Trump needs a true fighter and a real friend in his corner as his running mate — and there’s only one man who fits the bill.
Jan. 20, 2025, will mark the first day of the most important four years of our lifetimes. That’s the day President Trump will place his hand on a Bible, take the oath of office, and end the disasters Joe Biden created at home and abroad. It’s the day the effort to save America will truly begin.
President Trump is undoubtedly the man for this moment, but as our 47th president, he will face even harsher challenges than he did as our 45th. The media, the deep state, the Democrats, and, yes, even some establishment Republicans will fight harder and dirtier than they ever have before to stop Trump from implementing his America First agenda.
With the stakes high and many powerful forces standing against him, Trump needs a true fighter and a real friend in his corner as his running mate. He needs someone who will have his back, especially when the going gets tough, who’s smart, effective, and a true believer on policy.
There’s only one man who fits the bill: Sen. J.D. Vance.
The Ohio Republican has proven himself time and time again as one of Trump’s strongest allies. He’s a ruthlessly effective messenger, especially on hostile networks, and would perform strongly against Kamala Harris in a debate. He’s stood up to the globalists who want America’s sons and daughters to fight other nations’ wars. He’s in lockstep with Trump on tariffs, trade, and economic policy. And he won’t surrender, as far too many Republicans have, on border security, illegal immigration, and protecting American workers.

I could not agree more.
What i think is not terribly important but Burgum is unknown to me and many in the thread last night compared him to Romney!!
Burgum is an out of touch elite-ist pretending to get it.
And he doesn’t bring Trump a single vote that Trump doesn’t already have.
Agreed on all counts and let me add, the Deep State would fear Vance at least as much if not even more than Trump. Ergo, they would never try anything if Vance were the running mate. If it were a RINO stooge like Tim Scott or Marco Rubio however, Trump would be dead within a year. These people will stop at nothing to maintain their power and their positions.
His biggest plus would be as President of the Senate when the pubbies take it back.
Other than that I see him as a bit polarizing to the majority who do not follow politics except from Oct. to Nov every 4 years. There Tulsi Gabbard might have an advantage.
Trump’s polling advantages now will disappear as the election gets closer. He really needs every single ballot he can win.
Will read the article later, but the headline should read: Whoever wants to be vice-president should run with Trump.
Some Harvard guy from Cincinnati pretending to be a hillbilly.
And I don’t want to see an Ivy League LAWYER anywhere near the White House.
Read Vance’s background. A military guy and Ivy League lawyer is exactly what the “Deep State” wants in a position of power.
You’re right.
Yale, not Harvard.
You’re also right - same difference.
I’m leaning towards Dr. Ben Carson. I think he proved his loyalty during President Trump’s first term, and being born in Detroit, he would give President Trump an excellent chance to win Michigan.
I was just thinking the same thing. If The GOP let him be a Senator chances are he’s not the one we need.
“If The GOP let him be a Senator chances are he’s not the one we need
Very logical.
If we were voting on who has the prettiest eyes, he might the guy. But we’re not. He’s the guy who has viciously trash-talked Trump for years. If he’s PDJT’s pick, then Trump is beyond stupid.
I sorta-kinda agree, which is why I want Trump to take him, because I don't want him representing me in the Senate. Vance is a phony, or to put the best face on it, naive on so many levels, most notably macroeconomics and foreign policy. He had his seat bought for him by Peter Thiel, and that's the only place where his loyalty lies. I too don't trust him any farther than I can throw a Buick. Supposedly pro-Trump, (he wasn't always), but the first thing he did when he landed in DC was to kiss McConnell's....aah....ring. The veep slot is perfect for him; he does good photo-ops, and he can be Trump's attack dog during the campaign. Once in office he is essentially powerless, and AFAIC that's a good thing.
“I’m leaning towards Dr. Ben Carson.”
Agree. He might be the only one who appreciates who Trump really is. Seems like a small incident, but BC has mentioned the debate where Trump politely waited for BC to go on stage, while Jeb, et al., breezed right past him.
I know that doesn’t qualify him for the VP spot, but if unwavering loyalty to PDJT is important — which it is — I think he’d get it from BC.
Nope. Leave him in the Senate where he is needed more. Besides, he does nothing to build Trump’s base.
“Some Harvard guy from Cincinnati pretending to be a hillbilly.”
Right. I seem to recall some scuttlebutt about Vance’s book where he went all “aw shucks” hillbilly and misrepresented himself as one of the little people. Much like Lunchbox PedoJoe “from Scranton”.
I’m going to give Trump some latitude for deal making with the sorry GOP and oligarchy. I wish we had a party that actually represented us.
