Summary
Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance faced intense backlash after calling Vice President Kamala Harris “trash” during a rally in Atlanta, a comment that MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace described as a major misstep.
Wallace and other commentators noted that such rhetoric, following Vance’s past controversial remarks about “childless cat ladies,” could alienate female voters—a demographic the Republican ticket already struggles with.
The “trash” comment is part of a broader trend among Trump’s supporters, who have recently used “garbage” imagery in their rhetoric.
Exactly, just look at the results. Trump has done so many despicable things, and has said so many horrible things, yet it doesn’t matter for them.
But on the Dem side, if a candidate is not X or Y enough, then part of the voter base stays at home whining, to punish their party - though at the end they only end up punishing themselves.
