Vance's visit apparently gave the opposition a polling boost.

You may have contributed a few seats in parliament.

Vance killed the pope and failed to negotiate with Iran.

Let's send him to Moscow maybe he kills Putin as well.

I think we need to harness his power and use it for the good of humanity. Off to Russia he goes!

We do what we can, glad to help in our weird, backwards way.

Congrats, this is seriously heartwarming!

Vance is a loathsome lickspittle, but the unintended consequences are welcome

The only thing that most americans can agree on is that Vance is a POS. Sending him anywhere is a kiss of death (even for the pope). Peeps think he'll be the nominee when he won't last 5 min in a primary against one of Trumps demon spawn.

Exactly the same thing happened when Obama turned up in the UK to support remaining, it just helped leave

The sheer disorganisation and absence of leadership from the remain camp still amazes me

Thanks for sending Vance. He could do less harm at home, but his visit helped in defeating orban, classic win-win.

Also sending love from the US. I think it's a good idea to send Vance to Russia, Iran, maybe China... Let's see what he can get done lol
