    Vance is quite probably the worst VP pic in modern history. Palin riled up the base as intended. Mondale added gravitas as intended. What has Vance added to the Trump campaign?

    And with Trump’s age and obvious cognitive decline, he’s not the future of MAGA. Trump won’t be the Fuhrer of Project 2025. Vance will be.

      Silicon valley money. Hundreds of millions of dollars in dark money basically, and a lot of power brokers in tech working behind the scenes for the campaign.

      He brings nothing from a “fill the gap” stance because he’s exactly like Trump, but less addled by age. The pick was stupid from that perspective but if you’re money hungry, he brought it.
