@Swordsmyth You seem like the Expert on Everything regarding Trump. What are your thoughts on his choice of VP?
This jackwagon is a self-described Communist and ought to be deported. No one should really care what he thinks.
Anyways, yeah. JD is a big Israel guy. Can anyone name one realistic choice that wouldn't be?

I don't trust Vance...
1- Naturally anyone who comes to prominence that quickly is suspect to me.
2- He likes to vote for spending bills
3- He changed his abortion stance recently to match Trump's
4- People I know, that know him and his staff on the Hill, say that his staff are all followers of Oren Cass a devout socialist/collectivist.
Hopefully I'm proven wrong but I'm thinking he doesn't have any solid ideology.

He's not of legal age to be president, so how can he be vice president and be the next in the chain of command.
That said, Paul and Massie like him, the usual mob of swampers hate him, so that makes him OK in my book until I see otherwise.

1 and 2 are concerning to me, too. 3 is just marketing. 4 is a bit of guilt by association.
As for not having a solid ideology, that should suit Trump perfectly!

Seems to be a Hawk.
I hope Rand Paul retake backs his support for Vance
I have no doubt that Kunsher was likely behind the decision to go with JD Vance as his main pick.

He's 39 and will be 40 by election day. You only need to be 35.

For now but so far there are videos of him coming out showing his a hawk he wants a war with Iran.That said, Paul and Massie like him
Sorry i truly hate this pick.

If maybe not starting a war with Iran or regime change agaisnt Iran or using Sunnis agaisnt Shia because that had being tried and resulted in very escalating tensions in the middle east.
You have the Saudis and i dont think the Saudis would be happy if Israeli forces continue on killing innocent civilians in Gaza and in palestine..
How is Vance and Trump going to convince Saudis to support? just threaten the Saudis and let them their killings because hamas started it?
Its been almost a year now since Oct 7.
Israel has been targeting nothing but civilians with airstrikes and Israel has faced casualties as well.

Rand's endorsements mean nothing. Remember some of the people he has supported in the past...

This guy is like black mold:
Everything seems fine until you find a small curious spot.
Then the more you dig, the more you find until you realize that you have a major problem.
This guy is not a life insurance policy for Trump.
It's a good indicator that said individual is a Republican. Otherwise, no, he plays the endorsement game just like his dad did. Can't work to fix things if you can't stay in the workshop.
Most Presidential candidates choose their running mate, based on how much they think that running mate will help them get votes.
JFK hated Johnson, but picked him because he thought it would help him do better in Texas.

I just want objectivity on this forum and will point out flawed sources or points of view at my leisure.
No... when Ron was in Congress he didn't have much of a choice because he wasn't powerful enough to withstand a full push against him. This is not an apples-to-apples comparison.
Rand however is powerful enough that he doesn't have to worry about them squeezing him out and has been since day 1. Thus any bad endorsements he has made were completely unnecessary.

Whatever you say, though not really. For one thing, he's not unassailable. For another, this can get him votes here and there. Even your omniscient ass can't know for sure unless he stops doing it.
In the end, he wouldn't be the first son to do certain things the way hid dad always did.
Yeah by threatening Iranians withdraw from Syria and whole middle east? good luck with that.
Ah, of course...my mistake, thanks

That's exactly what it was: condemning with mighty faint praise.
I'm aware, sadly. Nothing you said was incorrect.

Please tell me you didn't believe the Three Year Letterman tweet posted earlier in this thread??? PlEaSe?
eta: I see your correction. That is a satire account that intentionally $#@!s up historical "facts" to sound authoritative while being supremely ignorant. That's why it's a hilarious account in the first place.

"We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book

I'll admit I read it somewhere as a repost and didn't check the constitution for the exact age requirement, so it stuck in my brain.
I $#@!ed up, but yeah, I admitted it.

It was between this guy and Rubio, WTF?
You have to be at least 35 or older to run for President. William Jennings Bryan was the Democratic nominee for the 1896 election and he was 36.

At 1:05 the newscaster says, "He joined the Marines right out of highschool which is crazy...". What's crazy about that? Naive, most likely, but crazy? Seeking adventure is what young men are wired for.
