    Why would Republican blue collar over 50 like Vance? Does having your social security cut feel good?
  • @WaterGirl49
    JD Will have to prove himself to me, he calld Trump a Hitler. Right Now I count him as a Pence.
  • I don't know anything about Vance. I was hoping that Vivek would be the nomination. another outsider, not some insider crony. I hope this guy doesn't backstab America like Pinhead Pence.
  • @boxxboyy3879
    Wasn’t this the same dude who literally called him “Hitler” lol oh wow
  • @jenala3896
    Where Robert De Niro 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
  • @clo999
    Are we pretending Trump chose Vance? The Heritage Foundation did.
  • Mr.Trump, lets somebody else decide your v.p can we not make a mistake like with Mike pence?I feel like we're doing this again
  • I was hoping it would have been Tim Scott I believe he would have been a great VP but I will continue to pray for our leaders
  • @Joerideabike
    Don’t act surprised; you knew it wouldn’t be anyone normal.

    I'm not going to lie. I'm disappointed, but that's on me because my choice wasn't picked, I wanted Byron as VP, but that would be difficult because they are both Floridians. At least it's not pence. Thank God for that!! I'll have to really look into JD, I have nothing against Ohio. My Daddy was a Buckeye(proudly no less), I'm a KY Wildcat, so it's close!! Pray for America!! God bless the USA🙏🇺🇸
  • "Mr. Trump the shooting has propelled you to the top, there is no way you can lose unless your VP pick is not only an unknown, but one who literally called you Hitler. So, who's k it gonna be? Gabbard? Ramaseamy? Desantis?" "Get me the Hitler guy!" My God 😂

    He is promising in my opinion...
  • The RNC stated that J D. Vance would be advise Donald John Trump. Since when? The Vice President does not advise the President. However, J.D. Vance is much smarter and it appears the campaigning positions should be reversed. He does not appear to be an ignoramus. Still, I'm not for the Republicans and the PROJECT 2025.
  • Booooooo. Worst choice with zero expierence as a human shield in the political system
  • @mammamia8882
    Sorry, I don’t support this, you could’ve chose Dr. Ben Carson, Byron Donald, Tim Scott, but another Ohio career politician? That is a no vote for me. No vote for Trump. I can’t cannot support this ticket. I’d rather suffer another four years under the wacko sleepy camel toe then to go with another freaking career politician! I am done. I love you, President Trump but you again chose wrong and I’m not the only one saying this, there are hundreds of thousands of people saying the same thing! I hope you win, but you’re not gonna win with my vote!
