Most presidential hopefuls want their running mate to help them win states they might not be able to take on their own and share the load on the campaign trail, but Donald Trump's pick JD Vance has only managed to make headlines for a slew of embarrassing faux pas and his inability to interact with other human beings without being the weirdest most awkward person on the planet.

From pissing off Taylor Swift and most of the internet by calling women "childless cat ladies" to having a rumor started about him that he once had sexual relation with a couch (and another one that insinuated he likes dolphin porn) to making up hateful lies about Haitian immigrants and then admitting to it, Vance seems to have a knack for putting his foot in his mouth and making himself look like a fool.

As much as he tries (and tries and tries) to brand himself as an everyman, he frequently appears to lack the ability to connect with other human beings. His jokes fall flat, his attempts at humanizing himself through conversations with regular people are cringe-worthy, and he just comes across as an all-around awkward and WEIRD guy. And while awkwardness can be endearing, with Vance, it veers heavily towards uncomfortable.

The secondhand embarrassment is real, but it's hard to feel any sympathy for a guy who thinks women only have value as mothers and who peddles conspiracy theories to a base that's often too happy to fall for them.

So instead, let's take a journey through Vance's most humiliating moments on the campaign trail so far as we have a good cackle.
