The choice elevates a onetime fierce critic who became a zealous follower of the former president.

    A VP candidate who has an extensive history of talking shit on video about the president he plans to serve. Excellent choice. /s

      Interestingly, Vance once called Trump “America’s Hitler.”

        Are we incorrectly assuming he used “Hitler” as pejorative? I certainly think it is a bad thing, but he is a Repub so he could have meant it as praise.

        Once again reinforcing the negative connotation of “Ohio” in zoomer slang - e.g.:

        Vance got dat skibidi Ohio rizz no cap on god

      I would pay a lot of money for someone to take a giant screen to Trump rallies and play clips of him talking shit.

      Vance is an opportunist who will say or do anything that he perceives will get him power and attention. So, he’s just like Trump.

      As if Republicans care. Cults don’t care about reality, and they won’t care that it’s obvious Vance stands for nothing.

    Good. Doubling down with a MAGA-MAGA ticket brings minimal value. Pretty sure he already had all the MAGAs anyway. Probably thinks he’s sure to win now and doesn’t need a boost anymore, but that remains to be seen.

    Was actually a little worried about a Rubio pick. Similar to picking Pence last time, would’ve been throwing the non-MAGAs a small bone.

    Almost feels like this is the first good news in weeks. Been a rough period.

    What a terrible choice. Like Vance brings basically nothing to the ticket. Actually gives me some hope.

    Why does he look like he should be wearing a Confederate uniform? Alternatively why does he look like he should be saying ugabooga?

    This is your friendly reminder that Donald Trump needed a new VP because he sent a rabid mob to hang his last one.

    He was voted most likely to be hanged or assassinated by his own party his senior year. What a shoe in!

      If Trump wins, the number of dem senators won’t matter for long, possibly not even long enough for them to elect one (republican governor appoints the interim senator). And if he loses, doesn’t this guy get to remain senator?

    Excellent, I was worried he would pick someone compelling.
