So who does Trump pick as his Vice President?

[CarrollCoRaven]

Bingo.

Anyone with a shred of knowledge knows Vance grew up in Appalachia and comes from a line of blue collar rust belt workers. He grew up in the hillbilly hood basically amidst alcoholism, drug addiction, poverty and all the social ills associated with that part of the US. He got out on the strength of his brain, service to our country and hard work.

The reply by Shade above is a good example why he deserves the sh** he gets. He does not argue or make points from a position of knowledge or good faith. He's a troll essentially.

It's what they do.

It's what they do.

Especially when he can throw “shade” at a white person.

Only a republican could call a networth of 5million working class lol

I guess when your buddies are Trump, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel you're small fish.

I can't tell if this is ignorance or what.

He came from nothing. Served his country, authored a book, went to Yale, Clerked for SCOTUS justices, became a venture capitalist.

I guess the concept of self-made man is alien to guys like you.

He may have once been working class but he no longer is that's not how it works


Bill Gates started Microsoft from his garage ,is he working class?

I fully give him credit from working his way OUT of working class and becoming on of societys Elites.

Only y'all could pretend VICE PRESIDENT is a blue collar job lol

Ok, i want to use this particular avenue of discussion (cause its not really too hot button) to highlight how shade operates. He says things like he’s responding to what someone on here said. Not one person VP was a blue collar job. No one really said jd vance is currently ‘working class’. But shade will try and pretend someone did. He MISREPENTS to try and make an argument.

Its not working class (I gather thats his current networth you are referring to) but 5 mil today is not rich. I would say its upper middle class. However, it also depends upon what age you are when you have it. 5 mil to say a 35 year old with many working years left in their lives is far different then 5 mil to a 70 year old. Comfortable versus rich feels more appropriate.

thanks for the reply .
That's a good point, but it seems like a silly rule to me.
You have to hire the best, not by race, gender or place of residence, but it is what it is.

Vance is an interesting pick as he is very green, however, Trump had no government experience himself. Vance is clearly a highly intelligent very motivated individual. He buys Trump working class and sets up the R party for the future if Trump wins as his age is a benefit. Trump did not pick another old white guy who was wealthy to begin with. I think he could have gone with Haley to get the female/minority vote but the more I think about it the more I see why Trump picked him.

We can also say Obama was pretty green too

Right, but I never imagined Trump would choose someone without significant gov't experience. I actually thought he might pick Tim Scott.

He already tried that way lol. Imo I think he's looking for somebody to hand the mantle off too if he wins. Vance was a guy who was totally against Trump at the beginning but then totally bought into him after he witnessed what Trump did in his 1st term.
