Why J.D. Vance Is Trump’s Ideal Running Mate

Original Article

Posted By: Syrupmakers, 6/4/2024 5:34:33 PM

President Trump’s vice-presidential search is in the home stretch. Trump must pick a running mate prior to the Republican convention in mid-July, but he has ample incentive to pick one sooner. The sooner he makes his pick, the sooner that individual can prepare for a vice-presidential debate, which could be held as soon as July. Still, Trump has kept people guessing, as he likes to do.

Hope he doesn't pick a member of congress or a governor. We need more of them. Not less. Hope it is Vivek. He's young, incredibly smart, articulate, a successful business person and, since he's not white, can't be credible accused of being a white racist.

Are you kidding, #1? The left has called Larry Elder, a black man, a white supremacist. Skin color only protects democrats. As to the article - I would be happy with JD Vance as VP.

Charlie (the writer of this article) said on his show today that replacing JD in the Senate (if he were picked at Veep) would be no problem -- the Republican governor could appoint another -- maybe even Vivek.

Watched Vance since his book. He is profoundly insightful, capable of taking and supporting rationale positions in an electorate that cannot agree on the color of the sky, and understands the dynamics how how the nation is changing. 100% supportive if him as pres in waiting. He does have history that the mindless will try to exploit….stemming from is younger role as a venture capitalist (and without venture investing we would stagnate. But his plusses are so large…It will be a race between Joe and Kamelia as to who backs out of debates first.

I’m good with this. He is a young, vibrant, uncompromising conservative and is promising presidential material.

This particular VP is as consequential to America as President Trump. This VP we must know will carry on MAGA policies, continue the courageous clean-out of so much federal employment corruption and waste. We cannot afford to get out Trump back in and because he has only four years, replaced by one who goes back to wimp Bush Republicanism. As soon as GHW Bush was sworn in, instead of being the third term of Reagan as he promised, the establishment undid Reaganism fast as they could. I like Vivek but he is untested in elected office or any political position of authority. He says all the right things but we have no evidence of his doing what he says. Stellar businessman but he is not ready for VP of the USA. We must know he will continue what Trump starts.

I correct that last sentence - we must know this next VP will be as devoted to MAGA as Trump. I have no problem with J.D. Vance at all.

I liked Hillbilly Elegy and am glad JD has advanced to his current position. But I'm not sure his is electable presidential material. Now or ever. And electability is key. After DT leaves office in January, 2029. So he's not at the top of my VP wish list. And Vivek isn't even remotely electable to POTUS in this country. No matter how smart he might be. My top VP choice is Mike Pompeo. He is 60. Definitely good for two terms after he takes office in 2029.

If you want to know Vance, read his book, and review his behavior since he became an unlikely Senator. He would be my choice, but others mentioned are OK also. Please, not a woman.

I've read that J.D. Vance and Don Jr. are best friends and Don Jr. would love to have his dad choose J.D. Vance. He definitely is smart and well spoken.

I like JD Vance for VP. Although frankly, I did not like Hillbilly Elegy. It was a wonderfully written book but it gave a totally different perspective of life growing up as someone whose parents came from Kentucky to make a better life. In fact, I grew up two streets over from JD but decades earlier and lived a totally different life thanks to parents and their faith based values. I did see many families very similar to JD’s growing up though, but there were many families similar to my own also. Nevertheless, he is a fine man and has overcome many obstacles in his early life and for that, I cannot praise him enough. I, too, believe he would be an excellent choice for VP. He is smart, articulate and will not be pushed around. He is grounded by the experience of living the American dream. He understands and has lived the very ethos of this country. In my humble opinion, he would be an excellent choice. I cannot agree with Mike Pompeo for VP. I do not trust him. There are those who believe he was secretly working against President Trump like many in his administration during his first term. We do not need that again. I do like Vivek and believe he should have a big presence in President Trump’s administration. I would like to see a position created for him to be the guy who will clean out the enemy/deep state embedded in the government. This is a pivotal job and needs someone who has the courage and will to act and I believe he is just the man for the job.

