Stupid stupid stupid move.  Vance brings zero to the table.  Zilch.  Nada.

There's no magic unicorn in this race and by the grace of God the GOP will be seated.

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.

Pence
Vance

I hope that's their only similarity.  :0001:
Maybe the conspiracy nuts will find some significance into their surnames having five letters and ending in "nce," but I don't.

Pence was Presbyterian, I thought.

I stand corrected on my previous comment. I didn't realize J.D. was a practicing Catholic. Had I remembered that, I certainly wouldn't have implied he wasn't a Christian. I apologize to the Catholics here.
Yes, he was Presbyterian when he was elected as he had left Catholicism.

Thanks for the catch.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No kidding!!  I've committed suicide three times already.  It's that damn programming!   And someone needs to stop all those voices in my head telling me to kill kill kill!

With this Russian-loving a**hole on this ticket, this seals the deal that I'm not voting for Trump. Any thoughts of me voting for Trump just went out of the window. I liked it when the GOP hated Russia.

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.
