Possible. On the other hand he's not an idiot like kamala.
Or Pense......
Don't know much about him... But the cheat sheets say:
Marine Vet
Self educated, rise from a broken family to legal prominence.
Went into politics and did pretty well too...
Wasn't for Trump but admitted his mistake(s)...
Is what it is. We aren't electing the VP, he's coming along for the ride! Lolz
Question is what of a challenge he'll be to DSantis in 28. Lol
But you could be sure, the fact is there won't be any world salad bullshit and stupid nervous laughs because the VP doesn't have an answer or know what to say!
Progressives will hate both of them because they're not puppets, can think for themselves, can articulate a plan from recall and not need que cards!
Go Trump/Vance!

10 will get you 50 that Vance is the nominee in 2028. I would bet dollars to donuts that is exactly why he picked him as VP.

Meh, I'm fine with the pick. But I don't like the idea of risking that senate seat.
I was hoping for Ted Nugent.

Vance seems to be a legit populist and America first. His voting record is actually pretty good in that regard, I think. If he really is that guy, he's a MUCH better pick than most of the other establishment "Republicans". If the VP is 100% going to carry on with Trump's agenda, it provides some assassination insurance.
I find it very telling that the pick is Vance AND that it came at the beginning of the RNC rather than the end.

Ted for Secretary of the Interior.
Just get him some crayons, he will be happy. Just have to assign someone to keep him from eating them.
Who was your first?

Learning about him now. His autobiography Hillbilly Elergy is a movie on Netflix. Good movie . Mother was addict and he is from hillbilly stock .
Just learned that his wife clerked for Robert's. Not happy.

Mixed feelings on this one. Never read Hillbilly Elegy (or seen the movie) but I get the impression he embellished a lot of it, particularly his personal experiences. The book was supposed to be more sociographic about poverty in poor whites in Appalachia when in reality he only grew up on the fringe of that culture. I'm not holding this against him necessarily but it leans towards being a bit disingenuous.
More importantly I don't really see what he brings to the ticket. Whether we like it or not a lot of folks play identity politics. Many fence sitters (and that's who we're trying to court) will just see another white guy. He may pull some millennials (that's his and my demographic) but I think we would've been better with a Hispanic (like Marco Rubio) or a black guy (like Tim Scott) or a woman. I was kind of hoping for Vivek but I knew he was an unlikely choice (though I still hope he has a place in this administration).
Overall, not a terrible pick, but I think he could've done better.

I can see the appeal but she is not pro 2a. I honestly can't even give you my first pick because they are all disappointments. I wanted Lake at one point.

Seems like shitty VP’s are a tradition
The 2A is important to me. Not the highest of priority though(for me).
I do not believe it is going anywhere, any time fast.
Not just VPs...
I get it, she seems very balanced in her politics and makes sense. 2a isn't the top of my list but it's up there and I can't say if she would sign a 94 ban or not.

JD Crayola Vance. You never heard of him? He holds the Marine crayon eating medal.
