“He (JDV) is polling at 25% among blacks and even higher among Hispanics”.

But so is Trump. Hence, no NEW voters.
If you can show me that Vance polls better among minorities than Trump, I’ll listen.
Until then, I think his optimal choice is either Sarah Sanders or Byron Donalds.
I wasn’t referring to JD. I was referring to Trump.
Trump had 12% of blacks last time. If he gets 25% of blacks this time, that will be NEW VOTERS. He will have plenty of votes to win assuming they don’t steal it again. It really comes down to that.
They are either going to steal it again or Trump is going to win. Period.
I want him to win with the best VP possible behind him.
If you think there are women who wouldn’t vote for Trump and JD BUT WOULD vote for Trump and Sanders, you are really not paying attention. If it was Romney or McCain or Bush and it was 2004 again, maybe it would make a difference but not Trump. The women who are against him are polarized to the extreme. They will make fun of her looks and her beliefs and Christianity, etc... There is no woman VP he could run with that will increase his vote among women.
The same with blacks. Having a black guy on the ticket will do nothing. The ones that don’t like Trump will just call Donalds an “Uncle Tom”. The ones that do like Trump think he is a bad ass. Pandering doesn’t make you look like a badass.
I like Donalds and wouldn’t mind him being the VP pick as an insurance policy against the deepstate taking Trump out but I don’t think he will do as good a job defending Trump in the media as JD will.
