Vance is someone who came from humble beginnings and rose up a level by the power of his pen but betrayed his Appalachian roots and working class people there to ascend to the much higher levels by becoming a mouthpiece for authoritarian conservatism and private equity acquisitiveness.
Similar to Bannon he is articulate, shameless, motivated and dangerous and would be quite the piece in a Trump agenda like a Goebbels.

Trump doesn't need to secure the evangelical base this time, its locked up, so it may be he tacks back to his fake promises to the working class like in 2016 as a strategy.

He absolutely did not betray his community or disavow his humble beginnings. Not sure where libs get that nonsense from.
Unlike Goebbels who killed people, why is it the left has to use the most extreme people who have no relation or bearing to the topic. But Bannon is formidable and that is what so many of us like about the guy, he is pushing for his American first agenda and I can't fault the guy for that. Any person that is passionate about putting American front and center has got my ear, respect and attention.
Nothing fake, but I do think so, this time he won't have Pelosi, Schumer or even Mitch to throw a monkey wrench into his plans to fix this country.

Low info there.
Vance is canny but his calculated MAGA turn may not convince that many. But in this day and age?

Vance himself compared Trump to Hitler.

Pretty much.
Got my vote.

Given how much he thinks he is a "wonderful guy", my money is on Hannibal Lector...
But we all know Trump's "real" VP pick is already that "genius" Vladimir Putin...
bass4funk
He also said how he got Trump wrong, first time impressions from not knowing the guy, but as he states he was so so wrong about the man and came around. We all evolve especially politically and good on him. Love the guy.
Bob Fosse
If he was wrong about the guy, from his position as an insider and peer in US politics, imagine how wrong his supporters could be about him.
Maybe they’ll come around someday too.
bass4funk
Doubt it.
No need, we have seen and heard more than enough of him. Vance would make a great VP a few others as well. No swamp establishments this time.

Also known as "MAGA caving"...for another example see how abortion "evolved" from "life begins at conception period" to "murdering babies through the 15th week is fine"...
Any of our MAGA-friends here "evolve" on the COVID vaccine yet? Trump assured you it is "safe and it works"...
Bob Fosse
So you think someone who describes people ‘he doesn’t know’ as Hitler is just the kind of person you want for VP. I see.
Roger Gusain
Trump doesn't seem to be too popular on JT. But I am not sure that having a cadaver as president is a good idea either.

Trump 2024!!

JD Vance for VP.
A Yale educated lawyer, and anyone who has read his autobiography 'Hillbilly Elegy' will understand his troubled childhood and upbringing. He is the one who can truly understand the issues plaguing the working class of Middle America, and Democrats should get ready for another embarrassment in the VP debates.

Can't wait for the annoucement....it will either be the guy that said about Trump; “My god what an idiot, I’m a Never Trump guy, I never liked him” Vance said in an interview with Charlie Rose in 2016. He also said Trump was “noxious” and “reprehensible.”
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/10/23/jd-vance-ohio-senate-trump-comments-516865
Vance expressed a similar sentiment in other interviews and since-deleted tweets from that time, including publicly mulling the idea of supporting Hillary Clinton, calling Trump

Or the guy that said of Trump; "He is a con artist," Rubio said. "He runs on this idea he is fighting for the little guy, but he has spent his entire career sticking it to the little guy — his entire career."
Rubio specifically pounced on Trump's hiring of foreign workers and his now-defunct Trump University, both examples Rubio cited here as he argued the billionaire is doing a "con job" on voters.
"He's going to Americans that are struggling, that are hurting, and he's implying, 'I'm fighting for you because I'm a tough guy,'" Rubio said. "A tough guy? This guy inherited $200 million. He's never faced any struggle."
Rubio added: "The other day, he told a protester, 'I'm going to punch you in the face.' Donald Trump has never punched anyone in the face. Donald Trump was the first guy that begged for Secret Service protection."

He'd be better of sticking with Mike Pence....ROFL...
bass4funk
Why not? He said, he had a change of heart after he met the guy, dunno, conservatives are more forgiving.
bass4funk
Naw, but anyway, Interesting, liberals whine that Trump lives in the past, well, liberals do the same, it doesn’t matter what people said in the past, that’s dead and long gun. None of these people think that about Trump now.
lincolnman
Like life begins at conception?
So they were either lying before or are lying now....which is it?
bass4funk
No, more like consciously evolving.
?
Doesn’t matter what any of us think, what matters is who we are voting for and Biden is not one of them.
We went through this before.
Neither
lincolnman
ROFL...
Still believe life begins at conception?
Get your vaccine yet?
The answer?
OK, so they were telling the truth before...
Bob Fosse
I wouldn’t pigeonhole a whole group, we can’t speak for everybody, right?
Back to Vance, he either said something dumb and then backpedaled on it for his political ambition and/or threw his integrity out of the window for his political ambition.
Seems kind of swampy.
bass4funk
.
Already did
But answered that as well.
Libs do for some odd reason.
Thank you
I don’t see it like that, but I can’t see inside this guys heart or mind, not a clairvoyant
Very, very different from the Washington establishment elite cabal.
