What does Vance bring?

Voting wise he’s probably the most onboard with the MAGA platform of any senator right now.

There are others who are more socially conservative, but Vance has an 80 on his freedom score (higher than Ted Cruz) whereas Tim Scott had a 68.

Scott also has known deep ties to the GOPe wing whereas Vance has been about as loyal to Trump since 2020 as anyone in congress outside of Gaetz, MTG and Boebert.

And why is anyone worried about that anyway? Are you actually concerned that independents won’t vote for Trump because his VP candidate said negative things 8 years ago?


Seriously. Our current VP called our current President a racist and a rapist leading up to the last election

He should be using that type of rhetoric against the Dems and now he can’t because his own VP called him Hitler

My concern is why would he say that crap to begin with? Anyone who compares Trump to Hitler is an idiot. I guess you can use the immature excuse.

This is a typical Trump unforced error…

Not even the lackluster and questionable (from a loyalty perspective) pick, but the timing too. Why deflate all the energy he had going into the RNC? Lame

If there ever was an election where the VP nominee is completely irrelevant electronically, this is it. There is not a single voter in America voting for or against Trump because of his VP pick.

And, selfishly, I get to keep my guv another 2 years

The commercials and talking heads that will highlight all Vance has said.


The need to address that from the Trump campaign which they haven’t done yet because he was just announced.

Tactically I don’t see what Vance brings to the table

Look at the last sentence in Trump's announcement. Vance has high appeal in the Midwest States that will determine this election.

So your distinct inability to meme extends to your failure to identify a humorous tweet, too? Fascinating.

And he didn't say those things while running against Trump.

Candidates say lots of shite trying to win campaigns. Vance wasn't running against Trump.


Sounds like he was a whiny complainer. I don't get the comments at all. Especially if he wasn't running against him. I also don't get how anyone can say they would hold their nose and vote for Hillary. Even the most anti-Trump people I personally know would never vote Hillary.

And what in his background makes you think that he can do this? If he picked RFK, that angle would have been obvious, but not JD Vance.

How scary!

I’m sure millions of Trump voters will change their minds now.

By the way, it’s an asset to have a VP candidate who changed their mind on Trump, and can explain why. Not a detriment.

But he looks like a pharmaceutical salesman who is one heartbeat away from being the Leader of the Free World.

I didn't want Trump at all for that very reason but here we are. Vance brings a lot to the table that people on this board won't be able to recognize. This pick isn't for you and he is nowhere close to being a neocon

I don't think it was an error. He won't be hurt by this. It's more a missed opportunity IMO.
