Why JD Vance?

[22lcidw]

Vance was picked because of his MAGA views, his age, and because he can hold the base....maybe even get a few of those on the fence over.
Haley and Scott were seen as RINO's by the MAGA establishment.

This was a no brainer. And I hear it was all Jr's idea.

Just think if MAGA was conservative. Just cleaning up the Prog messes is hate to them.

 

[berg80]

You are wrong. That’s not what happened at all.

But it’s pretty clear they Vance believes the president doesn’t have to abide by decisions that they don’t think are correct.

It's a quantum leap for the unitary executive theory. trump hired Billy the Bagman because he believed in the power of the executive well beyond what is constitutionally outlined. JD has taken it to the extreme.

In reality, Obama had to clean up Shrub's messes with the economy and Iraq, Biden had to clean up trump's disastrous COVID response. If trump is re-elected he will inherit a strong economy and no doubt take credit for it as he did 8 years ago.

JD Vance is a young Conservative that will appeal to the younger adults with his no nonsense, practical approach to problems that affect them. He is a rising star in the Republican party.

He's only a rising star because he abandoned his principles to become a trump acolyte as all Repubs must. If he hadn't he would have been rejected by the Borg.

That and the fact that before 2010, NO ONE had ever heard of Vance. And then he went to work for Peter Thiel...who created Vance's persona....as well as funding his campaign for Senate.

Just another ignorant comment from you. The Democrat party is losing the trust of most Americans.

Why JD Vance?​

I watched Hill Billy Elegy, which is the life story of JD Vance. It then hit me, he is already someone of a cultural icon, just like Trump himself.

Politics is all about selling yourself and a myriad of ways to do it, but without charisma and notoriety, you better have a ton of cash and the media behind you. Having a ton of cash and the media behind you is often how the Left sells us their politician, in combination of promoting the cult of party, which is selling the notion that everyone is Hitler but them and only they are free from racism and bigotry, etc.

Being a Republican, you don't have the media behind you and will probably not have the loads of cash the DNC normally has to push across candidates like Kamala Harris who neither has charisma or any notoriety outside of politics. So, as a Republican, you better have charisma and/or notoriety, both of which JD has. And like it or not, Trump has charisma, even though he can be abrasive and unlikeable, he also had notoriety combined with the charisma. Because of this notoriety Trump had coming into politics, it is simply harder to sell the notion that a money man like Trump is actually turned into a racist KKK member overnight when he decided to make the fateful decision to enter the dirty world of politics. Trump even dated a black woman for two years and at one point asked Oprah to be his VP bfore entering the world of politics. Again, when Trump asked Oprah to be his VP, it was with the knowledge he knew politics was entertainment. He wanted to sell his brand. Likewise, it will be harder to sell JD to the American public as a racist KKK member himself, especially that he married a wife that is a "darky". But you know they will still try, because they always do. It is all they know really. It is who they have become.

But back to Harris, even with a ton of cash and the media behind you like Harris, you are left with forced public appearances and debates where the truth gets harder and harder to warp into the propaganda talking points you wish to use to sell the candidate, much like continuing to sell Joe Biden as he publicly can't link two words together to complete a sentence.

I think this is the main reason Trump disdains politicians like DeSantis. He simply lacks the charisma and notoriety needed to win as President.

Sadly, what is needed to win elections is not what is needed to judge the best people to get elected, but that is life. At the same time, just because they may be entertainers also does not mean they are not the best people for the job either. All you can do is hope you get lucky as they end up being one of the best people for the job.

So typical of Republican voters, who don't have the sense God gave a goose.

You're hiring a manager of the nation's resources, and you're hiring someone with no education or experience in managing the largest corporation on the planet. How stupid can you be?????

Clearly you learned NOTHING when you hired a reality TV show host and he was the worst President in American history. Trump is promising to cut taxes and crash the US economy - again.

Every time Republicans cut taxes and go on a spending spree, the economy crashes. Before Trump's last cut I said that the third time would not be the charm, and I take no pleasure in having been right.

Anyone still voting for Republicans because of their economic prowess, is delusional.

Have you forgotten about the genocide of the Jews? And, you know, causing a world war. But hey, if you need to set the bar that low to feel better about trump so be it.

Genocide of Jews. Causing a world war. Democrats are right in line.

Vance was picked from the orange bag O' shit's stable of sycophantic opportunists. All were interchangeable.

Vance is ambitious enough to do whatever he’s told to do for power.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4795119-jdvance-wife-white-supremacist-attacks/

She’s such a good mom,” Vance added of his wife. “She’s such a brilliant lawyer, and I’m so proud of her. But yes, her experience has given me some perspective on the way in which it’s really hard for working families in this country.”

Stop AAPI Hate, a coalition working to fight injustice against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, said it observed a flood of racist comments after Usha Vance stepped into the spotlight at the Republican National Convention.

 

[Greenbeard]

Many are saying Vance was the worst VP pick since Eagleton. Clear drag on the ticket already.

Thanks, this was interesting even though I already thought 90% of it.

I don't know why, though, you say DeSantis doesn't have charisma. Maybe he doesn't have it in the same way Trump does.. no doubt about it. But whether he has it or not, DeS is a VERY good leader, has done a lot of important work in FL. I will never say a bad word about him. The only thing I didn't really like was him criticizing Trump in the primary, yet even that doesn't bother me much bc.. it's politics and as long as someone tells the truth.. no problem for me.

Many. Translation: liberals and RINOs

I wonder if all the DNC Lefties in Hollywood are kicking themselves for making the movie Hill Billy Elegy.

After all, they made JD appear human and likeable in the movie, but now will have to try and convince us he is Hitler Jr.

yep

LOL

Vance was simply picked because Trump wanted to pick him. If anyone wonders why, they need to email Trump.
