DC insider shoots down 'desperate' JD Vance's presidential dreams: 'No natural skills'

Longtime campaign adviser Mark McKinnon burst into laughter on Tuesday morning when the subject of Vice President JD Vance running for president came up.McKinnon, who has worked with politicians on both sides of the aisle, was joined in his laughing by Jim Messina, once known as President Barack Obama’s “fixer.”Appearing on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” to discuss Donald Trump’s increasingly mysterious peace deal with Iran, the conversation took an off-ramp into discussing awkward politicians who proved to be easily defeated at the polls.After “Morning Joe “ co-host Joe Scarborough brought Vance’s interview about the peace deal on Monday where he implied the Revolutionary Guard would be easier to deal with than the previous Iran leadership, Messina quipped, “You say to yourself, ‘Oh my god, what was he thinking?’ Mark McKinnon is sitting over here giggling because he'd love to make an ad against that clip. It is remarkably bad politics.”“That's like, that clip is like when I first saw [former Secretary of State] John Kerry windsurfing, right? That ad made itself in 10 seconds,” the laughing McKinnon interjected.“This is why I'm just so far off the JD Vance train. Like this guy will not be the next president of the United State,” Messina predicted.“I agree with you 100 percent,” McKinnon offered. “I mean, that guy just has no natural skills. I mean, I think the coin of the realm in politics these days on either side is just pure authenticity. Is this person like, real? Can I believe him? He has none of that, not an ounce.”As he added, “He is so wanting and desperate,“ Messina interrupted with, “Correct. He makes Al Gore seem like, you know, a combination of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.” - YouTube youtu.be
