I know he’s not the right guy for it but the reactions if Ted cruz was selected would be so delicious

Rand Paul. Will work well with DOGE.

That don't prove anything. Vance was anti Trump and changed his mind.

JD hasn't been in there long enough to be too stained with swamp mud.

This. Trump really is more aligned with Paul. Doesn't want war. Less government. Don't know his stance on the border, but likely close to Trumps. Less waste. Either way they take positions on policy. God forbid Kamala had won. She wouldn't know how to handle anything I just typed.

Trump won't get it perfect by any means, but he's got the Senate and likely House and is a lame duck. SCOTUS as well. There's no excuses these first 2 years at this point. Get shit done.

This is Trump's swan song. He's got nothing to lose, he's faced death, humiliation, malicious prosecution, etc. I don't think he fears death at this point - hell, he's in his late 70's. That's Vance's one weakness - he has the rest of his life before him; that being said:

Trump is out to build a legacy for this country. Free from globohomo, bankster/pharma oligarchy, he will hopefully give the reins of government back to the people.

You don't get into politics without knowing the risks. He's a year younger than me. If I die tomorrow I have no regrets. He seems like that type. I didn't like him at first. He's grown on me though.

I rather die doing something I thought was good than die a scumbag. I do like Desantis, but people will bitch about this take, he too nasally and whiney sounding. That's part of the reason RFK couldn't make it. I think he's smart but I don't want to hear gravel throat every time he addresses the country. Fine in a cabinet position, but your voice matters. Kamala's voice was like a wounded goose. Not that anything of relevance came out of her mouth beside a cum load.
