Part of what brought Vance to the dance may be his undoing. Donors are scared of him.

In his rise from Donald Trump critic to viable contender to be the presumptive Republican nominee’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio has come so far. But he may fall just short thanks to some risk-averse GOP donors.

How could anyone possibly Lawrence Welk and Burgum were close to the same age. Burgum didn’t even get out of college until Welk’s career was pretty much over. Who came up with this theory? The same guy who said Ted Cruz was the Zodiac Killer and assassinated JFK?

Some of them voted for Biden in 2020, because they did not think Trump acted presidential.

I’ve been very impressed with Congressman Byron Donalds, and President Trump mentioned him with enthusiasm the other night, but he has the same problem as Rubio having residency in Florida.

She seems a lot more conservative than he is.

It DOES MATTER GREAT DEAL if Trump loses or wins in 2024.
If he wins, demise of USA will be postponed 4 years. That will give me time to postulate and plan my future. You may be right about 2028.

“I read Vance’s ‘HillBilly Elegy’”.

I recall when JDV was starting to get some notice in politics a few years ago, people who knew him let it be known that he did quite a bit of tapdancing around the truth in that book. Quite a bit of self- serving fiction.

I never read it. I didn’t know him. So I can’t say. Just the scuttlebutt I hear.

Yes - and DeWine was also the incumbent and the governor’s race was not nearly as seriously contested as the US Senate race, either.

Jill Biden is a Christian Flotus! You obviously prefer Jill Biden over a conservative Mrs Vance.

1Old Pro was comparing Vice Presidential picks who didn't over shower the Presidential candidate.   LBJ was a nobody compared to JFK.

The biggest problem with Rubio is that he’s probably the dumbest Republican in the U.S. Senate.

I’m no fan of Chris Christie, but he did this country a great service when he made a fool out of Rubio at that one GOP primary debate in 2016. After watching that clown show unfold, I was convinced that Rubio attended the debate on his way home from the Special Olympics.

Mumbai Mike Lee, the “conservative”, who wants millions of Indians (non-Christians by the way) to come to America to steal American jobs and replace Americans.

The problem is the wife may be conservative, but Vance isn’t.

Rubio was adopted by McCain and Graham as their pet when he first got to the senate

Burgum said we were at war with Russia, so I can only assume he wants American boys dying on the fields of Ukraine.

What a bunch of turds these 3 are.

“I won’t vote if Burgum or Rubio is on the ballot with Trump. Rubio is basically out to begin with because he’s lives in Florida as does President Trump.”

Oy Vey! We surely are the stupid party doing the circular firing squad all the time. Let’s die on another hill.🙄
It doesn’t really matter who the V.P. pick is. Someone is not going to like it.
