Why Trump Suddenly Thinks Picking J.D. Vance Was a Mistake

IMHO Trump will continue to regret his selection....(sigh)....

Why Trump Suddenly Thinks Picking J.D. Vance Was a Mistake

Republicans may be starting to second-guess their party’s pick for vice president.

Much of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, including the decision to tap Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate, was structured around attacks on President Joe Biden. But then Biden announced Sunday that he was withdrawing from the presidential race altogether.

Trump campaign officials acknowledged that Trump selected the inexperienced Vance, charged with all his techno-authoritarian ideas, to boost support among their own base, not extend a hand to swing voters, according to The Atlantic. Vance was a symbol of the Trump team’s assuredness that they would win in 2024. Come Sunday, that assuredness appears to be shrinking.

“Most striking thing I heard from Trump allies yesterday was the second-guessing of JD Vance—a selection, they acknowledged, that was [born] of cockiness, meant to run up margins with the base in a blowout rather than persuade swing voters in a nail-biter,” Atlantic staff writer Tim Alberta, who had written the piece about the panicking Trump campaign, posted on X (formerly Twitter). .........................

There's no denying JD's inexperience and Joe leaving the race changes things a bit.

Wait until the convention when we see who the DEM nominee is and who the VP pick is.  I think JD's inexperience is going to be problematic.

Just my opinion.

So how does that equate to "Trump Suddenly Thinks Picking J.D. Vance Was a Mistake"? Trump has said nothing remotely like that.

I think Trump had better alternatives, but I wouldn't characerize the choice as a mistake.

Maybe it’s true

Maybe it isn’t

But it’s one of those “according to insiders” or “ according to those who wish to remain anonymous” stories that never gives specifics

The title doesn’t match the article

At lest we know what the Republican ticket is unlike the Democrats. Please note that I DID NOT say Democratic party as there is no such thing in this world!

Look at the New Republic homepage. Every story is a hit piece on Vance or Trump, and one of the authors is that commie Thom Hartman. Another is Hafiz Rashid, who is fixated on calling Netanyahu a war criminal. It's been a "progressive" rag since its inception. In other words, it's not terribly reliable.

Give me a break.

I think picking Vance was a mistake in terms of helping Trump win the election.   I think he'll hurt Trump's chances.

But there's no evidence that Trump himself regrets the pick.

Who the fudge else was Trump supposed to pick to help his chances?  Mike Pence?  Meatball Ron?  Little Marco Rubio?  Dr. Oz?  Herschel Walker?  Kari Lake?  Elise stefanik?  Nancy Mace?  MTG?  Matt Gaetz?  Lindsey Graham?  Eduardo Rafael Cruz?  Greg Abbott?  Mitt Romney?  Who's left for Trump to pick?

Youngkin is too savy to be heavily tainted by Trump's stank.

Burgum is too much of a DC outsider to be useful.

Donalds resides in the same state as Trump, a potential Constitutional complication.

@Surabees

Why is the Dem-media so viciously smearing @JDVance? Don't listen to their embarrassing gaslighting on social media and cable news, it's because they fear him.
