JD Vance is a good choice, better than burgum and less of an establishment politician than Rubio. However my preferred VP choice was Dr Ben Carson followed by Vivek Ramaswamy. Any way, congrats to JD Vance the incoming vice President of the United States of America.

St*pid choice.
Might well have picked Nikki Haley.

Why oh why did he have to pick another RINO?
-Lord

Did you read his Hillbilly elegy? He was in the military before going to Yale Law

JD is young, unlike Haley and co who are Establishment all through

He represent the downtrodden people that believes the most in Trump and those who believe he is their savior

Someone who had a genuine grass to grace story not those make belief lies who grew up privilege and will claim street

I am thinking he is looking at JD connection to blue collar rust belt of Ohio Michigan Pennsylvania, Wisconsin

How he is one of them not just another coastal elite

We will have a coon, uncle tom for VP.

We have the first black president and his black coon VP JD Vance!!
Vance is a good pick... Would win younger voters and also has rust belt appeal and the best part...


He's assassination-proof for Trump.

I'm sure Trump made he's reassessment after they tried to kill him.
Choose a neocon and they poison/take Trump out for he/she to take over and further their globalist agenda.

Carson was also my choice but I guess it's due to his age.

Carson is in his mid 70s so both senior citizens in same ticket would be bad especially since voters are mostly against Biden because he's too old

Watched Vance on CNN about a Month or so ago and he was asked if he would accept the outcome of the election if they lost. Dude couldn't give a straight Yes or No answer except to be beating around the bush.

Bunch of Assholes!

Yup
Part of of his allure is his connection to Peter Thiel. Trump wants his financial backing.
Instead of picking a true Blue Collar type, or a minority or a women, he picks and 'elitist' Yale law school educated California venture Capitalist. Part of the financial establishment.

lol. Find me when Harris says anything close to this.

"I go back and forth between thinking Trump might be a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he might be America’s Hitler,”

The truth is everyone above a certain IQ knows exactly who Trump is. Vance did and now has to lie about it to grift.

Yup.
He could have picked Haley. He needs women this cycle. It would help him coalesce the party. In fact, he could of picked any woman.
He could have picked a black person, help with his outreach. But, he has a mugshot, and was arrested and almost shot, so of course black people should feel the kinship already. Lol.
He just pays lip service to those groups because actually picking someone from them would upset his White Male Nationalistic base.

How he is one of them not just another coastal elite

You should look up the result sheet of his Senate election.
He won by 6 points. In solid-red, double-digit Ohio.
Anywhere else in the Midwest and he'd have lost.
He had to win that by 12+ points to create the impression that he has independent star power or favorability in the Rust Belt.
That's not what happened. He ain't hitting a home run in Michigan and Wisconsin.
This forced Rust Belt connection is tenuous at best.

The hype about Hillbilly Elegy was feverish at the time he was calling Trump Hitler and a rapist.
Pence is yet to vilify Trump to the same degree that Vance has done in the past.
I will not defend a redneck Obrigardo who changed his tone the minute it became politically expedient.
You can appoint turncoats to agencies, you don't anoint them as Heir Apparent.
How can you skip over day one loyalists like Carson and Sanders for a Peter-Thiel-Yale groupie.

That's why I said he may well have picked Nikki.
Because Haley has more electoral value in her pinky finger than Vance has in his entire constitution.
If winning is the primary consideration, you don't skip Nikki, Tulsi, Stefanik, and Rubio for Vance.

I don't buy that Vance is a changed person. I think he is an opportunist.
And if he can change his mind about Trump being Hitler, he sure as hell can change it right back when it suits him.
No different from the Mattis, Pompeo, Barr, and all the back-stabbing, smooth-talking, grimy a*holes before him.

And let's not pretend that a ticket with two white males is not tone-deaf.
It may help a little that his wife is Asian. But the VP had to be a minority and/or female.
Vance is Oz 2.0. And if Biden hadn't folded like a cheap suit during the debate and July 13 hadn't happened; this pick would have been tantamount to self-sabotage.

Lastly, something needs to be done about the Republican Party in the Midwest.
It's so hollow.

Every politician is an opportunist who would change their tune as many times as they changed clothes. Most President and VP picks are strange bedfellows who just got together for politics

Below was how Politico described Obama-Biden relationship when they were both running on the same ticket

The relationship between Barack Obama and Joe Biden grew so strained during the 2008 campaign, according to a new book, that the two rarely spoke and aides not only kept Biden off internal conference calls but refused to even tell him they existed.
Instead, a separate campaign call was regularly scheduled between the then-Delaware senator and two of Obama’s top campaign aides – “so that they could keep a tight rein on him,” write journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann in “ Game Change,” a long-awaited account of the 2008 campaign.
https://www.politico.com/story/2010/01/book-obama-biden-clashed-in-08-031302

In the same 2008, what do you think John McCain knew or had in common with Sarah Palin? That is another strange bed fellow arrangement, He admitted the vetted her for about 5 days, even Palin said she wouldn't have accepted the role if she knew better

Or what do you think of Pence an Evangelical who wouldn't even go to a pub without his wife for fear of adultery who became Vice to Trump who was a renowned playboy and probably never been to church

I still remember the Hilary and Bill visceral attacks on Barack Obama in the 2008 primary that led to Hillary crying in NH. Hillary shocked that she was losing to a greenhorn Senator threw everything even some in her campaign flirted with Birtherism which made Obama release his birth cert way back in 2008 campaign

Kamala accused Biden of supporting racists and segregationists and his position on busing yet became his vice

Nikki was a neocon, Tulsi probably not far from that, Rubio had the problem of sharing homestate with Trump, The other Burgum is almost as old as Trump same with Carson

Some of The downside of Trump was his age, lack of military experience. And being a rich guy who never really had a connection to the poor in his life given his privileged background

JD balances and helps out with that

Some decently reasoned commentary.
Except anyone who's smart who supports Trump is a grifter and opportunistic.
People like Vance are too smart to actually believe what Trump is peddling. Most of it makes sense if only you don't think about it.

If you're going to eat a frog, eat a big one.
If you're going to cheat, best be with a model.

Haley is a slam dunk. Whatever the argument is about the viability of Vance, Haley is a far more logical pick.

Bush won Ohio by 2 points in 2004 while the senate candidate won by 27 points.

Tim Ryan is a seasoned career politician, incumbent congressman and the second strongest candidate in Ohio that ran as an actual moderate in a year that republicans were put in the bullseye on abortion.
He may not add much to the ticket but he creates a great contrast to Trump's age factor and is a heir to the ticket in 2028 which is better than throwing it open by then... He also insures that populism doesn't die after Trump

Kamala Harris called Biden racist and said she actually believed her accuser in Tara Reade yet Biden chose her as running mate.

Most on the list are all opportunitists and potential backstabbers (perhaps except for Carson)... Who should Trump have chosen instead?

Kamala Harris is an Californian extremist and a weirdo but it didn't matter.
Voters view Biden unfavorable and this election would continue to be about his age and policies and not Vance's regardless.

Vance actually won a real race while Oz lost (though I don't blame for it at all) though the dynamics is different.
The downballot candidates opponents were meh and literally unknown and underfunded but the senate was top tier and heavily funded... So don't compare Vance with Oz.
Vance is an actual Ohioan and not some carpetbagger from New Jersey.

With this the deep state wouldn't want Vance in power and that assassination insurance

I love the ticket! Such a masterclass by Trump!
