I don't know anything about Vance other than he has supporters and detractors on FR. But I respect Hinderaker and his take on this is concerning. What do you all think?

It’s a done deal now, can’t be worse than Pence by an order of magnitude.

Vance is thoughtful, intelligent and interesting. We need someone who will go on the offensive. Would you rather have Pence?

Hinderaker always aligns with conventional wisdom, were exactly has conventional wisdom gotten the RNC?

If not for Trump’s unconventional approach we would have seen Hillary as president, so while I respect his analysis I always take it with a grain of salt.

What did Hinderaker think of President Trump when he first was going to run? Just curious.

So we lose a valuable Senate seat and he will probably be replaced by a dem.

It’s pretty disappointing.

Nope. He’s articulate on policy where Trump isn’t. A bridge to the younger generation. He could be the Pied Piper of the next generation of conservatives. Then again he may not. Just look at what the MSM got away with in their treatment of Dan Quayle.

Where to begin. He's complaining Vance only has 2 years political experience. That a major plus you derp.

Ask yourself how many years of political experience Trump had?

At 39, Vance is too young...with less than two years in the Senate as his only political office, he has nowhere near the experience that a VP should bring to a ticket.

Richard Nixon was 39 and had less than two years in the Senate when he was elected vice president--and he proved to be one of our best vice presidents.

Tucker Carlson Reveals Stunning Insights on J.D. Vance

“Every bad person I’ve ever met in a lifetime in Washington was aligned against JD Vance.”

Now, that’s saying something.

For this reason, Tucker thinks people should be “thrilled” about this VP pick.

What’s extraordinary about Vance, Tucker emphasizes, is that “He’s like one of the only members of the Senate with a happy marriage.”

Carlson also observed that the power-hungry “elite” despise Vance, not for personal reasons, but because they find him “harder to manipulate and slightly less enthusiastic about killing people.”

I don’t think Vance helps or hurts Trump in terms of getting votes.

Liberals hate it and that’s a great thing.
Breaking the youth dem love is good and western PA is where it may all come down to this time.
Trump is going to win anyway and Vance will have his chance to rise up to be next in line. Will see what he has in him. He will smoke Harris in a debate. I also like that he’s been around the east coast elites and is unimpressed. I know the feeling. It’s liberating when you figure it out. That’s in him.

Vance is a learner. In the inerview Hannioty did with hin in Wisconsin at the shidig tonight, he openly admitted he was not a fan of Trump in 2016. And that’s all right. But he also declared he was going to support the Trump platform and be prepared to step in for him when he had too much on his plate. And that’s what is expected of him.

He is a self made old school conservative that has every chance of being a good number 2 and pushing the senate in the direction it needs to go after all these years of bleary politics in there.

Trump made his pick. It is what it is. Our choice in November is the communist party or Trump. Roll with what you have instead of what you want.

Vance is a very good man and would/will make an excellent vice-president.

However, I don’t think the Senate should be deprived of his talents, most especially considering the proclivity of Ohio to elect RINOs and the shortage of senators of his ability to submit needed bills.

Karl Rove is upset over Vance being chosen. That’s enough proof for me to support it.

Vance, who is unknown to the general public

So has Hindraker never heard of Hillbilly Elegy? Vance is very well-known to the general public.

Hindraker is not as smart as Trump. He nailed it on this. Tonight the convention was laser focused on America’s middle class. He is a classic of the middle class. He was an enlisted Marine and first in his family to go to college.
Then the Teamsters came out and gave the globalists and GOPe a solid body blow. The black community has flocked to Trump. 50 cent gave him a shout out.

Hindracker is badly out of touch. This ain’t the year for Chamber of Commerce, Globalism, Ukraine, exporting jobs, etc.

He needs to get with the program.

As long as Vance “gets after it” he’ll be okay by me. Pence had more experience and proved to be a huge disappointment.

I think John H. Needs to look at JD and his future contribution to America. JD gets it and is in a great position to carry it forward.
