At this point, it's not time to be meek and look for middle ground. We have a country to save and the only way to do that is to be bold, strong, and stand up for our conservative values. The GOPe has forced us to surrender our principles for too long in the name of "working across the aisle" and "spirit of compromise". I like J.D. Vance as a VP choice.

Voters want a safe country. They want low crime. People want a secure border and they don't want to worry their child will be killed by drugs or illegal aliens. Voters want to be able to afford groceries and not worry if putting food on the table means something else goes unpaid.

We have had the Democrats for 3 1/2 years and it has been a disaster. Forget what the media says, voters don't appreciate having been lied to and told Biden was fine only to have the truth come and and Harris being inserted as the Democrat nominee without their say.

Ignore the fake polls. Trump/Vance is winning.

No matter who President Trump picked, they were going to get savaged. Senator JD Vance is no exception, seems like he's handling it well. He's a good choice, hopefully he fits Trump's strategic considerations, which I suspect are the rust belt and midwest--Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, etc.

He'll be in Reno next Tuesday, I'll be going and will be curious to see the crowd and his evolving stump speech.

This makes no sense at all.

He’s been under Thiel’s wing since law school, and Thiel funded (along with Google’s Eric Schmidt and other SV titans) his VC firm and Senate campaign.

Thiel, of course, is as Establishment as they come, heading up the steering committee of Bilderberg, and I longtime Trump supporter.

America needs Trump or US will go down the shitter!
The Regime cheat MUST be covered. Trump needs every vote he can get because he’s going to be running against the Regime media diatribe, their imported illegal aliens and the dead.
Vance had had better prove that he deserves the VP spot by pulling in his own votes. So far, all he has done is piss off a bunch of women. Trump doesn’t need any liabilities.

I would prefer someone who never went to Yale.

Vance’s controversial cat lady comment came when speaking to Tucker Carlson on Fox in July 2021. He needs to acknowledge he made a mistake and reassure the public that he has grown in his sensitivity to all people. That could also come from his wife, Usha, who has received irrational far-right attacks for her Indian ancestry. This is a time to heal the discord and division in our society.

My 0.02 on Vance as VP candidate:

On the plus side, we could not ask for a better pro-life champion. Vance is against abortion even in cases of incest and rape.

Vance’s youth is also a plus for those who are concerned about Trump’s age. If Vance can connect to young voters and make inroads on another traditionally left leaning demographic as Trump has done with black and Hispanic voters, so much the better.

On the other hand, Vance has said some pretty weird stuff. For instance, when asked to clarify his stance on abortion he said, “we want women and young boys in the womb to have the right to life.” What about young girls in the womb? Was that just a gaffe or is he okay with sex-selective abortions, as in his wife’s home country?

Overall I give him a B+ as a candidate.

When democRATS speak (lie) about something changing, they call it ‘evolving.’

They will say ANYTHING during primaries and elections, and then explain the lies by lying some more.

When President Trump instituted most of his campaign promises, the Drive-By Media just freaked out. Oh! The Humanity of doing what he said he would do!

It is true that a Presidential candidate usually picks a VP candidate that brings support from a perceived weakness. And, as others have noted, Vance doesn’t appear to have done so. But, as I advocated here and in emails to Trump, America First will only take root in future elections as a movement if Trump picks and grooms a successor. It’s possible that this is what is going on. And Trump has previously said that he thinks VP choices based on perceived weakness is overrated.
