At the very least, it helps his chances of surviving his second term.
I would have chosen Youngkin also and not taken a Senator that is conservative out of the senate. DeWine will probably replace him with a RINO. Youngkin can’t run again so he would not be missed. Oh well I like JD as well he would be more loyal
Yep, need a helping hand in the swing states, securing many of them will make this a landslide.
If Trump dies, will Vance pick conservative judges? Will Vance be considered an upgrade to Trump by those who hate him? I’m amazed at how many don’t think there’s a real chance of Trump getting offed during his second term. Trump is ahead and Biden is barely surviving, which gave him more options. You don’t want someone obnoxious or with a bad record, but you DO want someone who will pick good judges should bad things happen.
Solid....
Trump didn’t select Vance. The GOP establishment selected him, and he is probably the best you’re going to get from them.
It would be good if Vance was able to talk freely about why he came around to Trump - if that would help bring in people like him who need to understand that under Biden we’ve lost what America has always been. Or at least what America has always stood for even if we haven’t executed it perfectly.
Heard you twice...quit whining. Does your wife make you pee sitting down?
I’m hoping those rumors are wrong
Could have been much worse. This pick will draw in younger voters and could mean that this will be the first Republican ticket in decades to win voters younger than 30.
Literally the only thing I like about him is he is a Ukraine war skeptic.
Look at it this way..Kamala Harris called Biden a RACIST to his face and what did Biden do, he picked her as his Vice President so even though Vance has said some anti Trump things in the past if this works than its a win
I don’t completely trust him, but if he’s genuine, he should be okay. I doubt he’ll bring Trump additional votes, but he probably won’t turn people off either.
Brown is the only Democrat to win statewide office in the past 14 years in Ohio.
Good point. Might see some attack ads using some of Vance’s words but really, who is even influenced by ads these days?
So was I in early summer 2016. Then I was hit across the head with the proverbial 2x4 and have been on the Trump train ever since. It happens, okay?
How about Tulsi for Sec. of Defense?
Interesting statement from someone using the tagline “trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding”. I’m trusting God on this. Bible says God puts the rulers in place and removes them as He sees fit based on His sovereign will. Jesus boldly told Pilate he only had the power to save or condemn Him to death because God gave him that power. Don’t forget even wicked Pilate saw this as true and was “even more afraid”. Juuuust sayin.
Memo to Ohio Governor Squish DeWine: though you despise any Republican who is to the right of Mitt Romney or Chris Christie, your job is to appoint Jim Jordan to the Senate to replace Vance (if a replacement is required).
As far as Jordan being “too important” in the House leadership to spare him from that role — bullshit.
As the token conservative among the RINO House leaders, Jordan is about as useful there as tits on a bull. He’d make a great Senator unless he’s so used to getting his marching orders from RINOs that he becomes a Mitch Bitch. I don’t think he’d do that; Vance didn’t.
