Donald Trump picks J.D. Vance as running mate opting for a MAGA favorite in last-minute decision https://mol.im/a/13636933 via https://dailym.ai/android

Donald Trump has picked Ohio senator J.D. Vance as his running mate, choosing a grassroots favorite ahead of more seasoned political operators.

The former president left it until the last possible moment, using all his showman skills to leave the world guessing, before opting for 39-year-old Vance after the Republican National Convention had already begun in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Vance swept to national attention when he published his bestselling memoir 'Hillbilly Elegy,' in 2016, the year Trump was elected president.

Horrible choice.

Horrible choice.Agreed. Not a fan at all.

Horrible choice.
because?

Agreed. Not a fan at all.
because?

[fj1200]

because?

Too divisive, not experienced, doesn't broaden the base, doesn't make me feel better. It should have been Tim Scott, he does all those things and more. I'm guessing appealing to conservatives like a Pence pick did wasn't a consideration at all.

on what issues?


...not experienced, doesn't broaden the base, doesn't make me feel better...
Better than Dan Quayle?

What's more "conservative" about Pence than Vance?

How do you feel about Vance?

[revelarts]

How do you feel about Vance?

Don't know much about him.
I like his talk about Ukraine.
I like his talk about not pressuring other countries over woke bs.
I hear he's pro-life... not sure about the details there.
Don't know if he's one that goes along with the swamp & establishment for "unity" sake types.
I'd prefer Massie myself.

But to me he's mostly an unknown, nothing there for me "not" to like at this point.

[Black Diamond]

Assassination insurance?

[SassyLady]

I'm good with Vance.

I didn't realize Quayle was on the short list. But as I recall he was more conservative than Bush.

But to me he's mostly an unknown, nothing there for me "not" to like at this point.Precisely why I don't like him. He does not possess the basic skill of comprehension where Ukraine is concerned. Trump was and is already on the bubble with me, his one key asset being he is not Biden nor anyone likely to replace him. Vance is a tilt back toward no vote.

[SassyLady]

Agreed. Not a fan at all.
Well .. he will be the first marine to run as VP.

By Wayne Allyn Root

I chose JD Vance as my pick for Trump’s Vice Presidential selection right here at TGP a month ago. See:

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/06/wayne-root-my-prediction-choice-trumps-vice-president/

I’ve been predicting JD Vance as Trump’s best choice for many months on my TV and radio shows.

Yet today’s pick appears to have caught many experts in the media…and even many MAGA warriors off guard. They don’t understand it. Especially in light of negative quotes from JD about President Trump over the years. Won’t those be used against Trump by the Biden campaign?

So why would I pick JD for Trump’s VP over all the fine choices out there?

ADVERTISEMENT
Well to me it’s so clear…

First, JD wasn’t just my personal pick, I predicted he’d be Trump’s pick. I’ve gotten to know Trump well over the past decade. I know how he thinks. We’re both in-your-face, street-fighters from New York. Every prediction I’ve ever made about Trump has been correct. I know of no one else in the media batting 1,000% about Trump. I knew Trump would go with JD.

Second, JD is a Marine vet. He’ll be the first US Marine vet to ever serve as Vice President of the United States. Trump already has 80% of military vets. Now he’ll move up to 90%+.

Third, JD is a poor kid from Midwest working-class roots. He has a rare All-American story similar to mine. That’s how he caught my eye. I went from S.O.B. (son of a butcher) on the Bronx borderline to Valedictorian and Columbia University grad. JD went from “poor roots” in Ohio and Pennsylvania to Yale Law Degree and Editor of Yale Law Review.

Stories like this are what prove the greatness of America.

Fourth, JD wrote the exact same book as me, at the exact same time. I gotta like that guy! He thinks exactly like me. It’s actually bizarre…

I wrote “Angry White Male” in early 2016. JD wrote, “Hillbilly Elegy” at the exact same time. Both books were about the hopes, dreams and problems faced by forgotten working class whites in America.

This is exactly how President Trump and the GOP wins the election- it all goes through working class Midwest roots. As I’ve said for months now- if Trump wins Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania- he wins an electoral landslide.

