JD Vance appeals to nobody but MAGA freaks. Trump was going to win Ohio without Vance.

Dude isn't qualified at all. Only been a Senator for 18 months and didn't do shyt before that. In MAGA land all you need to be willing to do is kiss Trump's ass.

Publicly, he was basically a moderate before Trump. But after the success of his book, the party placed him on the assembly line, and soon he became radicalized. However, now I suspect he has always been a secret plant after learning he started working for Peter Thiel following law school. Peter Thiel's initial pet project was Blake Masters, who failed to beat Mark Kelly in 2022. JD, I suspect, was the backup plan.

After working at Sidley Austin LLP, Vance moved to San Francisco to work in the tech industry as a venture capitalist.[21] He served as a principal at Peter Thiel's firm, Mithril Capital, between 2016 and 2017.[22][23]

In 2016, Harper published Vance's book, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis. It was on The New York Times Best Seller list in 2016 and 2017.

In December 2016, Vance indicated that he planned to move to Ohio to start a nonprofit, potentially run for office,[27] and work on combating drug addiction in the Rust Belt.[2]

In 2019, Vance co-founded Narya Capital in Cincinnati with financial backing from Thiel, Eric Schmidt, and Marc Andreessen.[31] In 2020, he raised $93 million for the firm.[32] With Thiel and former Trump adviser Darren Blanton, Vance has invested in Rumble, a Canadian online video platform popular with the political right.[33][34]

In early 2018, Vance considered running for U.S. Senate against Sherrod Brown,[35] but decided not to.[36] In March 2021, Peter Thiel gave $10 million to Protect Ohio Values, a super PAC created in February to support a potential Vance candidacy;[37][38][39] Robert Mercer also gave an undisclosed amount.[37] In April, Vance expressed interest in running for the Senate seat being vacated by Republican Rob Portman.[40] In May, he launched an exploratory committee.[41]

In July 2021, Vance officially entered the race;[42] it was his first campaign for public office.[43] On May 3, 2022, he won the Republican primary with 32% of the vote,[44] defeating multiple candidates, including Josh Mandel (23%) and Matt Dolan (22%).[45] In the general election on November 8, Vance defeated Democratic nominee Tim Ryan with 53% of the vote to Ryan's 47%.[46]

Didn’t wanna have a minority close to him when he’s on that


I’m glad he picked Vance. I don’t think he adds much to the ticket besides being a millennial. And I’m not even sure that’s a positive.

Flop

Honestly, I think dude probably taking one of those "you miss every shot you don't take" opportunities

Sounds like a guy that'd be happen to win, but if they lose be on that "meh, oh well, this was stupid anyways."

 

[jay83]

Damn Joe Biden still has a chance. What a trash pick.
