Trump picks Ohio Sen. JD Vance for vice president
« on: July 15, 2024, 03:17:10 pm »
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-vice-president-running-mate-pick-jd-vance-rcna157485


Former President Donald Trump has chosen Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, as his vice presidential running mate, taking a once-strident critic and elevating him as the leading heir to his political legacy.

Vance, who will turn 40 in August, offers a youthful contrast to Trump, 78, and President Joe Biden, 81.

He would be the third-youngest vice president in history — behind John Breckinridge (36 years old upon taking office in 1857) and Richard Nixon (40 years and 11 days in 1953). And Vance's selection comes just days after Trump survived an assassination attempt Saturday, underlining the gravity of the vice presidential selection in stark terms.

Only downside I see is that we now have a possible Dem pickup in the Senate as JD will have to be replaced.

I believe that if J. D. becomes VP, the Republican governor names his replacement.

That is only temporary until an election is held.

And doesn't obviate the fact it will be difficult to fill the vacancy with such a stalwart conservative voice as JD is

Yes, Republican Governor DeWine will select his replacement.

Read "Hillbilly Elegy." Can't vouch for his day-to-day politics, but the man has a sold grasp on poverty and the gutting out of the middle class as he crawled out of it -- literally.

The tweeter was responding to someone who asked whether J.D. is a Christian. I kind of don't think he is (though I really don't know) but while that certainly is important to his soul, it's not the first thing I would demand of a VP, even though I'm an evangelical Christian. I agree with the poster's comment about the first 20 years of his life, though. The book is heart-rending.

Trump had zero government experience (other than paying off politicians with campaign contributions) before he was elected, and the Republicans seem to think he did well enough to nominate him again. (I vehemently disagree, as I've made abundantly clear up to this point.) So at this point, the experience thing is out the window.

If anything is a concern, he's a Marine. Retired Marines are among the most unstable people in America—the government programs them into being vicious fighters, but never deprograms them. It's a big factor in the 22 suicides a day.

As a Catholic, like JD.  I was told my whole life I'm not a Christian.

So he has that going for him! ;)

Inexperience in what exactly?  If it is in government, then that makes him even more valuable to American citizens who have had quite enough of +50 year politicians like Biden and McConnell, to name a couple.

Here's a news flash: you don't need to have "served" for decades in Congress or even been a governor to be qualified to be president. Every one of us is qualified, as long as we were born here - and I suspect most of us would have done a better job than quite a few of the presidents since at least 1963.

Well, he is one smart cookie @jmyrlefuller he graduated from OH state in 2 years Summa Cum Laude.  Sure, inexperience is a concern. That's a given but IIRC he has law experience so I don't think he's totally unaware of the Constitution and ins and outs of government as Trump was.

As for him being a retired Marine and being unstable .... there's nothing to back up your claim that he's unstable. I do think he deserves a pat on the back for serving our country.

I've done a little bit of research on him and so far he seems to lean to the right of Trump.

Let's count our blessings right now; no Rubio and no Vivek!  In addition J.D. is 39 which is another positive. He is an author, grew up poor and struggled. 

One big plus, McConnell didn't want him in the Senate -- that casts my vote for him right there.

At a glance I see more positives than negatives about him.

Not having been in the Senate for 100 years like Biden doesn't mean he's inexperienced. He certainly understands economic issues, having worked for or founded investment firms. While he wasn't in combat, he was a Marine, and I think that counts for something when it comes to issues of national security.

It's also my firm belief that the more non-lifetime-politicians we get in D.C., the better. Rand Paul is a medical doctor, as are a few current members of Congress. My former congressman, David McKinley, is a professional engineer. That's okay with me. No more John Kerrys, Joe Bidens, Nancy Pelosis, etc., who never really held jobs in the real world, but only spent their entire adult lives rising up the political ladder.

Yes, he was Presbyterian when he was elected as he had left Catholicism.

Thanks for the catch.

New blood is welcome.  However, Trump encountered great difficulty owing to his lack of government experience.  He didn't know how DC worked, and he got rolled.  As it turns out, a private sector career is not such a boon.

JD Vance is little known, and that presents another challenge: defining him before the democrats perform their hatchet job.

@SteveDeaceShow
I just got the following statement on JD Vance from Aaron Baer, who is the president of Ohio's Center of Christian Virtue:
"There are few leaders in America that understand the challenges that our families and children are facing today like Senator J.D. Vance. Senator Vance has been a champion for life, family, and freedom. I've seen how his sincere Christian faith gives him courage to stand for what's right, even when it doesn't make him popular with the most powerful forces in culture."

As an aside from me, obviously Vance's recent comments on the so-called "abortion pill" were disappointing. But Baer comes highly respected by those I highly respect. So here's hoping that was an uncommon misstep, because this is a very strong and encouraging endorsement.

Not having been in the Senate for 100 years like Biden doesn't mean he's inexperienced. He certainly understands economic issues, having worked for or founded investment firms. While he wasn't in combat, he was a Marine, and I think that counts for something when it comes to issues of national security.

It's also my firm belief that the more non-lifetime-politicians we get in D.C., the better. Rand Paul is a medical doctor, as are a few current members of Congress. My former congressman, David McKinley, is a professional engineer. That's okay with me. No more John Kerrys, Joe Bidens, Nancy Pelosis, etc., who never really held jobs in the real world, but only spent their entire adult lives rising up the political ladder.

He's been supportive of the Jan. 6 political prisoners, according to the journalist who's done the most to publicize their plight.

If memory serves, @JDVance1 is the only GOP senator who reached out to me early on seeking information on J6ers and I believe he donated to help the families.
He is a solid Midwestern dude with a very impressive wife who will be tough on them media, Democrats, and neocons.