JD Vance will now be assigned one job above all else- campaign 24/7 “boots on the ground” for the next 120 days in the Midwest. Pound home the point that Trump will protect, defend, empower and enrich forgotten working class Americans in the Midwest (and everywhere else).

JD will make the case that President Trump will lower taxes, get rid of taxes on tips, kill job-killing regulations, and bring manufacturing and energy dominance back to America.

Trump is already winning big nationally. As of today, Trump is up by 10 points in the latest polling by The Democracy Institute/Daily Express US. That’s a double-digit lead in the popular vote. That adds up to a massive Electoral landslide for Trump.

Keep in mind, Trump has now built huge leads in key battleground states like Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and my home state of Nevada.

But it’s dead even, or a slight lead for Trump in the three key battleground states that remain- Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. All in the Midwest.

JD Vance was born to speak to these forgotten, left behind, working-class, Midwest voters. He was born like them. He grew up like them. He thinks like them. He is them!

I predict JD will live in the Midwest from now until November 5th. This will lead to a Trump/Vance electoral landslide.

Add in three other bonuses….

JD is young (41 years old). He is telegenic, articulate, and passionate. Trump is the first Republican, certainly in modern history, to be ahead with young voters. JD’s youth and enthusiasm will seal the deal with young voters.

He will also mop the floor with Kamala Harris in the VP debate. Can you imagine? A US Marine turned articulate Yale lawyer vs. a cackling moron, who couldn’t even attract any black support in the 2020 Democrat presidential primary (as the only black person in the race).

Lastly, JD was by far the most MAGA choice for VP. His pick will excite the MAGA base. For the first time in modern history, the base has not been thrown aside for a RINO who stands for nothing as the VP (think Pence, Cheney and Paul Ryan).

Now to the only negative- JD said bad things about Trump several years ago. But that can be a positive. Here are the words that turn lemons into lemonade and can be used as a weapon to win the votes of millions of moderate working-class Democrats and independents…

“Yes, I did not like, or trust Donald Trump. I said some negative and yes, even nasty things. That was many years ago. Just like millions of Americans today, I did not know the real President Trump. My opinion changed because I got to know him personally. I saw his love for America. I witnessed his heart for forgotten working-class Americans. And I saw his results as president. He made America great again. He brought back manufacturing. He made us energy independent. He increased middle class income more than anyone in modern history- with no inflation. He cut taxes for middle-class Americans. We had peace throughout the world. Compare that to the disaster of past four years of Biden. Now you know the alternative. Trust me, Trump is the only choice. I’m sorry I ever doubted him. I was wrong. I’ve learned.”

End of story. Case closed. The only negative becomes a rip, roaring positive.

Trump/Vance wins in a landslide.

Vance on Foreign Policy

https://thehill.com/policy/international/4773538-jd-vance-foreign-policy/

[Gunny]

Well .. he will be the first marine to run as VP.Yep. Four years honorably served. He was a Public Affairs clerk. Not someone I'd call on for Operations and Planning unless I needed a photo op.

Be that as it may, it is his current foreign policy stances mostly I am against.

[Kathianne]

I'm going to give a wait and see. Trump policies have humbled me a bit. He certainly seems whip smart, but only a year older than my son!

[Gunny]

I'm going to give a wait and see. Trump policies have humbled me a bit. He certainly seems whip smart, but only a year older than my son!I have noticed a bit of moderation in Trump's stance on Ukraine, and I agree with some of his points. Europe should be footing its share of the bill. I also agree with loaning instead of giving.

I don't agree with Vance's "All Christian roads lead back to the Holy Land therefore Israel is more important" schtick. That argument has no place in current goings on/society. I am more inclined to think like Odin: Asgard is not a place. It's where our people stand.

I don't agree with his writing off Ukraine as important when geopolitics dictates otherwise.

I temper my argument with the knowledge that all that talk is grand when spewing ideas but once you got the job and see what's really going on and at stake, things change.

[hjmick]

Horrible choice.


He is a man who abandoned his beliefs, his convictions for political advancement. He bent the knee to a man he loathed and is now just another lickspittle in the Felonious Trump retinue.
