My response on that subject is, does anyone recall how all the Democrats were saying that Barack Obama was qualified to be president because he had been a community organizer?
I think Trump thought it over very carefully.
I don’t know what Trump is planning exactly, but assume Vance will play a role.
I’m in.
Or the blessed Zero.

Hey now. Don’t discount the role of a paid political agitator in Chicago while being friends with a terrorist.
Still don’t care. And he was against more money...
Conservative Inc. Is big mad. PERFECT CHOICE.
Good point.
Conventional “wisdom” is going to put us in a box if we’re not careful.
I know I’m not disappointed!
dots or feathers?
I partially disagree with Hindraker:
That he has only been in the Senate for two years might be a saving grace: Maybe in two years, “The Big Club That WE Ain’t In.” hasn’t been able to completely corrupt him.
I’ve long held a policy of not liking to vote for Senators, because after a while, even the best of them, after they have been in the Senate they become like Frat Bros, who love their least liked Fraternity Brother more than they do their own most loved outsider. Even after they are out of the Senate, they will lie, cheat steal, and some of them even willing to kill to protect another ‘club member’.
In my old life, I had been friends with two U.S. Senators, Both of them were great, honest and honorable guys: “Mister Smiths” before they went to D.C. But by their second campaign, they had been corrupted and no longer much cared about the folks back home. And beyond my personal experience, you can see it with nearly every other Senator in the last many decades.
I hope you are right.
That was a freaking body blow when he said Chamber of Commerce and the Business Council were nothing but Unions for the rich.
It’s not gonna hurt to have the Teamsters on our side. UAW won’t be far behind. And young black men are exploding for Trump right now. 50 cent gave him a big tribute on stage last night. The dam has broken...
And with new constituencies, cheating gets VERY tough. Some of them have reputations of bad reactions to rip offs. And the cheaters will have no clue about who is undercover.
used to, they could trust a rapper or a young hip hop fan. They could trust a Teamster. Now.... maybe not.
My Great- Grandfather founded the Iron Workers Union in NYC. He would have been astounded to see a Union Leader speaking Prime Time at a Republican Convention. Trump has turned the GOP into a multiracial working and Middle Class party.
TRUTH....
“he openly admitted he was not a fan of Trump in 2016. And that’s all right.”
I’m not so sure.
The interviewer should have politely and respectfully asked him “why?”
Bet he would not have had a good answer.
None of them do.
I think we are gonna hear a LOT of stories like about your Great Grandpa.
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
I think the author of this piece (John Hinderaker) should go back to raking every Hinde he encounters.
JD Vance is the perfect running mate for Trump.
>>What did Hinderaker think of President Trump when he first was going to run?
Hinderaker has never been a Trump fan. Here’s an example from January, after DeSantis threw in the towel:

But he has come around. He doesn’t like Trump personally but he has never withheld his respect for the good things President Trump did in his first term.
