ON the other hand:

THAT experience could make him able to ID the chaff from the wheat.

I wonder if all those Conservative Christians still feel that way after J6 & many of Pence’s other comments.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I would hate to lose Desantis or Youngkin as effective governors. At least y’all still have Winsome Sears. But, I think either one or both would be valuable additions as cabinet secretaries, AG and Commerce, respectively.

IMO, PENCE shed what little loyalty he MAY have had for TRUMP like a molting hen.

There is way too much freedom of speech on FR. By the way Vance is the best choice and anyone who doesn’t agree with me should go to DU(sarc)

“ today, my pick is the VA governor”

Him, or Sarah Huckabee Saunders. She is tough as nails, and doesn’t take crap from the media. Been loyal to DJT since 2016.

Don’t forget that DeWine is a king-size RINO

1. He worked for both of them.

2. One of them lobbies for a political agenda that aligns with the globalist business interests of the other.

Credit those who were ‘special operators behind enemy lines’. They are courageous and knowledgeable.

Trump needs a running mate who appeals to voters OUTSIDE his core base of support.

I would remind you that some of Trump's biggest margins of victory in 2016 were in states where Democrats had historically dominated the political scene up until a few decades ago. His largest margin was in West Virginia -- which had more registered Democrats than Republicans up until about 2020.

What this meant was that Trump has had to work hardest to shore up his support among REPUBLICANS in many of these states.

I don't think that has really changed in eight years ... hence the strong possibility that Trump's running mate will be someone who is closely aligned with the GOP establishment.

It wouldn't matter. They were there to help Trump win in 2016 -- which was Pence's purpose for being on the ticket in the first place.

Youngkin is a anti US worker globalist POS extraordinaire. No Free Traitors™ in commerce!!!

“ If looks are the key to Donald Trump's vice presidential pick then there is only one winner.”

Tulsi Gabbard is easy on the eyes

[JayGalt]

Not to ladies.

[Jonny7797]

Not Rand Paul.

[Polyxene]

“Governor Mike DeWine will appoint John “The Mailman” Kasich to fill Vance’s Senate term if Vance is the VP Pick.”

Please, God, NO! This is exactly what I was afraid of!

[Polyxene]

“Vance is certainly the media’s darling.”

If Vance is chosen as VP, that will change in a hurry. They will come after him like a rabid dog.

[higgmeister]

Has anybody been to Jackson, Kentucky?   Has anybody even been to Bloody Breathitt County, Kentucky?

Please don't let it be J. D. Vance.

“Like a lot of people, I criticized Trump back in 2016,” Vance said. “And I ask folks not to judge me based on what I said in 2016, because I’ve been very open that I did say those critical things and I regret them, and I regret being wrong about the guy. I think he was a good president, I think he made a lot of good decisions for people, and I think he took a lot of flak.”

Apology refused, Senator Vance!

Sorry, but a grown man with nation-wide notoriety should know better than to call anyone "America's Hitler" without first thoroughly researching the issue.

Just saying, "I regret, I'm sorry, I wish I hadn't said that, etc." without first explaining WHY, at that time, he felt it was a reasonable judgement, and why, NOW, it is an incorrect evaluation, is insufficient.

Regards to you as well. If we all thought the same there would be no political contests or horse races.
