Don't know much about Vance.
I heard someone (maybe Styxenhammer?) cope on a post-assassination stream that Trump’s brush with death would get him to change his ways, close his inner circle and make better picks for loyalists in his admin.
The Vance pick was made pre-pew pew, but the fact he's still installing a Never Trumper as his successor demonstrates that it's still status quo.
Vance has been very good in the Senate so far. Is it possible it's been an act to gain further power? Maybe. But forever branding someone for saying some retarded things several years ago when their actions over the last few years are consistently good is shortsighted.
Vance has been one of the better populist voices in American politics over the last couple years. Definitely one of the better picks he could have made, if we are keeping the pool to people who were reasonably possible.
Vance has been TrumpOrBust for a while now. And ideologically, he's most aligned with Trump of all those guys.
Trump is putting aside his ego for once and picking the man who's best for the job.
My only worry is that Kamala Harris will out-debate him. She's a clown on the stump, but as a prosecutor, she can be a very good debater. Let's hope Biden's blunders can help the Trump team avoid a debate.
She got her ass handed to her by both Mike Pence and Tulsi Gabbard. Vance is a better speaker than both of them.
He handed her the Lincoln question in a giftwrapped box.
Lincoln question?
I mean, her family owned slaves, but in Haiti.
Vance is very accomplished attorney and public speaker, and really really smart. He will make Harris look the simpleton she is.
Calling Vance a Never Trumper is like calling Thomas Massie an AIPAC slave.
I admitted I don't know much about Vance.
But I've seen some old leftist-style tweets from him ripping Trump saying Trump frightens him & his family, Trump is bad for migrants, blah blah blah.
I imagine they're 2016 vintage. But they still exist.
