J.D. Vance in OKC

[bigred1]

Shouldn't we be calling him James David Bowman? That was his birth name after all.

I'm gonna be calling him Mr. Vice President before long.

“You want a pic taken with me? That’ll be $15,000.” That sounds very elitist to me - how will that play with the everyday fellow JD Vance purports to relate to?

That's why he was here. It was a fund-raising event for the campaign. Politicians have done that FOREVER.

I must not get out enough. I thought only Hollywood and sports celebs charged for pics or autographs. Well, that would make for an awkward moment if I had asked for a pic and got that as my response

He's in Gaillardia where there isnt a net worth living there less than about 10 mil. $15k is nothing more than a biscuit to those people.
Hes raising funds for the campaign. Its a pretty common thing.

You can bet some are donating the max, picture or no picture.
I think the max is $5k for a straight up donation but if hes selling you a picture, there's the loophole.

You guys have messed up a perfectly good day drinking thread.

$100,000 to be on host committee?
What's that?
Does it come with bathroom privileges?

Muhamad Ali changed his name because he said Cassius Clay was a slave name.

True, but ironic that Cassius Clay was an abolitionist.
