Another whack PDJT hire ?
Hopefully he’s not JD Pence.
Not sure who the anti-Vance people wanted, maybe Rubio?
I don’t mind the people Trump wins over, I mind those who stand behind him so they can stab him in the back. I’m glad JD is the pick.
I think this is what Trump meant by UNITY..bringing in someone who once hated his guts but got to know the real Trump and changed his mind. Heck in 2015 Trump was not my first choice, but the more I heard from him the more I liked the message and I have been team maga ever since
Here’s Vance on his turnaround. Before I had my Come to MAGA Moment, I was a neocon stooge. People wisen up.

I can understand being skeptical of Trump when he first ran for President but JD showed a lack of critical thinking when he wrote that “Trump is Hitler” stuff but I think he honestly has turned around to being a Trump Fan. Time will tell.
I had been skeptical of Trump because he donated to Ted Kennedy and didn’t convince me that he was Truly Pro-Life. Also, his sound instincts did not seem to have an underlying moral philosophy. He won me over through his.governance. Anything said byVance in 2016 could be superseded by seeing Trump in action.
He wrote a book, a good one, that is praised over several pages by every freaking left wing media source out there. I read it and it’s a typical story of Appalachian poverty. Was a best seller made into a Netflix film.
My favorite story in it occurs when his grandmother tells his grandfather not to come home drunk again. So he promptly does and passes out on the couch. Grandma pours gasoline on him and sets him ablaze, leaving Vance’s sister to put the fire out.
He has become a solid conservative and was one of Trump’s number one picks for the senate two years ago.
The libs now hate his guts. Tucker just gave an interview and said, “This guy has all the right enemies.”
St Thomas was also a doubter.
A lot can change in two years. Like the dead shooter kid was a republican 2 years ago. He never changed his party affiliation, got radicalized and MKULTRA’d, and tried to kill Trump. This is not that big of a deal, but it might have been disqualifying with me if I was picking a running mate.
Trying HARD to inject a little optimism in the JD Vance appointment I note that Reagan was once a democrat as was Trump.
People do change. Lol.........that’s about all I can say. Trump must see something he likes in the guy.
But then again, I would love to hear how he explained away the “Trump is Hitler” comment. And if Trump even realizes he said this.
The important thing is that JD Vance learned and changed his mind. Would that the world of leftists followed suit.
What I've read says he grew up in Middletown, Ohio, a town of about 50,000 not far from Cincinnati. Nothing against Vance, but I can't find this rural, hillbilly background he wrote about.
I was a bit unsure about Trump at first in 2016, but then I realized he had absolutely no fear.
Privately?
I cannot get past the NY Times fire wall.
Can someone give me the full quote, the context, and who claims Vance said this?
Thank you.
I was skeptical of Trump at first back before he was elected. All I had to go on was that he had donated to certain democrats in the past.
But.... that skepticism didn’t last long.
