Politico, You Don't Have to Sell Me More on JD Vance!

[HikerGuy83]

Not even a chance ....for Vance exists imo. He's done zero as VP to show any ability to run things......and the Thiel connection will hold him down imho. Rubio has a better shot, perhaps or just someone new, not related with crooked Donald?

I have to respect someone like you who is wrong just about every time.

But keeps posting like you have some kind of credibility.

This is a great example of gatekeeping and non-news being reported as news.

It has a bunch of anonymous sources, a bunch of questions and concerns and you can see it basically trying to shoot a bunch of holes into the prospects of JD Vance while also trying to establish a bunch of early narratives to use against him.

It's what the media does and what most people tune out from because want news, not talking head pontificating.

However what is really great about this piece is all the "concerns" and "pontificating" make me like and want to vote for JD Vance even more.

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2026/02/17/jd-vance-ready-to-run-the-world-00785096

Let's imagine you want to be thought of as a non-conventional, non-DC swamp creature. Does the word ENIGMA help or hurt that? To me it helps but to people with pretend intellect that word sounds a bit judgemental and worrisome. It just sold me more.



So to understand the gatekeeping here, this is piece is largely about the concerns of an anonymous foreign diplomat and "others". However can you imagine writing a piece where you call Vance and enigma and also an intellectual and then imagine people would think of that negatively. Especially when you talk about not being a "pragmatist" about "how the world works."

In other words, Vance doesn't understand that the role of the US is to be bled dry and pay for everyone and everything while doing nothing for itself. That "lack" of understanding just makes me want to vote for him more. The fact that unlike President Trump who explains this with all the finesse of a five year old, Vance can explain it with intellectual clout just makes him even better than Trump.



So if Trump was America First the problem is that Vance would be American First First First with an extra layer of being able to explain it with clear concise speech and high level language and concepts since he is an "intellectual". That sounds even more fantastic to me. Yes please.



As opposed to a guy who didn't serve due to bone spurs, the Iraq war veteran thinks we shouldn't be the police for the world and that the global order of multilateral bodies and free trade completely screwed over the U.S. working class to help countries like China and he declares fixing this is all about supporting his values rather than some sort of immutable traits like race or sex?

Holy ******* shit, can we just slap this into a commercial for Vance?!?!?! This sounds like the greatest endorsement ever but what is hilarious is that the folks speaking it as a "concern" are so at odds with it that they don't realize what they just stated.



Trump on steroids. Trump but better. Yes please!



No more policing the world? Double yes please.



He's Trump but well read, has more tools in the toolbox than just blasting people with insults, smart and well read but very determined to shift the U.S. toward his ideological goals which he can also think and articulate better than Trump.

I might need a moment alone to recover from this. This reads better than a romance novel.



This is what you call the "Yes but it's complicated and confounding...so you can't possible have agency since you can't understand it."

Except Vance has a law degree from Yale University and trying to pass him off as an intellectual light weight simply won't work.

It will work with Gavin Newsom though so that should be great.



You're too stupid to understand how "it's complicated" so now we will just say it's about feelings and he's mean.



The "enigma" isn't hard to understand. Latin American has sent vast numbers of people to the U.S. and the work and send remittances home that are a large percentage of the GDP of those countries. Basically a lot of these countries have started working as a follows.... we allow narco-terrorists to run the show. The middle class can't survive so they take their best and brightest and they run over to the United States. They also send their worst in terms of prisons, criminals and running drugs.

The gangs do what they do here and basically establish a beachfront for the future narco-state in the United States. The best among them work hard and send money home so their families can survive. We see this model play out in blue cities right now. There's the homeless, the serf class working incredibly hard and the elites and the criminal organizations living the good life.

These "diplomats" don't understand why JD wouldn't just do what the Democrats do and accept the graft and corruption to live the good life while just pretending to care about the poor and working class. It's an "enigma" about why he won't sell out like they all have done. Trump is the same only even worse because he's a billionaire who cares. It's a riddle they can't solve.

It's not a riddle that needs to be solved. It's the problems they have created that need to be confronted and fixed and articles like this just show you JD Vance will be Trump+. He will be younger, smarter, more articulate and have far less baggage while trying to do an even more strident and better job.

Yes please. Yes pretty please.

Thanks for alleviating all my "concern" there Politico. I can't wait to vote for JD Vance in 2028 and 2032.

That's a lot of words for "JD Vance licks Trump's arse, so I'm going to vote for him"

 

[MarcATL]

Oh....you acting like you found some balls on the street.

Listen junior,

Get used to it.

President Vance
President Vance

Loser AOC
Loser AOC

You and the others in your Siemen pool said the same about Trump.

And you were rig.....oh wait.

Republicans hate that muddaphucka, but you're too far up Trump's ass to smell the coffee.

You'll learn though.

The only thing I've learned is that you are both a coward and an intellectually lazy left wing jerkwad.

I know what I voted for.

You have no clue.

You might want to brush up on your Alinsky class. What you are supposed to be accomplishing is being accomplished on you.

 

[HikerGuy83]

I'm not wrong on this Hiker.

Make your case.

Your blustering claims are always meaningless because there is no way to support them.

BTW: You are wrong about most everything. This is no different.

 

[HikerGuy83]

BTW: Isn't that a corrupt, adulterous, race baiting idiot in your avatar?

Figures.

Enjoy YOUR fantasy. Vance is smarter and smoother than you or any of your slack-jawed lackeys. He's been there and done that. He already embarrassed Kamala once. You want some more of that?

"Look, he owned me like the cheap slut I am. Because I'm delusional, because I'm a leftist Democrat with no grip whatsoever on common sense, reality or American values or traditions, I've fooled myself into thinking I might run again but he would own me just like he did last time."

I understand why you couldn't defend Vance. Like trump , it's losing proposition.

How dumb are you?
I DID defend Vance and I'll defend him all goddam day.
He's from my state. He's the Real Deal, a real American, not the phony actors you have in your dying communist party.
He's smart as hell, he's a good person and his future is bright.
There isn't one Democrat even in the same league with him.
Not.
One.

Sell you on JD Vance?

He’s a failure!

 

[IM2]

Of course Vance is gonna get the nod and he absolutely is raking in the campaign money as we speak. His coffers are getting full.
People are petrified of Democrats gaining control of the Whitehouse again and after mid terms....they might be scared of allowing them any power again whatsoever.

Currently the Democrat Party is in debt to the tune of millions. SuperPacs have lots of black money stashed in Canada and Mexico banks from narcotic and sex slave trafficking. But they are going to dole this out on a state level as Kamala proved that the DNC has zero interest in being frugal. Especially when Trump won by Mandate margins and spent half of what Kamala did.

I'm not as exactly sure of what Vance is going to do due to his track record. It's not always exactly aligned with conservative ideals....but we will see what comes. Especially since Democrats can't stop talking about Trump when Vance will be the candidate. I forsee an implosion of sorts.

But currently congressional Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot as they continue to upset the base by INACTION. (No desperately needed legislation)
Same with the DOJ. More inaction.

You really need to get out of that echo chamber. Literally nothing you say here is true.

 

[Stann]

Sell you on JD Vance?

He’s a failure!

I will rember Vance as 1. the guy who started the lie about Somalus eating dogs and cats . 2. the more ron that makes love to a couch and 3 the obedient yes man that was loyal to the worst president in US history.
