I admire his ability to call someone an idiot without calling them an idiot

[SmoothJK]

Imagine a debate between this brilliant man and Kamala...

[Marcoose]

The ability to be critical, without being cruel. This guy will be a great VP, and an even better future president.

[elizabethmccarthy]

Did that woman just say the root cause of homelessness was lack of access to a home?

[ThailandDantotherescue]

This dude is as smooth as ive ever seen... He actually got people to answer questions.

Great VP pick!

[Beeheezey-.]

The more I see on this Man, the more I like him. He's VERY INTELLIGENT and very honest.

[pearlwhite]

Thank you for presenting some of Vance's questioning. I am so impressed with his demeanor and knowledge of these subjects. He's a great VP pick.

[jenniferharris]

WOW! So excited to have him as a VP!!! What an upgrade!

[kenjacob]

JD Vance is an excellent thinker speaker in questioner Maker. He was an excellent pick for Trump.

[Franimus]

I love that he's humble enough to admit when he's not sure of something, and that he's going to look into it some more, rather than plowing forward obstinately to prove a point. I'm pretty sure that makes him the smartest man in that whole city!!!

JD and Vivek are good friends. It's obvious these 2 have talked issues at a very high level. Vivek is my guy, but this pick is awesome for Trump. My hope is Vivek is in a high level cabinet position...he's much too smart to be on the sidelines.

[laever]

Thank you, for giving us the opportunity to get to know him better. I appreciate this.

[tel]

This is only a highlight/supercut reel, but he's managed to be both sharp in his questioning without being disrespectful or combatative. Well done.

[speeddemon]

Ya not gonna lie...i know very lil about this Vance guy...but from hearing the way he speaks and asked questions and laying things out the way he has in this is growing on me.

[mummbamiester]

It’s so refreshing and makes me hopeful to hear we have a small minority of people with common sense and critical thinking.

[thepurpleenigma]

The best pick for VP hands down. Can’t wait to elect this guy as President in 2028!

[davidroberson]

I like that he is intelligent, calm, and doesn't do the attack thing like others such as Ted Cruz would have. It makes him seem like an adult and means the response isn't as heated.

Most importantly he doesn't have a Northeast accent. I'm so tired of hearing people like that. He also has a beard. I think it is time for another bearded president.

I like that he acknowledges the other side with positive words even while pointing out that they are wrong in his opinion. This is the leader we need. I think I might vote for Trump for the first time because of this guy and Trump saying he would pick a libertarian cabinet member.

[MommeeMadre]

Just finished JD's book.

MUST READ!

[dwaynebogart]

Mr Vance you are right on in your assessments and advise. Your discernment and intelligence are true qualities of leadership. As a white male, retiree I never asked for a free dime in my life and worked my butt off to be a legitimate citizen. I got jobs by being the best at what I did, not because of my color or lack there of.

[GreySix]

Admirable the way he exposes idiocy without directly calling its adherents idiots.
