Questions About Vance’s Backing and Political Path.
Posted on 10/6/25 at 8:46 am
Posted on 10/6/25 at 8:46 am
Lately, I’ve been wondering about J.D. Vance’s rise in politics, and I’d like to get other perspectives.
• Was Vance strategically put in place by particular donors, and could this have been part of a longer term plan to get him into office?
• Whose interests does he primarily serve, the people who elected him, or the groups that backed him financially?
• Where did he really come from politically, was his trajectory organic, or carefully supported by certain networks?
• Who are his biggest donors, and how much influence do they have over his decisions?
• How is Vance generally viewed by his constituents, do most see him as genuinely representing them, or as more aligned with outside interests?
A friend of mine has been sending me some things about Vance that sound a bit like conspiracy theories. I’m mainly just curious how others, especially conservatives, see him.

Personally, I really like him and he would make for a great President; however, with that being said, some digging needs to take place about his motivations, who is funding him, etc before we knight him Trump 2.0
I see JDV doing the things Trump has been hesitant to do and he is meticulous and calculating which is even better.

Nobody that gets to that level of politics gets there organically. Especially not as fast as his rise was. Does that mean it's a bad thing? No.

Look, ultimately it comes down to what you think of Peter Thiel and Palantir (CIA/deep state funded).
I would say its 100% good to question exactly what the motives are there during the formative years of AI which could destroy mankind permanently, but Thiel also backed Trump so its not as though he hasn't been backing MAGA going back to 2016 at this point.
No billionaire is giving to politicians without strings attached **cough Israel lobby cough**, but the question really is if not Vance then who from the right has the name recognition and backing to win in 2028 and how would they be better?

There will never be another Trump. Unless another billionaire with minimal skeletons exist.
JD's going to be a fine President.

My concern here, is if he will go hard against H1Bs. Whether his wife’s background gets him to be lenient against hurting India.
We need the majority of H1Bs sent back.

Vance is probably not electable because he’s too smart. We’ve definitely shown an aversion to high intelligence in our presidential candidates in this country for some time now. It’s just a sad reality. People have lower vocabulary, lower reasoning ability, etc. and they aren’t comfortable with someone who doesn’t speak on their level.

Vance is great. He was also definitely not an organic candidate. Backed big by the Thiel / Silicon Valley conservatives.
My only concern with him, is how he would handle H1B. His donors will make that their biggest ask of him, and his wife is also the daughter of Indian immigrants. The single most important policy goal is to stop the invasion of foreigners. We are at capacity of hombres, jeets and Muslims

And competence. Apparently that makes Ron Desantis unelectable.

PayPal Mafia Founders are behind this but at least he’s better than the Left Wing Nuts

Well, he got on the ticket because Don Jr. lobbying his father to have him as VP.
Jr. has stated multiple times he used all of his capital getting his father to select JD.
Unless Jr is in on the conspiracy I don’t think it hold much weight.

Exactly.
Red Flags all over the place.

Peter Thiel, Larry Ellison and Elon Musk.
This is not as bad as Reid Hoffman, Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
I like Peter, Larry Ellison and Elon more than Reid, Larry Page and Sergey.
At lease Peter, Larry Ellison and Elon are more libertarian. Reid, Larry Page and Sergey will do a lot more of the Democrat bidding than JD's funders.

I agree with this.
It doesn't matter the candidate going forward, all of them in the general election will be backed by oligarchs. I would rather JD backed by Peter, Larry Ellison and Elon than Temu Obama backed by Reid Hoffman and Soros. I know there is a huge H1B risk with JD but there is even more of an illegal immigration risk with Temu Obama and his backers.
Hopefully AI curtails JD's backers appetite for H1B visas going forward.

With all the problems in our government I've got JD Vance way down the list of worries fellas

The only people who are hesitant on JD are the Ronbots who still haven't given up the ghost. Personally myself, I think we dodged a massive bullet in running Ron and I'm very glad he did what he did when deciding to run against Trump. He, and the old guard GOP goons made the decision for us all and we should be thankful for that.
Ron is old GOP and it's painfully obvious at this point. We should be happy he let us all know about this before we went further down that road.

I am not endorsing anyone but here is my 10K ft observation.
Vance does well with the conservative base. I dont believe he moves the needle for the independent middle or minorities. Trump won because he got more minority vote than any previous GOP candidate.
Rubio I think would win more minority and women voters in a general election but I dont know if he could win the base in the primary over Vance to get the nomination.
White women will be the deciding vote next election and 60% of them have gone batshit crazy.
