OPINION : With Biden out, Vance may be the wrong pick for Trump
Politico ^ | 7.22.2024 | Jamie Dettmer

Posted on 07/23/2024 4:22:58 AM PDT by libh8er

… U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the White House race may well turn 2024 into the Year of the Woman — namely, that of Vice President Kamala Harris who, armed with the outgoing president’s endorsement, can now be considered the front-runner to replace him atop the Democratic ticket.

Truth is, if Harris is successful in getting the nod from the Democratic Party, much of the subsequent election campaign is likely to domestically focus on abortion and women’s rights. Trump already has a problem with women voters — polls have consistently shown that the proportion of women planning to vote for him this November is smaller than those who did in 2020. And Vance has nothing to offer Trump on this score — quite the reverse, he risks compounding his boss’s problem.

Presumably, Trump chose Vance as his VP candidate largely to fire up the MAGA base and boost the Republican ticket in Rust Belt states. But that was a choice made when Biden was still heading the Democratic ticket. Now that he’s not, Vance may well become a liability.

He’s pretty much the right pic, I think, for anybody who is the VP.

Remember, he knows how to bicker with an Indian woman.

BUT Politico lives to support Romney
on either ticket.

Vance was and is the best pick. WHy would anyone start nay saying? What motive could there be...other than weakening the ticket.

Reading Democrat talking points is not journalism.

Vance is just fine.

Besides, if Trump had picked Charlie Brown for VP, I would still vote for him, particularly against Kamala.

lol…the left always makes it about “skin color, gender” etc. I believe we’re past that. I’m tired of these racists on the left making everything about external looks instead of policy, etc.
I know Americans are stupid but more are realizing that the DEI bs is just that…BS!

So Trump never thought...Wow...what if Brandon cops out and we're dealing with the laughing clown instead...

If not JD....who and why??

It IS Politico, after all! If they say it might be wrong, I conclude it must be right!

Vance helps Trump with the blue wall....Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

Pollutico probably wanted Trump to pick NitWit Mitt or globalist Nikki Haley.

LOL! The talking point is apparently going out for the media to push this narrative. I saw the same elsewhere last evening. In other words, they are worried about young Vance and are ticked that one of the GOP establishment members wasn’t picked as VP. They would have preferred Burgum, or better yet, Haley.

For advice on the person who should be in the GOP VP slot, the opinion editor at POLITICO Europe is the first place I go to..... NOT!

Politico seemingly does not comprehend that with the nomination of Vance the Republican Party has completed a metamorphosis. No longer the Party of the McCain, Romney, and Bush cabal, it is now led by the younger Trumps, and young politicos like Vance. A similar event occurred when Goldwater cleaned house, and then again when Reagan did likewise.
