“What I don’t get is why he’d be viewed *unfavorably* by alleged independents.”
I believe it’s common knowledge that pollsters generally under-sample GOP voters. Knowing this helps make a little more sense to me.
Consider this: LBJ, HST, Coolidge, Roosevelt, Arthur, and Johnson were VPs that became president through death, before they had the chance.
I can't think of one Democrat "likeable across vast swaths."`
Can you?
That and I believe that most “independents” are really democrats. If you can’t figure it out by now, then you are clueless, hence democrat. But I repeat myself.
Well, we did already have a Witch as first lady in the 90s, so perhaps Hindu won’t be a stretch.
The Dougster, aka Mr Kackala Harris, was Jewish. Obama (”My Muslim faith”) made it through.
Or maybe there’s a difference with those ones... something... maybe.. oh, yeah— “Democrat.”
The explanation is very simple. The Advocate is a far left progressive newspaper. They are very heavy into LGBT issues.
They lie. But to quote Mark Twain, "liars, damn liars, and statisticians. It is believed this was originally from Benjamin Disraeli.
Elect Vance to the presidency and make former President Trump the new head of D.O.G.E. Works for me.
JD Vance is owned by Peter Theil and Palantir Technologies.
If you understood Palantir, you would be worried. They are 100X worse than Snowden warned us about.
Is that why he was chosen to be VP?
How did he go from being Hollywood liberal to Silicon Valley?
What could Trump do for an encore? He could travel to the remaining states needed for a Convention Of States and offer to be the Chairman once it was called. That would put him up there with George Washington who chaired the original Convention.
Boy do we really need a convention of the states first thing on the agenda TERM LIMITS!!!
Balanced Budget. It only needs 5 more states to happen and once there was a Convention on that everyone would see that the world didn’t end so another call would be much easier.
His prospects began and end with Peter Thiel.
Billionaire Peter Theil hired JD Vance out of college, then funded his business venture. Then funded his senate run in Ohio.
Finally, Theil met with Trump and asked him to pick JD as his VP.
Elon Musk was replaced by Peter Thiel as CEO of X.com, which was renamed PayPal in June 2001 and went public in 2002.
Musk owned X.com and Thiel owned Confinity. The two merged and became PayPal.
Thiel is German born, Musk is South Africa.
Gawker magazine outed Thiel as being gay. He couldn’t sue for defamation as it was true. So when Gawker published Hulk Hogan’s sex tapes, Thiel funded Hogan’s lawsuit against Gawker, winning over $100 million.
If JD becomes president he will be the most articulate and eloquent president since Theodore Sorensen.
Nathan: That is a GREAT observation. Enjoyed Theodore’s Pulitzer!
Trump wouldn’t be serving three consecutive terms. He will run if he wants to, and the SC will find a way for him to do it legitimately.
