons -- one after another -- started coming out of the closet as he was unaware of the most incendiary remarks that were being unearthed, a New York Times Report said.
But now Trump credits himself for the choice and compares himself to Hall of Fame football coach Vince Lombardi telling people that his eye for political taken was like Lombardi's ability to find Super Bowl caliber players.
Trump said several times that the VP candidate does not matter and people would be choosing the president. But he was aware that the young JD would withstand the media onslaught and advised him to be resilient in the face of the attack. Still the "volume and velocity of attacks from Democrats stunned even Mr Trump," the NYT report said.
"The volume and velocity of attacks from Democrats stunned even Mr. Trump. He was unaware of the most incendiary remarks that opponents were rapidly unearthing from Mr. Vance’s past, and the former president told allies that he was troubled by the idea that more comments would come to light as Democrats savaged his heir apparent as weird and anti-women," it said.
JD has a long trail of past actions catching up with him now during the most crucial time of his political journey. Some rumors, some past statements pulled him down to the status one of the most unpopular VP candidates but Trump is happy.
"Mr Vance’s relentless pace of full-throttle performances as Mr. Trump’s well-trained attack dog has pleased the former president and instilled a sense of stability inside a campaign still shaken by President Biden’s sudden exit from the race," NYT cited as the reason behind Trump's happiness.
JD's approval rating went down among women as he stood by his comments on 'childless cat ladies' and only added more to the damage.
