Trump 2024 — The second term

You think Trump would replace Vance? Should he?

I mean I’m sure there was some strategic reason for picking him vs Biden at the top of the ticket.

That strategy might not be the same with Kamala at the top.

I think Trump picked Vance because he likes him. There's not really any strategic reason other than that he's smart for an Ohio State grad, a pretty good debater. Often presidential candidates choose a running mate from a key battle ground state believing that picking someone from that state will bring in more votes. There are other strategies as well.

I don't really see it as a strategic move. I think Trump feels like he's going to win, so he just picked who he wants.

BREAKING: Trump to return to Butler, PA for rally in honor of Corey Comperatore

“I will be going back to Butler, Pennsylvania, for a big and beautiful rally, honoring the soul of our beloved firefighting hero, Corey, and those brave patriots injured two weeks ago.”

I never thought I would say this, but after Trump's reaction as the secret service stood him up and now a return to Butler Pennsylvania I am truly impressed with his bravado. And I mean that in the most complimentary and positive sense.

Those memes where the secret service are trying to pick up his enormous balls may be more true than just hyperbolic.

@jamil has valid points.

For myself I believe he picked someone he believed with largely outside the Republican Party machine. He knows what the party did to him in 2016. Pence, Haley and the rest of the party Insiders helped undermine him. I don't think he's looking for a repeat.

I think the narrative that he picked Vance to have a younger standard bearer for MAGA fits pretty well.

His 2016 pick was strategic. Maybe he learned his lesson about strategic picks. And went with someone ideologically aligned. Who he hopes won’t stab him in the back.

Agree- Vance offers nothing strategically. For a close election, a Haley or Youngkin is a strategic choice.

You mean when he won? He needed to convince people he wasn’t a Brooklyn Democrat, so he picked a clear conservative. Pence toed the line well during times of chaos and bs. His legacy would be garbage had he overthrown an election as VP.

While I do think Kamala is enjoying a honeymoon and full on embrace from the media and Hollywood- the polls are all tight and a race again. Golf needs to take a break.

The first order of business for the 2016 Trump team was winning, a highly improbable outcome was achieved, so the pick was highly successful. In governing it sucked…

Or if greatness if he had the balls to force the courts to do their jobs…

Which they would have had the lawyer with hair dye dripping down his face had any evidence.

Pence didn’t undermine Trump. He didn’t add controversy. He didn’t add stress to Trump.

Pence undermined Trump at EVERY turn. He is Christian but he is also a big government RINO too…

He was a consummate bootlicker for most of it.

Out of curiosity, what percentage of the populations of those states are considered to be "mentally retarded".

51 and 57 % according to the poll

That's the correlation that I would expect! Of course, correlation does not equal causation. I don't know if leftism is a symptom or a cause.
