I know a lot of farmers in OHIO. He is not liked at all. They are gonna vote blue this year. Trust me. You can have him!

[agentj]

JD Vance is the finest bootlicker alive today. Excellent choice!

[nowshipping]

Vance is being chosen as the future of the party. He’s a Trump mini me. Any other choice had too much of their own identity.

[Andrina-flef]

He chose a VP who once compared Trump to Hitler himself. This is so comical.

[LoCoLorHay]

Trumpy had to make sure this VP doesn't make the same mistake Pence did, by thinking for himself and following the United States Constitution.

Good luck J.D. make sure to get a good criminal lawyer

It's unnatural how much influence and power Donald J Trump has over the minds and souls of the American masses

[eCoArise]

"I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a--hole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler, " ~ J.D. Vance in 2016.

I had thought voters were too smart to elect JD Vance but I was wrong. What I wasn't wrong about was immediately knowing just how dangerous he is. People call TFFG "Damian" but no, JD Vance is the antiChrist. He's young, he's neat & clean, he appears smarter'/tougher/controlled, he also appears to have no morals. He is exactly as I remember Damian in The Omen, which I saw in HS.

TFFG is a burden to the Heritage Foundation. They like to tout they are family-oriented in their christian nationalism. They've forgiven TFFG for so long, but I'm pretty sure the Epstein files will eventually make it into corporate media (former MSM) and they are looking for ways to get rid of him. Not sure what the PA rally was about because there's too much not to at least question whether or not it was staged, but TFFG possibly getting lucky on that day...with Vance in the VP seat, Don Jr needs to understand his daddy's days are numbered.

Wisconsin and Michigan hates JD Vance we are not Ohio

[ayungclas]

Can’t wait to hear what Steven Colbert has to say about this absurd situation.

[maryhorn]

It amazes me that these in our government have degrees-and law degrees-from Yale and Harvard as well as other prestigious schools, but have the least amount of integrity. A criminal and a liar-good team.

[youknowwhoiamgoddammit]

So nobody learned anything from what the last sucker to be Trump's VP went through, didn't they? 😂

[brothertaro]

Utterly horrible pick, as fully expected

[nvanvanva]

A 'successful cinematographer' doesn't make a good choice for VP. That AG is dumb as a box of rocks.

[bigfathen]

He picked the one that hates him the most

[pamelamartin]

People learn and change. Otherwise, you're wasting time on this planet.

[kennyw]

He wanted Mike the pillow biter Lindell but he is too busy in civil court.

[williamjohns]

Ask jd what he thinks of trump, bet he lies🌊🌊🌊

[haydenwilliams]

Pence did not endorse Diaper Don because he almost offed him.
