>> I respect Hinderaker and his take on this is concerning. What do you all think?
I frequent PowerLine Blog. I have a great deal of respect and alignment with Steve Hayward and Lloyd Billingsly. Johnson and Hinderaker, not so much, but they’re ok on most subjects.
Not all that long ago Hinderaker was a devout NeverTrumper, but as Trump ran away with the nomination he changed his tune; he’s not stupid. But like some former NeverTrumpers here on FR, although he has grudgingly switched over to backing Trump, he never misses an opportunity to second-guess everything Trump does.
In his July 9th piece (https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/07/trumps-vp-who-will-it-be.php) Hinderaker gives his take on who he thinks President Trump will pick for veep, and of course he also weighs in on who it *should* be in his opinion. I don’t agree with his preferences, but he supports his position and it’s neither vacuous nor impulsive.
Bottom line, to me Hinderaker is more of an asset than a liablity to the conservative cause.

Wow ... isn’t that the truth!
Well said.
This nut wanted Rubio. He is all in on Ukraine and anything neocon. That would have been an awful choice.
“” Of the supposed three finalists, my favorite by a wide margin is Marco Rubio. “”
Second was Burghum.
Hindraker wants experienced swamp critters. fed swamp or state swamp doesn’t matter.
