JD Vance is more maga than the the old wierd guy

I wanted Trump to pick Nikki as VP to unify the GOP. Stupid fuck never learns.

If he had picked Haley, the GOP would not be unified.

 

[Independent thinker]

We are all republicans (small 'd')

Why pick JD?

JD Vance is Trump's mini-me. This is what people are saying.

Yes, JD is like a son to him, an heir apparent.

 

[Independent thinker]

Nikki would not bring along votes to unite. D'Oh! Many of her supporters have said "Never Trump"

You appear not to be living in the real world.

(sadly, many still think of the party as GOP, denying it is now the MAGA party. Trump has changed the party platform and the principles it once held have been thrown out)

Many Haley voters won't back Trump. They weren't going to anyway.​

But most Republicans and GOP leaners will stick with the party.

Many Haley voters won't back Trump. They weren't going to anyway.

Nikki Haley has endorsed Donald Trump, but which Haley primary voters will break with the Republican Party in the 2024 general election?

Haley might flip flop like Trump, but many of her supporters are principled. (how many stances on abortion has Trump had over the years?)

Somewhere in there I agree with part of what you said. Nowhere near enough to like your post though.

I'm a liberal and I just popped in to see what you fuckers are saying?

 

[Independent thinker]

Nikki (women voters or alienated Republicans) or Glenn Youngkin to put VA in play would have been better.

While I agree, they were not yes men and would not jump off a cliff with Trump if he asked them to.

Why not?

He brings Ohio, he is educated, vet, successful, intelligent…

Why not?

 

[Independent thinker]

Bullshit. She got 17% of Trump's base.

What the hell is a base? I don't think anyone really knows the answer to that on either side.

 

[Independent thinker]

From all the insipid whining from the baby killers, commies, and faggots in this thread and everywhere else, it's clear Trump made a good choice.

Yeah, if Schumer said Trump should now pick someone else, that's endorsement enough for me.

 

[Independent thinker]

He's sort of okay, but WVA is a tiny state.

It's Virginia, not W Virginia.

Do you care to get specific? Is it his upbringing? His time in the Marines and Iraq? Yale law School? Venture capitalist? US Senator?

 

[Independent thinker]

NO. We voted for Nikki to let Trump know he needs to be more presidential, and less arrogant.

As Republicans we'll all vote for Trump in the general. Very few "never-Trumpers" would rather see Kamala in the WH than Trump.

Hey, I'm voting for Trump but a lot of Trump's appeal is that he is NOT presidential and is arrogant. That's never going to change, brush with death or no.

 

[Independent thinker]

I'm saying Trump is a better choice over whoever runs for the democrats. The VP doesn't much matter, that isn't the main issue.

I don't really like to call myself a Trump supporter, mainly because I'm not. But, I will vote for just about anyone to stop the wokeness.

She would gain alienated GOP votes and unify the party.

Vance is a veteran and very smart, but gains no votes. Not a bad pick, but not a clever pick either.

She would. But would she also be some sort of "sign" or "signal" that Trump again would play softball with the Criminal DEM? Will continue "business as usual"? No thanks. Many of us want Housecleaning, elimination, combination, reduction, sales of GOVT lands/property, spending redutions, no nonsense, up to massive Criminal prosecutions and hangings at Gitmo. Haley is one of "them". She does not inspire any hope at all. Sure you might get some calm.

Haley doesn't unify the party. She was barely invited to the RNC and she gave a speech there met with silence and some boos. Vance supposedly appeals to the working class of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, although I question that myself.

3 Ways the TCJA Expiration Could Impact Your Finances​

“A Trump presidency could be favorable or unfavorable to your taxes depending on which aspects are most relevant to your situation,” said Noah Damsky, CFA, principal “For example, some would benefit from SALT limitations expiring, while others could see effectiveness rates tick higher by a decline in the standard deduction.”

Formally known as the State and Local Tax Deduction, SALT is used by taxpayers who itemize their deductions to lower their federally taxable income. These people are able to deduct up to $10,000 of property, sales or income taxes they’ve already paid to state and local governments.

Damsky also noted the significance of the TCJA tax legislation and the potential for it to affect your finances if Trump is elected and renews it.

“If Republicans can also secure the House and Senate, this would increase the probability of extending Trump’s landmark TCJA tax legislation.”


He said retirees could be most affected by the expiration of the TCJA in the following three ways.



*****
If you do or don't vote Trump: #2 is huge for many Americans. Tax filing was suddenly a 15 min job vs. weeks long recipt hunting and copying and reading DOUBLE UGH! #1 rewards the Coastal elite as you end up subsidizing their State tax.
******

1. Eliminating SALT Limitations
“If TCJA expires, eliminating SALT limitations means more deductions, especially for those in high-income and property tax states,” he said. “This is especially relevant for retirees with real estate rental income, as they could see significant tax savings by offsetting rental income.”

The SALT deduction is popular with taxpayers in high-tax states and filers with high incomes, because it allows them to avoid double taxation. If you fit into this category, your tax liabilities could go up.

2. Decrease in Standard Deductions
“A decline in the standard deduction could mean a higher tax bill,” he said. “If TCJA sunsets, the standard deduction could be cut by almost half.”

This could mean you ultimately end up paying more to Uncle Sam.

“For retirees with few itemized deductions such as state and property taxes, your tax bill might go up,” he said.

3. Possible Changes to Mortgage Interest Deduction
“Currently under TCJA, home mortgage interest is deductible up to the first $750,000 of mortgage debt,” he said. “This limit would increase to $1 million if TCJA expires as currently scheduled.”

Depending on the size of your mortgage, this could be beneficial.

“This means retirees with a mortgage of over $750,000 would benefit if TCJA sunsets,” he said.

If this is you, you might end up with more money in your wallet if TCJA expires as planned in 2025.

Voting for Trump is a vote to rid the evil in Washington, no matter who he picks for VP.

Except for the fact that he didn't get rid of the evil in Washington during his first term. The deep state is DEEP.

Gov. Youngkin was who I was rooting for but Vance is fine too.....If Trump dies in office either would be able to run the country.

I liked Youngkin myself. In fact, if Trump loses, I hope he runs in 2028.

Me too.

That said he should have took on Timid Kaine and took his Senate seat away this go-round.

Same here. IMHO, the Left is bat-shit crazy.
