So what you're saying is that anyone trump would have picked from his party you would have criticized.
Unironically yes, because Trump is the worst team builder of anyone I have ever seen, and there are no good options available in the Republican party* anyway
But this has been
BY FAR the best choice Trump has
ever made in his political career (even though I'm probably more negative on Vance than positive, he is
HEAD AND SHOULDERS above ANYONE Trump picked for
ANY POSITION during his previous term).
Actually Anthony Scaramucci was pretty good, but he only lasted ten days. And Michael Flynn was good, and lasted 22 days. So assuming he doesn't dump Vance in the coming weeks, this is effectively the first positive appointment Trump has ever made. Every other appointment Trump made (Yes that includes Amy Coney Barrett and the other courtcucks) was an
absolute disaster. It really makes me wonder how he was ever successful in real estate development, as he wasn't doing the building himself, had no construction experience, and had to assemble a team of real estate development guys, or maybe he just inherited that from his father?
He could have picked someone like Tulsi Gabbard (yes, I am advocating for both a woman and a military official in civil leadership, which is extremely ironic, but times are tough!) or RFK Jr. Either one would have easily won in a landslide, as you'd capture enough independents to win,
which is what every election is about, as 40% of voters are straight party voters on each side, with the election decided by the remaining 20% of independent thinkers.
It's funny how much importance is placed on VP because they never, ever do anything at all. They all get a project to work on, the way the first ladies do. I had to look up what Kamala's project was because I didn't even remember (it was the border). I think I remember one time years ago Al Gore used his VP powers for a single tiebreaker vote but otherwise things would have operated just the same if we never even had vice presidents at all. Which is why Biden "picked" Kamala in the first place (remember he hated her and was caught with that photo of handwritten notes spelling out her full name and reminding him to say why he "liked" her when he made the announcement). It was all done for diversity points.
*Thomas Massey is technically a Republican but a RINO. Rand Paul is good too but he's really only a Republican because he can't be a Democrat, and opposes most of the awful stuff the GOP pushes.
