@mike55
Watching the RNC on Fox News. They ran it in the headlines at bottom of page.
Goggle search now shows multiple news networks reporting same
Yep, i saw it after you posted. Thanks
J D Vance, being a "never Tumper", is to try and get non republican votes I guess. Not aure how that pick will work out, but we shall see.
I feel good about it, and certainly hope it indeed works, very well.
I agree. I hope and pray it works. If Trump doesn't win this go around, then we are done. With the damage that's already done, even if Trump wins.......the first 2 years will be bad. All the chickens are coming home to roost, chickens being all the bad things the dems have set in action!
Yes sir.
In many elections over the years, a major factor in picking the VP candidate is for the candidate to be from a state that the president candidate needs to carry. Vance is from Ohio. Republicans always need to carry Ohio to win. Nuff said.
Read a few articles on JD. Can you say Hatfield and McCoy.
Might just be the perfect person for president in 2028.
Let's see
Humble upbringing - check
Family man - check
Marine vet with gulf war experience - check
Yale law degree - check
Best selling author - check
Successful businessman - check
Has reached across the aisle and actually worked with dems - check
I don't know guys, if you compare him to Harris, he seems way overqualified!😁
Who would you rather step up into the POTUS job if necessary, him or Cackling Kamela? Bob
Has a non-causasian wife-check
We'll see if he flips in 2028 to democRATS. Using the VP to get his foot in the door.
JD VS newsom 2028. Oh wait it might be moot since they may be on the same side of the coin. Space Aliens can't invade this world soon enough.
Veteran 👍️👍️👍️
Never heard of the guy. Listening to him spout his history last night, seems like Trump (Repub party) picked a guy who would appeal to the working class to offset the 'big bucks' Trump presentation.
It seems your wish has come true. Witness D.C.,,,,, or the left coast. Working their way to the Heartland! 😉
Mr Vance is coming to a city close by next week. I might go if I'm allowed and I got nothing else to do. I've never seen a president.
We heard JD Vance along time ago on the radio with Jim Bohannon talking about his book. We really liked what we heard. Very pleased.

Military background is a plus for me.
Was given His Book. a bit of a hard start but very interesting. Was told to * it on to other folks in the wife's office.
The venue only holds 3800 so I doubt I'd get in. Local politicians and local Republican party people and their families and friends will take all the seats. He will probably fly into Roanoke anddrive down I-81to Radford, VA

Hillbilly Elegy, movie depicting JD's life from early years to 2016.
Taken from a book JD wrote and directed by Ron Howard. A bit hard for me to follow due to the flash backs.
I first watched it a few years ago, talk about from rags to riches. Makes me proud to be a hillbilly.
Kinda spooky, pay close attention and you will see the future in his life. Coincidence?
The actual book is sort of a look into the future also, and it all could come true.
My issue we will lose a recent elected good sentor
He is, way beter choice than many others
No complants from a ohio citizen on his performance
Go " Tump / Vance "
Media, Hollywood & DEMOCRATs, are scared to death & say he is more dangerous than Trump,so he must be a great choice.
My 2 cents. Most likely the best man for the job ever.
If Trumps gets elected and someone takes him, out then JD would be the man.
Go Trump/JD!
I finally got a chance to watch his RNC speech. The fella is good on the stage.
But I especially like his response to being called out for his anti-woke stance when vetting would-be American ambassadors. Instead of backtracking, instead of making excuses or justifications, he simply responded "they got me" and moved on.
And that is how it should be. You have values and ideals and you stay with them regardless.
I like this guy as VP. Excellent choice by 1-eared Don. 😁

This is from the MSM but it sounds fairly concerning.
Rachel Maddow exposes the real reason JD Vance was chosen to be Trump's running mate | Watch (msn.com)
Can you summarize? I can't bring myself to watch a Maddow video.

Basically
I just googled up several articles on J.D. Vance and Peter Thiel from not necessarily liberal publications like Forbes.
The admittedly seemingly hate-filled Maddow would have us believe Thiel turned Vance from the law and toward venture capital fresh out of college and his first three jobs were failures, then Thiel lined up some contributors and shooed Vance into Congress.
It does sometimes kind of disturbingly seem as if Trump's financial situation may not be as sound as it looks. He has gone bankrupt a few times, and he just got hit with a massive fine. What if it turned out he had been in the pocket of some cabal of billionaires and that's why he only got a few miles of wall built while wasting the money and patience devoted to the task.
If Maddow's analysis is true, it suggests there's a possibility Thiel snatched up Vance out of college and deliberately led him into three disastrous failures in finance in order to have him in his pocket. What if Vance's own firm got some of Vance's own investment capital which was then lost? What if Vance has to do what Thiel and his friends say because he's close to bankrupt and has a ruined finance career?
Ah. So she spewed more of the same. Biased, angry, and vindictive. If she says something that turns out to be true, it's certainly not from careful analysis and respectable, America-centric presentation.

@austin20 She earned that moniker with her nasty & hateful voice, let alone her crappy attitude.
