JD Vance is an opportunist, which was apparent even at the time his book became popular, before he ever entered politics. He's a turncoat who despised Trump before he understood Trumpism was the way to more power and riches.

Harris is your regular politician, slightly corrupt like they all are, but by no means rotten.

However Biden can see his way to stepping aside now and letting Harris fight the good fight. With a centrist (or even conservative) VP as young as Vance, for good measure. I'd like Kinzinger.

That is plain silly. She was a drug addict. He lives by his mom now, who is in recovery

A company? Do you mean Harper Collins?

He means Peter Thiel, who is Vance's owner.

Is the movie any good? I’ve neither watched it or read the book

The book was a bestseller. (I haven't read it but I've certainly heard of it.) It's a memoir - so people have complained about some inaccuracies or exaggerations, but they don't understand memoirs. Memoirs aren't autobiographies, they are the story of someone's life.

Not very good.

Vance is willing to participate in trying to overturn an election. Keep that nonsense out of power.

Yes he did.

Given the odds that we may well get one of them in the oval given the ages of Trump and Biden, let’s talk through the merits of these VP candidates and their records. Besides being a mouthpiece for Trump I don’t know much about Vance. And Harris’ record as a DA in CA doesn’t sit well with me…
