Aaron Rupar: The irony! JD Vance says Trump's VP vetting materials include a question about whether any of the prospective candidates have "committed a crime" or lied.

if you say no to lying, you're off the list

"Please see instances where I have lied or committed crimes on your behalf in Appendix A"

Both are features, not bugs.

Honestly not sure what answer they want

They want the truth! For blackmail purposes.

It's important not to outshine the main candidate in any category, including crimes & lies

Sounds like Hedley Lamar is hiring for Rock Ridge

(That's assuming the VP applicant is supposed to say yes.)

They'll take anybody (but not the Irish).

That excludes most MAGAs from the eligible pool lol

Not if the acceptable response to both questions is "yes".

Aren't those prerequisites for being involved with the trump campaign?

He doesn’t understand the concept of hypocrisy

Well, so much for that. They all lie and most are crooks and committed crimes - they just haven't been caught yet, but can bet, after November, the majority Dems in Congress will be toughening up those laws for those running for office, to make sure this contagious ... 1

Hell, yeah! Trump swears his 34 convictions and counting make him the juggernaut to beat. It stands to reason he'd want a VP with even more criminality to his credit, so Trump's hoping to find a lifelong, unrepentant, convicted but not jailed felon, JD. Do you measure up?

Need to make sure the ticket has complementary skills and experience.

If the noose fits? 😇

Well, at least we can rest assured that Trump won't try to name himself as his VP pick. He'd fail the vetting. Then again, he'd probably lie on his vetting responses.

It reminds me of the time Trump said he was his own most important policy advisor.

Donald’s looking for freely volunteered blackmail and coercion material

Maybe he just wants another criminal on the ticket.

Answering “no” is a disqualification

The correct answer to move forward for both is "yes."

I have to assume this is a test to see who can most convincingly lie about not lying.

Like, on Trump's behalf?

Trump just wants a Mini-Me.

Yeah, he doesn't understand that he's his own Mini-Me.

Perhaps criminality is considered a positive attribute.

Anything about eye liner?

😂 their jokes write themselves

It would be ironic - except the winning answer is "Yes!".

Did it say “Cool Test” at the top?

Because no criminal background = unqualified to be Trump's running mate

Trump's just trying to balance the GOP ticket. A convicted felon with a non-convicted felon.

It's only ironic if he's looking for a negative response

Trick question. Republicans, as we all know, never commit crimes. The real question is, "Have you ever been the target of a Democratic witch hunt?" If they haven't, they're RINOs.

That's just good vetting. You want your VP to complement the ticket. Trump's a felon, so you need non-felon representation. That's politics!

crookism disease is dealt with, that Trump has spread and those penalties will be even tougher. ... 2

If the answer is no, they’re disqualified!

Well, I think the answer “no” will probably be disqualifying from Agent Orange’s perspective, right?

Maybe not ironic. Maybe it’s seen as the candidate’s reverse bona fides.

Please leak these responses to the media. Please.

They only accept someone if the answer is yes

So, I guess they are supposed to lie with regard to having committed a crime…?

If they say no are they automatically eliminated since being a criminal liar is a prerequisite?
