“I’m a Never Trump guy” ~ J.D. Vance

“I’m a Dick Pic Collecting Commie Homo Troll” ~ cjkunt

Title says it all.

2016?

I'm not Republican, so let's take that for whatever it's worth. However, I don't see how Vance is necessarily the best pick right now for a few reasons.

1. Legacy. Probably the real reason Trump picked him is because he wants someone to carry on his legacy should something happen to him. The issue is that I see JD more as an opportunist. He is getting roasted by his own party for a reason. I am open to the possibility of him changing, time will tell.

2. Vance doesn't really add anything to the ticket for Trump. I see the strategy, win rural whites in Appalachia. The thing is, Trump was their only voting choice anyway. Trump is the type of candidate who is very cut and dry. You either love him or hate him. Few people overall are indifferent to him unless you live in a bubble.

3. Bad optics. This one is heavy on interpretation. I know people shouldn't focus on race, but it would be disinfectant to not reference it. The fact of the matter is, in this heavily woke/diverse sensitive climate,(whatever) you have two upper class white guys on the ticket. The Republicans aren't really getting anyone outside their standard bread and butter. I acknowledge their are black/Hispanics who vote Trump, but it's NOT at a level to swing states that are otherwise Blue and Purple.

Feel free to debate my points, but I'm just being objective about this Vance decision.
