A post on Trump’s official TruthSocial page. Fair enough. What a silly pick. Political cocksucker of the highest order. |

Vance will not help Trump to ad-Vance electorally since he's just some fake populist some from Ohio. Trump only cares about his political concubines and savants.

Of course we should always be even handed and reflect on the reaction of leaders across the Western World and former US leaders to the shameful (failed) murderous attack on Trump (eg Biden, Obama, Clinton, Starmer, Macron etc) who all expressed their revulsion at the attack and condemned it emphatically and unreservedly We should also take the time to reflect on the reaction of Trump to a failed murderous attack on one of his biggest political foes... No equivalence at all. The Pelosi incident was a 'domestic invasion' by someone with a BLM flag at home So what? The comparison here is not about the two disgusting incidents but about the reaction to them - one of them dignified, the other filled with contempt for someone who ended up with a fractured skull after being attacked by a QAnon follower. You seem to be implying that as a domestic invasion then it was somehow less horrific. Marjorie Taylor Greene even tried to pass it off as a gay sex game gone wrong. |

At least Vance and David Lammy should get on well!

So the ticket will be Trump (University of Pennsylvania) and Vance (Yale University). Two Ivy League graduates. Neither Biden nor Harris attended an Ivy.

Trump is going for the jugular in the mid west. Personally I think JD Vance is a very smart and actually quite metropolitan man who acts a rather dishonest part, but he knows where the votes are. |

How are you defining 'the sun belt'? I think Biden has a decent shot at Arizona again, and Dems are well placed to win the state legislature and AZ-1 and AZ-6. |

If Vance sticks with even half of what he pretends to believe, then NATO is fucked.

Knows how to be craven enough to gain Trump’s endorsement, maybe, but JD Vance did very poorly in his Senate run. He is about the weakest possible pick for Trump electorally speaking - though as has been pointed out already, VP picks basically change nothing. |

Trump likely to get something he didn't in 2016 which will further legitimise his Presidency.
More votes than the Democratic candidate

Hillbilly Elegy was a remarkable book, and does show some roots on poverty |

It's an odd pick looking at Ohio but the Mid West in general still has swing states, and Vance being Catholic may well help. Catholics are a swing bloc. |
