I didn't know too much about him, liked him on some stuff, and then got a little suspicious about some of his earlier statements...but everything I've heard since has been very encouraging.
I don't trust him...but I also don't trust any politician, with almost no exceptions. But I'm hopefully optimistic. This Vance guy seems great, and he pisses off all the right people too. Did Trump do a good pick? Are we fucking back?!
Vice President, while not super important on its own, is still interesting because a more "based" pick says something about the picker. Also, putting a "controversial" (I guess, but we all know whoever Trump had picked would have been Literally Hitler Jr. regardless) near the president means that's one less pure neocon whispering in Trump's ear. Presumably the one that wasn't shot.
Putting someone who seems good on (some) foreign policy, on DEI, on generally calling out bullshit, is great. It's another voice for sanity that gets to talk to President Trump.
How bad can Vance be if they got Leibowitz and O'Reilly together to shit on him?
Right?

The vice presidency is not that important.
My only worry was that Trump will possibly pass by fair means or foul in the coming 4 years. I don't want a total idiot there afterwards.
Vance is, if not a grand slam like Tucker or Vivek (unrealistic anyway), at least a homerun.

Turns out, JD is terrible on foreign policy.
