‘Prime Minister Vance’ set to be most powerful VP since Cheney
Telegraph (Paywall) ^ | Nov 27 | Rozina Sabur

Posted on 11/27/2024 12:43:33 AM PST by RandFan

JD Vance could serve as a de facto “prime minister” to Donald Trump, Republicans have suggested, becoming the most powerful vice-president to hold the office since Dick Cheney.

Since Mr Trump selected the Ohio senator as his running mate, Mr Vance has been viewed as the heir apparent to the Republican leader’s MAGA movement, with rumours abounding that he will take on a role as powerful as Dick Cheney’s, president George W Bush’s vice-president.

Mr Cheney is considered the most powerful vice-president in US history, playing a critical road in reshaping US national security law.

He played a major role in Mr Bush’s decision to invade Iraq, as well as other major foreign policy decisions.

LOL. I actually welcome it.

Ironically he's the complete opposite to Cheney (who opposes him) and a good guy!

Happy Holidays to all Freepers!

Indeed, polar opposites...
Dick Cheney: a guy with 5 draft deferments who never met a war he didn’t want to be fought... by other people.
JD Vance: a man who enlisted in the Marines and who wants to keep the country out of wars.

I’ve heard a lot about Elon the last few days, not so much about Vance. What’s he been up to? Cabinet vetting mebbe?

Yup.
Cheney did everything he could NOT to actually fight any wars in his youth, but then once he seized power, proceeded to get other people to fight in as many wars as he could.
Vance has actually fought in wars and is fighting hard to not get America entangled in any foreign wars.

JD will be busy undoing all that the dick has done to ruin this great nation.

Vance is the movement.

Compare JD to the current VP and the difference will be shocking. JD isn’t going to hide. He was a Marine and any task Trump gives him will be completed. He’ll also take every lesson Trump can give on the real way to negotiate. This could be a great 12 years.

Trump will mentor JD Vance, who has no executive experience as far as I know, so that in 2028 JD will be fully ready to become a great president of the United States.

I love the way JD handled all interviews, especially the hostile ones. He is definitely ready to negotiate with any world leader. He is probably smarter than any of them.

“Dick Cheney: a guy with 5 draft deferments who never met a war he didn’t want to be fought... by other people.”

But he did make sure his children served the country in the military. Oh, wait... that never happened. And the Lizard is Daddy’s little war mongering, money-grubbing creature.

It does kind of seem that Elon has stolen the show. I would love to see more of Vance. Although I think I’ve heard reports that he’s been busy shepherding Trump’s Cabinet appointments around the Senate preparing for confirmation.

It seems likely that DJT will do his best to set Vance up for a starring role in ‘28.
