If Trump Wants To Win, He Should Run With J.D. Vance (R-Ohio)

U.S. Senators invariably make for awful leaders. I don’t trust this guy Vance any further than I can throw him.

That has long been my stance as well. US senators steeped in deal-making are generally unsuited for an executive position.

Byron Donald’s born in NYC would be my pick another beautiful family.

Agree NEVER TRUST A NEVER-TRUMPER.

Hope his crew is digging deep into background checking everything is on the line with this election many powers are in the arena for the fight.

I like JD but Byron Donaldson is my pick.

We don't need a fool who thinks we need a federal $20 minimum wage.   That is more social engineering to destroy our country.

I agree. Trump will win regardless of VP pick. In my opinion, he should pick someone who is very much like he was in 2016; a non-politician, citizen who seeks the best interests of the nation and its people, Kari Lake!

Trump can win with Vance, but he can also win with several of the other candidates. The important issue is: who will carry on the MAGA movement after Trump’s term ends>

I’m starting to warm up to J.D. Vance. He may make for a strong Presidential candidate in 2028. But if people think he’ll increase Trump’s vote share by a significant amount, I think they’re mistaken. Having J.D. Vance on the stump would be having someone preaching to the choir. By and large, the people who find him appealing are people who are already Trump supporters. He may articulate the MAGA agenda well, but not in a way that will have any unique appeal to demographics that are still undecided.

Consider the source:

- Ryun was a speechwriter for President George W. Bush.[4]

- A career Republican Party operative

- He pushed for Trump to nominate Amy Coney Barrett

There is only one test of whether someone is in the establishment or not, and it is have they talked about illegal surveillance? There is a big secret there, and those in the establishment are those who were approached, and kept the secret, and will not utter the world surveillance, because if people find out about that, it will be a revolution.

Trump has talked at least some, about illegal surveillance, and opened the door to the idea there may be someone in your neighborhood assigned to know everyone there, build files on everyone there, and they will know you by sight, and will have listened in your house now and again.

Vance has never said a word, nor would he if you asked.

Very, very few of these people are any good. They know things, about stuff like 9/11, which you would never believe.

See my tagline for my writings on the subject..

I tend to agree that Vance is the choice.

Vance has a number of unique strengths that will seriously throw the Left off their game. For one thing, he can speak their language - he even wrote a touchy-feely novel and was well on his way to being a Lefty cult hero before he turned into a Republican politician.

My one worry is that he’s too good to be true - please tell me he’s not another wolf in sheep’s clothing.
