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 nice. How would he be on judges?
Because he’s not a libtard...
Well, he’s no Kamala.
Biden, Jimmy Carter, Obama.
It would be hard to be worse than any of them.
“Our side” is already throwing the negatives into the wind. Republicans are their own worst enemy.
Required qualifications:
1. Meet 12th Amendment eligibility standard
* Natural Born Citizen
* 35 years of age.
That’s all.
The “unthinkable” that they almost pulled off this weekend.
While I see Vance as a risk because I don’t believe his brief record since being reborn as MAGA has earned our trust, he has earned Trump’s trust. All the arguments made in this piece are true. He is young, has a compelling story, and IMHO, younger voters will relate to him much more than yet another boomer.
I would add that he is likable, charismatic, thinks quick, is articulate, and will be an outstanding salesman for Trump and the Trump agenda. He will likely be sent out for frequent media engagement in the MSM, where he will easily outmatch the talking heads and democrat puppets.
I still have concerns whether he is legitimately the future of the conservative movement, but we have 4 years to figure that out. Meanwhile, he will have a pretty good mentor...
JD is a new and improved Dan Quayle. They take a clean cut young man and groom him to be the next president. But JD is far smarter. He was a marine. He is clearly very gifted. He does not come from money.
So Trump, the generals and the CIA will spend the next four years putting voices in his head. The generals and the CIA will try to tell him how to be a swamp monster. Or how to use the military for statecraft. Trump will put in a voice too. But Trump will not try to install his own voice. He will try to get Vance to hear the people’s voice. And four years from now, we will listen. And if we hear the peoples voice coming out of JD we may vote for him. But if we hear the swamp, we will choose someone else. Like your own child. You can give advice. You can be an example. And you can pray the result is positive. But you never know until you know.
By the way, the press will try to destroy him. You will hear horrible renditions of every statement Vance has made, every decision he has made. They will try so hard to rip him apart. Because the democrat press knows he will be powerful in four years. So they will try very hard to destroy him now because he is at his weakest.
Is anything unthinkable?
JD does not claim to be a combat veteran. He was assigned to an Air Wing in Public Affairs and has stated that he never saw combat. Unlike some politicians, he is honest about his service.
Simple.
His judgement.
He’s at least as qualified as NObama was when he became president.🙄
This is the question that they are asking? Why isn’t the question about Biden or Harris’s abilities? Either of my bird dogs have more sense than Biden at this point...and my cat can give Harris a run for her money.
So are all of my friends and family, but that doesn’t make any of them qualified to be POTUS.
As with all things political, I hope for the best and prepare for the worst, so I hope Trump has made a good choice.
