The fact that you think the guy you ridiculed for 4 years (“mother”, straight camps, anti-abortion in every circumstance, etc) turned around and “saved America” says a lot about your gullibility. |
The only possible reason for Trump to pick Vance is that, unlike Pence, he will not in fact do the decent thing should it come to that. Vance is a cynical grifter who will always choose party over country. |
There were some comments about Vance being the racist white guy like Trump. Interestingly, Vance’s wife Usha is of Indian origin. He had a Hindu wedding with her and his middle son is named Vivek ( a Hindu name) |
Vance has one and a half years experience as a Senator. How does that qualify him to be a heartbeat away from the presidency? It’s a disaster in the making. |
If you don't understand the ramifications of the decisions Pence made on our country, then the ascribing of gullibility is misplaced. |
And yet, the GOP will claim he is more qualified than Harris. |
This. It is not the same as Lester Holt deploying with a military unit to cover a story. He was a Marine, he trained as a Marine and worked as a Marine. |
Just like Obama, who wasn't one step away and fundamentally transformed this country? |
(literally named for Vivek Ramaswamay) |
He wrote for a military newspaper, not even Stars and Stripes. |
Let's hope Vance is not swift-boated the way John Kerry was. My feeling is, no matter what role a soldier serves in, when they volunteer for the military they deserve respect. My dad was a WWII vet (marine) who mostly served in a non-combat role, but that does not mean he couldn't have been hurt or lost his life. I say this as a Dem. |
All the people commenting “but he was a reporter” have no clue what they are talking about it. He trained and served as a Marine. When you serve, especially when you are deployed, in today’s warfare, there is no such thing as “non combat.” There are no cushy jobs for active duty on deployment, especially lower enlisted- everyone is in harms way, working hard, and is part of a bigger mission. So many ignorant people commenting on things they know nothing about. |
None of this precludes him from being racist. |
