  1. The real reason Trump chose Vance was because his last name is 5 letters and Trump thinks it looks good marketing wise next to his own name. It’s the same reason he chose Pence the first time around.

  2. Honestly, I think Vance did most of the job showing the people why he was chosen by Trump.

    >It was as Vance attempted to answer the final question of the evening that he laid bare the entire reason that he was standing on a debate stage with Walz at all.

    >After O’Donnell, the veteran anchor of the network’s nightly newscast, asked Vance about his assertion that he would have not voted to certify President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win and pressed him on whether he’d vote to certify a Harris victory this year, Vance attempted to dodge the query by stating that he was “focused on the future.”

    >He then launched into a bizarre rant in which he reiterated largely baseless claims about the “threat of censorship” posed by Democrats and how Harris — not Trump — is the true “threat to democracy” before closing with a claim that Russia’s interference in the 2020 election — something that was investigated and confirmed by the GOP-led Senate Intelligence Committee — amounted to “$550,000 worth of Facebook ads” and nothing more.

    >Walz responded with a question, asking Vance directly if Trump had indeed lost the 2020 election. And when Vance again said he was “focused on the future,” Walz pointed out that his GOP opponent had delivered a “damning non-answer.”

    >But the Minnesotan wasn’t done. After Vance droned on some more about the “censorship” threat he attributed to Democrats, he delivered a winning shot that one Democratic operative amounted to “game, set and match.”

    >Whether Trump lost the election, Walz said was “not a debate,” because he had lost the election.

    >“This is not a debate. It’s not anything anywhere other than in Donald Trump’s world. Because look, when Mike Pence made that decision to certify that election, that’s why Mike Pence isn’t on the stage,” he said.

    >“What I’m concerned about is, where is the firewall with Donald Trump — where is the firewall if he knows he could do anything, including taking an election and his vice president’s not going to stand up?”

  4. Vance would be in for a big shock when finding out that there’s no such thing as a vice dictator.

    Vance did well with getting the hardcore MAGA people excited about him since he will obviously do whatever Trump wants. But he really screwed up with appealing to independents and moderates, especially with the J6 answers

  6. Lemme save you all a click:

    It’s because Vance is a spineless, loyal “Yes Man”, and that’s exactly the kind of person Trump wants to have as Vice President.

  7. Is it possible that trump DIDN’T choose vance? I mean, he is so addled by now that maybe his puppet masters told him that vance was his vp.

    naw.

    The reason he chose vance is simple: vance showed him that he was the person with the lowest morals out of the few contenders for the job. He called trump Hitler, and trump took it as a compliment.
