What's everyone's take on Trump choosing him?
Vance owns Bitcoins. So perhaps this is positive for US crypto holders. He's another Israel lover though.
RFK Jr. would have been an interesting pick for Trump. Not sure he would have accepted though. He is also pro-crypto and Israel.

What's everyone's take on Trump choosing him?
I think after the debate and the attempted assassination he could choose whoever he wanted without regard to potential demographics. He went with his gut feeling without worrying about "winning" because the election is already in the bag.
I think he wanted Vance because he is young and not a threat to him. I think he was disappointed with Pence and the election outcome and probably had a frank discussion with Vance about "total loyalty" and liked his answer.
-
The fact that he is young is a plus.
Otherwise I'm not familiar with him.
-
He's fine.
Not who I wanted, but I understand why he was picked.
His age is a plus, he's very smart, and he'll destroy Kamala in the debate so it's fine.
-
Shit, Vance would do more for border security in five minutes than what khlamidya did her entire shift.

I like what I've read and heard. Great life story. Military vet. Very smart. Very articulate.

Not sure it helped him as much as other choices could have. Relative unknown. Baggage is the word "Hilter" in previously describing Trump and mentions of no moral compass. The right will say, "We'll that was before he met him" the left will say "Sounds like he draws conclusions without all the facts" and "He sold his soul to be considered".
Will it cost him the election? IF he was going to win anyway, probably not. IF it is down to the wire, it could play a part as more than half the republican congress don't know him, so expecting the public to is a stretch

It didn't really matter who he picked in terms of impacting the election, because people vote the top of the ticket.
Vance's comments in 2016, eight years ago, were not much different than my own and many other Never Trumpers. But he did what I and many others did: gave Trump an opportunity to lead with an open mind and evaluated what he actually did as POTUS.
Nobody is going to vote for Biden over Trump because of comments Vance made in 2016. Just like nobody voted for Trump over Biden because Kamala Harris essentially called Biden a racist.

That's not really what I was saying. I was giving an opinion that there were likely better choices out there that could possibly have added to Trumps vote count. While JD likely won't take away from it, I personally don't seen him adding to it.

He will get votes from people in mixed marriages.
I don't know how many people that is, but if I go off, say TV commercials, it's 95% of our population.
So, it's a good move.

We all (us laypeople and the "experts") always spend a lot of time talking about the VP selection, but the numbers show that the VP selection does not dictate the outcome of elections, because people vote the top of the ticket.

I don't know what the actual numbers are, but using the eyeball test, it's at least half in Hawaii.

Vance is listed as 5'-7". He looks taller to me, at least 6'-2" or even 6'-3".
I think he was a good pick.

Agreed although I would have preferred Rubio.

Holy shit. That’s small for a leader. Maybe he’ll get some Desantis shoes.

Is a mixed marriage a man and a woman?

Vance is 6'3".

Vance is 6'3".
That's what I figured. Many sites keep listing him as 5'-7". Some even claim 5'-4".

J.D. Vance's height: Trump campaign slaps back at Google suggesting he is 5ft 7in... and shows how tall he really stands
As Vice Presidential hopeful J.D. Vance moves into the spotlight after being selected as former President Donald Trump's running mate in 2024, the campaign is setting the record straight on a number of issues - including his height.
Google search results identified Vance's height is 5'7," which appeared as a significant underestimation of his stature, based on his record in the Senate with his colleagues.
To set the record straight, a campaign official sent a photo of Vance standing next former President Trump, himself listed as 6'3 by his White House physician.
The spokesman sent the following photo to DailyMail.com and noted that Trump and Vance were ‘of similar height.’

Donald Trump with his chosen running mate Sen. J.D. Vance
It's not the first time that online search results have been wrong about the height of a significant political figure.
Vice President Kamala Harris griped in a recent interview with Katie Couric that Wikipedia listed her height as 5'2."
'That is absolutely incorrect. I am 5’4″ and a quarter,' Harris said cooly after Couric reported her height as 5'2."
'They just want to make us just smaller in every way,' she lamented.
Harris added she was 5'7" and a half when she wore heels.
'I've said this to my team, I don't know where that came from, I haven't been 5'2" since I was twelve,'" she said, clearly frustrated that the misinformation online had not been corrected.

Do they even make 7" or 8" lifts for men's shoes? That would be like walking on stilts. The photo is either doctored, Trump is nowhere near as tall as he claims, or J.D. is standing on a box.

Eric Trump is 6'5".
Barron Trump is 6'7"
The Donald was 6'3" but probably lost some height as he aged.

How tall is Vance?
Google has continually listed him at 5' 7".
A peurile attack on him by big tech. They fear him. google still obscures Charlton Heston from film search results.
-
How’s that lowest ever -6 rating looking now?
Good news is that he can only go up. Maybe.
-
I can't believe Cheney was only 5'8".

what a silly question
He is Donald Trumps choice,
end of thread
but what if Mr Trump changes his mind now that he is the oldest presidential candidate ?

Well, it used to be said that a picture is worth a thousand words. That is not the case any longer. I hope for Trump's sake he is not lying about his height, otherwise he is even more obese than we thought.
