Donald Trump has picked Ohio senator J.D. Vance as his running mate, choosing a grassroots favorite ahead of more seasoned political operators.
The former president left it until the last possible moment, using all his showman skills to leave the world guessing, before opting for 39-year-old Vance after the Republican National Convention had already begun in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Vance swept to national attention when he published his bestselling memoir 'Hillbilly Elegy,' in 2016, the year Trump was elected president.
He has been a senator for less than two years but has established himself as one of the fiercest defenders of Trump’s 'Make America Great Again' agenda, especially when it comes to foreign policy, trade and immigration.
The former venture capitalist and U.S. Marine had initially been critical of Trump.

Telling someone to get off meth? How many times have you claimed Trump was not running this year because he was, in fact, serving his second term and Biden had never been sworn in? How many times did you cite as a source a man who claims his mother was an alien and that he had an affair with an alien? Stated that it was "all true" that the Galactics were coming from outer space to impose a "Quantum Financial System"? Etc.?
Yeah, and I had to native Indians in my grad program who admitted to me they cheated and they completely helped each other as roommates, as well. I got along with both of them and made them think about why cheating hurts them and all of us.
I didn’t cheat and they were impressed. However, they finished above me in our program.
Guess I’m not MAGA.
Yalies never been a favorite of mine.
I am pro-life by actual actions. My only point was, what happens when democrats are given opportunity to exploit abortion restrictions. I prefer to win elections, because no matter how high moral principles one has, losing election is accompanied by loss of all power to change anything.
Well, at least the governor of Ohio is a republican and hopefully pick a conservative for his replacement.
Problem is, Ohio senate race is close and hopefully a pick up in the other seat.
So why are Indians earning higher incomes than any other ethnic group in USA?
“Well, the pro-life movement is officially dead in the Republican party”
There is zero truth to this.
nick, we are no longer a republic.
Until that changes, we should ALL be SINGLE issue voters.
Restoration of the republic comes FIRST.
Every, and I do mean EVERY, other issue is MOOT.
FWIW, I don’t like the pick. To put it mildly.
But I do have faith in Trump.
So you know what I just did?
I danged well put my money where my mouth is.
We can argue over everything else AFTER OUR REPUBLIC IS RESTORED.
Read his book. You will be impressed with his love of country, tough life story, worked his way through college, enlisted in the Marines, Yale graduate, wonderful writer and communicator. It shouldn’t have been close for Trump to choose him.
Our governor. Dewine is a crying rino. I don’t expect a good replacement to support Pres Trump in yhe senate
What would make you think he would?
He is pro-wall, anti-illegal immigration. Very strong on this.
Just because he married a girl (born in San Diego) who is of Indian heritage?
A girl, I note, who was a top student her whole life, very accomplished, worked for Justice Kavanaugh, and gave it up to be a traditional wife.
lol, why else would it be called “Middletucky”?
Never Trumper in the house (again) ...
Trump has secured his legacy as the most self-defeating POTUS in history. It’s 2016-2020 all over again - buckle up.
“Are you proud of your founders who wanted America to be a nation for WHITE citizens ONLY? I am!”

“Vance has a DEI wife.”
Can you imagine a Senate with Vivek and Kari Like in it? They'll have to escort Schumer and McConnell straight to the retirement home. :)
She was born and raised in San Diego, California.
So you hate people from San Diego?
If you say so. I think your posts tells different story.
Best way to find out about JD Vance is to read his memoir Hillbilly Elergy. I just ordered a copy. Dial down the hysteria already. Geez, I thought I was on Democrap Underground!
Sounds great to me. :)
We have our companies find people willing to undercut Americans for the same job. They often can't do it, like my own Indian manager, but once in, they help all companies prove they aren't racist, for DIE stats.
They love having compliant people of a non-white race who work for less for a guaranteed five years.
What's hard to understand from that? Both spouses always work, as a rule, usually as developers, first.
