I think the Vance selection shows that Trump is pretty damn sure November is in the bag.

If the debate didn’t happen and somebody didn’t try to kill him..I guarantee he would’ve gone with somebody else.

Vance isn’t a traditional “campaign boost” VP pick that perhaps a Haley, Burgum, Scott, Rubio, or even Gabbard would’ve been.

Trump picked Pence last time to simmer some neo-cons down. He obviously has no regard for them with the Vance selection.

This won’t move the needle for Trump’s campaign one way or the other but it does put a good right winger by his side

What I don’t like about the move is that it opens up a senate seat. Republicans lost Alabama to clear room for Sessions failed tenure as AG.

Ohio is trending solid red but it’s dangerous to open up a seat that will likely be open in an off election year runoff where upsets are most common in even blood red states like Alabama. So that’s a drawback

I don't know much about Vance. On first glance it might:

1) Demonstrate the appearance of humility by selecting someone who previously criticized him
2) Help him appeal to Hispanics since Vance criticized his comments about Hispanics in particular and it might help him distance himself from them
3) Help him in the Appalachian region? Vance apparently wrote a bestseller about life there.

Conversely I'm interested how that will work out for Vance being in his own words he was a "Never Trumper", but it needs to be spun which I'm sure it will be.

Trump endorsed him in his own election so whatever happened to them was a bit agagoif the above poster is correct and 2018 just 2 years into the presidency then it's easy to sidestep that imo
 
Out of the four proposed, he was likely the least desired but I don’t really think any pick would change my vote. Trump tried to overturn the 2020 results so no VP really makes that go away. It just would’ve been nicer thinking if the other three were in Pences situation, they would’ve acted the same. Vance wouldn’t have from what he’s said.

The pick isn’t surprising in retrospect. Vance and Hawley are kinda the post MAGA/ pass the torch type republicans. More populist, not too much concern of presenting fiscally conservative, comfortable attacking big corps, less hawkish, possibly CTC expansions. The question was with those two if they were going to be the future route of the party and the pick might be the key sign it will be unless Trump loses drastically and the party turns a 180. That doesn’t look like the case though.

Perhaps 1…and there is the suburbs. Vance potentially checks a lot of boxes despite his rural roots. He is clean cut, former marine, rags to riches, and Ivy League educated.

I just personally think Trump doesn’t have any campaign related motives with the pick. Not that Vance couldn’t offer any boost

I’m convinced MAGA is some sort of repressed homosexual cult. Why the fuck would you get a tattoo of a guy that doesn’t know you exist on your arm.

Every time, you try to jerk off, you have that orange landwhale screaming right in front of you….yall are some degenerate freaks
 
I did have to laugh at the post on fox about the potential vp debate. The pics they chose made Kamala look old as hell haha.

I do know a guy from here that got a tattoo of someone's supposed uncle on here on his thigh for 1k...
 
You can literally just play ads of JD Vance talking and/or posting about Trump several years back without having to do your own attack ads. At least his "memoir" had a spine. Pathetic human being. Sounds about right for Trump. Hopefully he doesn't have to run through the basement of the Capitol to avoid being hanged by a deranged mob like his predecessor.
