OK. I just watched Vice President Vance speak, at the convention.
He gets it. 100 percent.
Nice wife and family too.
Sorry we only get CNN here, but he gets it. Just like Trump gets it.
Good choice. Genuinely nice guy.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
So CNN really said that about the speech?
No that was my take. 🙃
Just watched his movie a few hours ago which made hearing about his grandmother and then seeing his 10 year sober mother that much more special.
Good pick Mr. President
Very happy with JDV pick, will donate small amount to campaign and FR tomorrow night.
I was pleasantly surprised with what I heard and definitely looking forward to more Mammaw stories.
Glenn Close is probably now sorry that she appeared as Memaw in the movie.
LOL
No that was my take. 🙃
You’re not supposed to change/alter source headlines. Just fyi ... per FR guidelines.
You can post a “vanity” that is a thread based on your opinion/thoughts, etc.
Mamaw was a hit, tonight. Well, Mamaw’s spirit, that is.
Sorry. It was covered live, not an actual story.
But it definitely seems important.

Watched JD’s speech ...I like him...he’s authentic. Trump chose well!
I liked him too…..like his wife as well!
Fact is, we need young white males to show up to the polls in November. This demographic is the most excited about Trump but the least likely to actually show up to vote.
Hopefully JD Vance can light a fire under their asses!
Megyn Kelly loves JD (and Trump, now too!) and she did a really heartfelt and interesting segment about him, who she met when his book first came out. She’s right - he is a very unique individual - one of the few like Trump who truly belong in these highest positions of leadership (unlike about 99% of Congress).
It’s the first 10 minutes or so:
Both president and vice-presidential Republican candidates are not life-long politicians like Joe Brandon, or diversity hires like “black” kamalaladingdong. THAT’S what America needs today.
Where did you get that crap from?
Such effort of course should be praised. But as a matter of political economy, you cannot long sustain a republic that offers no opportunity for a secure job and stable family life to people of average or even below average ability and ambition. Superior talent and effort should have a higher reward, but you can't leave the majority with no path forward. Do that and you'll turn most of the country into a ghetto.
Now he sems to have realized that. We're all in this together, and if we don't maintain a society in which ordinary people can be rewarded for playing by the rules and working hard, we're in deep trouble.
Compared to Pence he’s a Prince.
I watched on CSPAN.
Afterward, they had 3 callers — 1 Repub and 2 Dems. All three were pro-Trump/Vance.
The 2 Dems were associated with unions and were glad to see the GOP courting them. Both were very down on Dems and Biden. One said even his Dem friends were preferring Trump.
[I am glad for the Vance pick, too. I do hope Trump makes better picks than he did in ‘16.]
The real world.
Or maybe you know better than Trump does? Are you butthurt he didn't pick Tim Scott or Ben Carson?
Blue-collar white males are Trump's base. They also have a well-documented turnout problem. These guys really like JD Vance.