Vance appears to be a well-grounded individual. While I do not know him well as a senator, his political credentials are a big plus. I tend to play the long game - is there any dirty laundry in his past that the msm could tear him apart with, does he have the ability to neuter the msm when necessary, can he be a Maga2 draw at the ballot box, does he have the right hutspa to take over at the Resolute Desk, and can he become the face of the republican party if there is a future call for him to do so. If yes, let's roll.

This Sunday marks the 77th anniversary of the greatest gamble in World War II. On June 6, 1941, more than 156,0000 allied forces launched from the sea onto the beaches of Normandy. Nearly 7,000 allied ships commanded the French coastline, and more than 3,200 aircraft dominated the skies. A few miles inland, 23,000 paratroopers landed to block German reinforcements from the shore.

Many illegal migrants will voluntarily flee to Canada if President Donald Trump is re-elected, a Democrat-appointed ambassador told an elite Canadian audience in Ottawa. “These people aren’t just going to sit there and wait to be rounded up,” former U.S. ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman told a national security conference on June 3, according to Canada’s National Post. Heyman is a former top executive at the Goldman Sachs investment firm and a fundraiser for Democrats. He was appointed to the ambassador job by President Barack Obama. “What would a second Donald Trump presidency mean for Canada?” columnist Tasha Kheiriddin wrote:

Joe Biden's cognitive decline has become readily apparent to dozens of high-ranking officials in recent months, a bombshell new report claims. More than 45 Republican and Democratic lawmakers and staffers offered insight on the subject, citing recent mistakes by the commander-in-chief they found concerning. Aired in the midst of an election year, the report paints a picture of a president considerably slower than days' past, while the White House maintains the 81-year-old is still a top leader.

President Joe Biden landed in Paris, France on Wednesday ahead of Thursday's ceremonies to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day and immediately did what we all, unfortunately, expect him to do these days: He called a lid. It's a long flight, for sure, but unlike the rest of us Biden doesn't have to deal with flight delays, getting through the TSA line, or being stuck in the middle seat between a hypochondriac wearing an N95 mask and a person of unidentifiable gender who really should have purchased two seats. He also has sleeping quarters

Cancer patients are among the growing number of sick people across the country being asked to fork over thousands of dollars for treatments they hadn't yet received. Nancy Skinner, 68, and nearly a dozen other cancer patients in Las Cruces, New Mexico, who say they were either denied care or required to pay out of pocket up front. [SNIP] Ms. Skinner’s doctor ordered a biopsy in 2022 to assess a growth on her leg, but the Memorial Medical Center denied her insurance and told her she had to pay $2,000 or she would not get a potentially lifesaving procedure.

Federal prosecutors have charged 47 Somali Muslim immigrants in Minnesota for skimming $250 million from a coronavirus relief program meant to help feed needy children. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland’s office is calling the case the “largest pandemic relief fraud scheme charged to date.” “Today’s indictments describe an egregious plot to steal public funds meant to care for children in need in what amounts to the largest pandemic relief fraud scheme yet,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray in a Department of Justice (DOJ) press release:

A team of “high-powered NASA scientists” has just stumbled upon a very inconvenient truth, and no, I don’t mean that they’ve found new evidence to support the Al Gore fear porn flick, but instead, they’ve discovered that 80% of “global warming” in the last ten years has not been caused by man’s use of natural renewable resources like gas and oil, but “draconian fuel shipping regulations” ostensibly “designed to help prevent global warming.” [snip] NASA scientists that suggest most of the recent global temperature increases are due to the introduction of draconian fuel shipping regulations designed to help prevent global warming.

The silver MacBook Pro 13, covered in a clear plastic wrapper, was first publicly sighted Tuesday at 2:10 p.m. when it was carried across the court by prosecutor Derek Hines to his first witness, FBI Special Agent Erika Jensen, who confirmed it was Hunter’s laptop from the serial number on the back. Sitting at the bar table, Hunter was inscrutable behind salmon pink reading glasses as the laptop that threatens to put him in jail and politically scorch his ­father coasted serenely across the room.
