I'm happy with this choice. Aren't you?
ADDED: "Trump chooses Sen. J.D. Vance, a former critic, as his vice-presidential pick/Vance is a rising star in the party who has closely aligned himself with Trump in recent years, after criticizing him forcefully in 2016" (WaPo)(free access link). Excerpt:
ADDED: "Trump chooses Sen. J.D. Vance, a former critic, as his vice-presidential pick/Vance is a rising star in the party who has closely aligned himself with Trump in recent years, after criticizing him forcefully in 2016" (WaPo)(free access link). Excerpt:
While Vance is now one of Trump’s most steadfast allies, he was previously critical. He wrote in an Atlantic opinion piece in July 2016 that Trump was “cultural heroin” for the masses....
He declared Trump “unfit for our nation’s highest office” in an August 2016 New York Times op-ed headlined “Why Trump’s Antiwar Message Resonates with White America.” Vance also sent a message that year to his law school roommate, Josh McLaurin, saying that he went “back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler.” McLaurin had reached out to Vance about writing an opinion piece together at the time.
“I never could have dreamed during those exchanges in 2016 that he would end up being one of the principal reinforcers of Trumpism only a few years later,” said McLaurin, who is now a Democratic state senator in Georgia....
AND: I'm glancing around elsewhere and keep seeing this theme: Vance used to criticize Trump. The old criticisms are repeated. But we've all heard criticisms of Trump, and here's someone who knew and felt the criticisms, but he came around. And he's going to be telling us, eloquently, how he came around.

«सर्वात जुने ‹थोडे जुने 211 पैकी 201 – 211DNC and MSM dirty tricks and election cheating machines have been turned up to 11. I don’t think the assassination attempt was even close to the last Constitutionalist blood to be spilled this election cycle. Desperation on the left has many very ugly fellow travelers.
The worst thing that could happen to the Dems is happening on Thursday night: The American People are going to give Trump a 2nd look.
Being confronted with your own mortality, changes you. I think it will change Trump. I think he will be less bombastic and show softer edges.
If the result of the weekend is that Trump puts away the showman and becomes statesman, it will be the most unexpected result of the campaign of all.
Vance strongly criticized Trump? Big deal. There's a large percentage of Trump voters who started out, pledging that never vote for him. I was one of them.
If Vance had always been a huge Trump supporter, then I would be worried about him.
Well, at least Vance is keeping better company these days than that dolt leftist Josh McLaurin (D-GA Senate), pro-sex change for minors, extremist open borders, Catholic Hospitals have to perform abortions while baking human sacrifice cakes for satanists, or else (stomps feet).
It likely took nerve to say something even mildly positive about Nixon to an hysteric like that. Or to anyone else at Yale. Hopefully Vance has learned more about the Nixon who was beloved by the workers at the White House and was the first President to hold Sunday worship alongside them, in stark contrast to that knuckle-dragger LBJ, whose idea of equality was drunkenly abusing his cook as much as he abused his wife. It is a story that might resonate with his lived life.
Hassayamper on a good tear always sounds intoned by James Earl Jones:
"This senile idiot, this blowhard plagiarist from the bottom quintile of a third-tier toilet law school, who never once earned a nickel that didn't come from taxes paid by the rest of us, has not the smallest clue where prosperity comes from. He is corrupt beyond the wildest dreams of Nigerian oil ministers, and a pervert to boot. He is no more capable of running this country than that equally foolish former bus driver Maduro who runs Venezuela, and if we re-elect him we will look more like Venezuela than America in four more years."
I saw Vance's wife (sorry I don't recall her name). Another woman more attractive than Jill who will never grace the cover of Vogue.
Looks like Trump got his hair trimmed to accommodate the bandage on his ear. It looks better that way.
A dilemma.
Schrodinger's Inga. She is at the same time the smartest and dumbest Democrat in Waukesha County.

I thought of him as a clown. I was astonished to learn the next morning that he had been elected.
Then I saw him govern in spite of all the lies and sabotage by the Democrats. That changed my mind.
Intelligent people who speak their minds get banned from places like Ricochet and Powerlineblog.
I was banned at both. I was dumb enough to go back to Ricochet and quit again after being suspended for using the term "Vichy Republicans."

My reaction precisely.
Vance against the blowhard, known mostly thru Rep-hating media, but in favor of America First policies. And results.
