JD Vance is a solid populist pick. The dude has also been one of the fiercest advocates for Appalachia and the "Forgotten Working Class" for several decades now. He definitely is cut from the same cloth as Jim Webb if anyone remembers that guy. Probably the kind of guy who would have been a Union Democrat 40 years ago if we are being honest.

He also gets Trump the favored son bump in Ohio and to a lesser extent Pennsylvania, which are both critical for the coming election.
 
What do you guys thinknof JD Vance being picked?

I think Vance is definitely far from the worst choice. A long political career ahead of him, with populism here to stay means that he knows if he doesn't play this right, his career is over before he turns 45. Trump could have picked WAY worse.
 
If Trump is also able to get RFK to drop out, and endorse Trump (with a secretary position), that really seals the deal. That's what a unity ticket looks like, the democrats can't react and will probably do a crazy Paul Wellstone memorial cult chant like in '02.

It gives RFK a way to bow out without looking like a putz, and keeps the attempted assassination there consistently. Let RFK do something with the FDA and leave it at that.
 
lol maybe the protestors outside the DNC are going to be fine, this turnout is grim and they don’t normally do wild things unless they have numbers to back things up.

I checked in earlier. I heard bullhorn speakers marching through the background detached from the official livestream. Take it with a grain of salt they’re not reporting the movement behind the scenes.

If I were Trump, I would promise RFK the cabinet position if he stays -in-. The man is absolutely hoovering up the NeverTrump vote from Biden.

Man that failed assassination really took the wind out of their fucking sails, huh?
