Who is J.D. Vance and why is he qualified to run the country if the unthinkable were to occur?

Unlike career politicians who often remain rigid in their views, Vance's ability to adapt and grow is a valuable trait for a leader.

Vance's military service as a Marine Corps Iraq combat veteran adds another layer to his qualifications. His firsthand experience in combat gives him a unique perspective on military and foreign affairs, something that is often lacking in career politicians.

Furthermore, his legal background, with a dual undergraduate degree in political science and philosophy from Ohio State University and a J.D. from Yale Law School, equips him with a solid understanding of the law and governance.

Same qualifications as Obama had.......................

It would be impossible to be worse than Biden and Harris.

That’s right. No way it could be worse.

And JD Vance loves his country.

I think that is conveniently lost on the Donk mafia media

[Stravinsky]

That’s nice. How would he be on judges?

[Common Sense 101]

Because he’s not a libtard...

RE: Same qualifications as Obama had.......................

Better, I would say. He knows first hand what it’s like to be in the military. Plus, he is NOT going to be President immediately ( unlike Obama ). He has time to gain experience in office ( unlike Obama, who was thrust into the position immediately ).

[GMMC0987]

Well, he’s no Kamala.

[silverleaf]

Well, he’s Yale Law so…
At least he knows the role of a judge in our Republic, and its limits

[heartwood]

Same qualifications as Obama had

_______

Minus state legislature. Plus military service. Better writer. Less of a cushy childhood, more transparent college years.

I hope he has four good years to study up!

[Zathras]

Biden, Jimmy Carter, Obama.
It would be hard to be worse than any of them.

He is a veteran though which helps a little with life experience.

“Vance was raised in Middletown, Ohio, and enlisted in the Marine Corps after graduating high school in 2003. He served a four-year enlistment as a combat correspondent, during which he escorted civilian press and gathered information and wrote articles for a military news service.”

Hmmm Obama was a Mairne Corp Iraq War vet and a venture capitalist like Vance?

Odd how 0 left those details out of his autobiography.

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) is leading a group of Senate conservatives who unveiled a pledge Thursday to block the fast-tracking of President Biden’s judicial nominees and U.S. attorney nominations in “response to the current administration’s persecution” of former President Trump.

“Our side” is already throwing the negatives into the wind. Republicans are their own worst enemy.

[Leep]

They are the unthinkable that somehow got elected to the highest office in America..,

Abraham Lincoln served ONLY one term in the United States House of Representatives from 1847 to 1849, representing Illinois’ 7th congressional district before running for President. His only Federal experience.
