    Default Vice President Vance

    https://www.politico.com/news/2024/0...vance-00168277
    https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-ne...-24/index.html

    Trump announced his running mate, JD Vance of Ohio.

    I know very little about him.

    Wrote a book I didn't read. Made into a movie I haven't seen.

    Supposed to be one of the smartest guys in the Senate.

    Opinions?

    Seems like a good pick, solid guy and not a silver-spoon career politician.

    USMC veteran and might be the first beard in the Oval Office in 90 years!

    He will mop the floor with Kamala. His book and the movie are very good by the way.

    Like many R positions, I really like about 80% of the platform, ambivalent on 10%, and eye-roll/dislike the other 10%. Vance seems about the same.

    I don't know anything about JD Vance other than he enlisted in the US Marines after 9/11. For me that's enough to know I'll stand with my Marine brother. It's a short bar, I admit. But those of us that agreed to sign our names on that line have a bond others will never understand. The fact that he never leads with his military service is even more of a reason for me to support him.

    It's a measure of the civility in this country that no ones seems to fear constantly pissing off the people who own lots of guns.

    I don?t know much on his policies still reading on those. But he seems like a really solid guy. I just finished his book I had to read it when he was announced as trumps VP. It?s a good read for sure. The guy came from nothing and very much has made something out of himself with the help of no one. He understand the problems that are plaguing this country. I think he will do good.

    Also finished the movie the other night. It touches a little on what happened in his life but obviously the book goes into way more detail.
