Since JD Vance has been chosen as Trump's VP pick, Politico assembled a number of JD Vance's quotes about Donald Trump. Which is the worst? https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/15/jd-vance-donald-trump-comments-00168450
“Vance, like Trump, has argued for “broad-based tariffs”, a position in line with Trump, who is promising a 10% across-the-board tariff on all foreign imports, despite warnings from economists that it will fuel inflation. He also echoes Trump on immigration, advocating the completion of the border wall on the southern frontier with Mexico and opposing an amnesty for illegal immigrants.” https://www.theguardian.com/politic...ance-uk-first-islamist-country-nuclear-weapon What will a 10% tariff on imported steel do to US manufacturing?
It's telling he called Trump "America's Hitler", before DC politics corrupted his mind and/or his party told him what he can and cannot say.
Hitler was my 2nd pick. Trouble is that Adolf masterminded an effort to take over the world. Trump is far, far from a mastermind.
I also find it amazing that Trump would consider somebody who made these inflammatory comments. I guess if one “kisses the ring”…
Vance is simply a moron, and whatever he says, both critical or praiseworthy are the utterances of a pig ignorant person. In that respect he is a clone of Trump.
From reading his book, I thought he’d be insightful and have a social conscience. He seems to have changed.
I think the average working stiff will appreciate him. Trump is grooming the Republican Party to force America to return to a more stable footing. As the world changed around America, America didn't appreciate the effect it would have on is population. IOW, not enough mill operators switched to writing code. After four years of Biden, I would expect people to be more open minded and quit believing a demonstrably corrupt media.
I think it is precisely because he made these comments and then came groveling. Trump loves seeing someone squirm like that. And he doesn't want anyone who could possibly out stage him like an MTG. A groveling ring-kisser who won't get much of the spotlight is EXACTLY what Trump wants.
Nope. And he doesn't get that trade deficits are not actual monetary deficits. I don't see how he has an econ degree. He doesn't get the basics of comparative advantage . . . which is covered in HIGH SCHOOL econ classes. I'm convinced he cheated to get his degree. Hell, he even once mocked the whole idea of "time value of money" . . . another 101 concept. He may well be the most economically uninformed candidate we've ever had in a major party.
The worst for Democrats is the one where he accepted the nomination for Vice President. Another nail in the coffin for Biden and cackles...
Trump will be busy with his partisan Hate politics. Priorities will be actions similar to awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh. He’ll probably do a lot more of the ZTE-type deals to expand his personal wealth, to pay the NY Fraud bill and E Jean Carroll. https://www.businessinsider.com/tru...ons-to-trump-organization-tied-project-2018-5 Trump's controversial ZTE order came days after the Chinese government provided millions to a Trump Organization-tied project “ 2018 Within three days of the Chinese government agreeing to provide $500 million in loans to an Indonesian theme park that the Trump Organization has a deal to license President Donald Trump's name to, the president stunningly ordered sanctions be rescinded against a major Chinese telecom company. … President Xi of China, and I, are working together to give massive Chinese phone company, ZTE, a way to get back into business, fast," Trump tweeted Sunday. "Too many jobs in China lost. Commerce Department has been instructed to get it done!"”
Yes, I think he recognizes a fellow traveler with no ethical standards, who will do anything he says and not stand in his way like Pence, who managed to hang on to what was left of his moral sense.
Who almost got lynched for doing so. I'm not a big Pence fan, but at least he showed some integrity in the face of Trump's demands for fascism.
LOL lets compare JD Vance -who comes from nothing-to the privileged slacker DEI background of Kamala Harris Vance-born into a poor family, enlisted in the Marines, served honorably. From Wiki Vance's childhood was marked by poverty and abuse, and his mother struggled with drug addiction.[4] Vance and his sister Lindsey were raised primarily by his maternal grandparents, James (1929–1997) and Bonnie Vance (née Blanton; 1933–2005), whom they called "Mamaw and Papaw”. His grandparents on both sides had moved to Ohio from the Appalachian Mountains area in Kentucky Vance then attended Ohio State University. He graduated at the top of his class-summa cum laude, with membership in PHI BETA KAPPA he then did what 95% of all white males applying to Yale law school fail to do-he gained entrance into the most selective law school in the country. There he was an editor of the Yale version of the flagship law review publication-the Yale Law Journal. His best selling memoir helped him springboard into the national spotlight Now let's look at Kamala Harris: both her parents held doctorates. Her father was a tenured professor at Stanford University. She attended Howard University. There is no evidence she earned any honors at this school-a school ranked about 80 places below OSU in national rankings. She then attended Hastings Law School in california. It is ranked also about 80 places below Yale Law school. It is-at best-the 7th best law school in California. Despite her being an affirmative action poster child-she couldn't get into the top 6 schools in California. On top of that, she flunked the bar the first time she took it. Her political career was jump started when she had an affair with powerful California Dem Willie Brown who was twice her age. Her one job as VP was to secure the border She has completely failed in that endeavor Yeah I am happy to compare JD Vance with Kamala Harris
I disagree with you. (And the Left is more than hypocritical, wanting to heap taxes on American corporations but meanwhile complaining about tariffs) But as you know, that is a long complicated separate discussion. Please be more considerate not to take the discussion off topic in the first page. (You can always leave a link to a separate thread, if you actually want to have that discussion)
Last week many Democrats had never even heard this guy's name but this week they have the marching orders and they are clear, a smear and hate campaign it must be
You can compare whoever you want as long as you want. What you are artfully constantly avoiding is commenting on Vance saying that because Labour won the recent election in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland that the UK will be the first ‘Muslim’ country with Nuclear Weapons. Those were the utterances of a total moron, if Kamala Harris is a moron as well that is not the issue that I raised. Vance is pig ignorant, and his comments will be believed by like minded pig ignorant Americans, so not only is he a nasty piece of excrement, but a dangerous one too.
If Joe Biden does make it to the DNC Convention how many Democrats who are calling for Joe to step down believing he is a real threat to losing the WH will stand up and tell America Joe is the best choice for America?
