    He doesn’t really call him Hitler here. At worst, he calls him a demagogue. But Vance at this time was one of millions of GOP who were saying much the same. It wasn’t until Trump beat Hillary the GOP establishment rallied around Trump. And even then, it was often muted.

    FWIW, people whom Trump roasted like Graham and Rubio quickly became best buddies with Trump. That’s the nature of politics and not unique to Trump. I’m sure many of Bernie’s supporters would have acquiesced to Hillary had she won.

    So you're saying that the information regarding his party affiliation is fake news?

    Who is Usha Vance, wife of Trump VP pick J.D. Vance

    The daughter of Indian immigrants, Chilukuri attended Yale University, graduating summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in history, with membership in Phi Beta Kappa. She then attended Cambridge University in England as a Gates Cambridge Scholar, receiving a Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) in 2010. In 2013, she earned a juris doctor from Yale Law School, where she was the executive editor of the Yale Law Journal and a member of the Yale Journal of Law & Technology.

    Chilukuri met her future husband, author J.D. Vance, while they were students at Yale, a relationship encouraged by their teacher Amy Chua.

    They married in 2014 in Kentucky, in an interfaith ceremony. They have three children: Ewan (born 2017), Vivek (born 2020), and Mirabel (born 2021). Chilukuri is Hindu and her husband is Catholic.

    The only condolence I can offer the Kennedy family is that no matter how stressful the Cuban missle crisis was, jfk would have definitely not been able to withstand January 6th. The day our democracy almost ended.

    Bernie's criticisms of Hillary were on the margins and they were based on policy. He also complained about her association with big business. He never used very strong language suggesting that she was unfit for office unlike what Rubio, Graham, Cruz and Vance said about Trump back in 2016.

    What are you talking about? drunk idiots? I’m talking about Trumps lawyer, John Eastman, crafting his plan to ignore the election results and substitute the “fake electors” in his 5 disputed states. You really haven’t heard of this, or are you just playing dumb? It all hinged on some legal theory that if pence didn’t accept the results, and name Biden the winner, as required by the constitution, then they could sub in their fake electors and claim they won. The sober idiots chanting hang Mike pence we pissed that he didn’t go along with it. Trump reportedly said Pence deserved to be hanged for not going along with it. Thats the kind of VP is looking for this time…

    GOP have a decent bullpen now for 2028. Vance, DeSantis and Haley. Rubio and Youngkin at the back end of that. All relatively young. I’m sure there will be a couple of additions to that list.

    Oh look, there is your answer @snatchmagnet, in the post above …. JD Vance has already said he was willing help Trump illegally ignore the election results if given the chance, something Pence was unwilling to do….

    How long until some college girl he barely knew steps up and claims he raped her 20 years ago???
    Isn't this usually the first step against up and coming righties?
