Vance says he will back Trump's 2024 presidential campaign

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: The Hill

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), a rising conservative star who won a hard-fought race to replace retired Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), announced Tuesday that he will back Donald Trump in the 2024 Republican presidential primary.

Vance, who won Ohio’s competitive Senate Republican primary last year after receiving Trump’s endorsement, told radio host Hugh Hewitt “the simple fact is Donald Trump’s policies were incredibly good for this country and he’s very popular among Republican voters.”

“In Ohio Republican circles, I’d say well over half the people in our party want Trump to run and will vote for him in the primary if he does. You know, look, I’m planning to support the [former] president in ’24,” Vance said.

“I’m actually going to have an article come out here in the next couple of days that explains why,” he added.

I was actually hoping Vance would care enough about the state he claims to love to be another Rob Portman who worked with Biden to help the state.

I was wrong!

who will “actually have an article come out.”

As Vince Gill chimed in, “Everybody’s waiting for the next big thing.”

Vance. No governance. No leadership. No money management. Just a conscious decision to be a whore. Many other whores don’t have the choice but Vance has conservative values, ergo an easy choice for him.

The shine went off him when, at a Concert he remarked that,” Clinton was taking his money in taxes!”

His voice is something else, but politics at a concert. I never went to another one.

Vance is a total moron, and so are the people who voted for him, but what else is new?

I hear this bullshit all the time, and that's all it is...bullshit. You never hear any details.

Yeah, Trump's border policy of separating children from their families (and selling the children off to the highest white bidder) was extremely popular with the white fascists.

Trump's denial of the reality of Covid was a truly awesome policy, incredibly good for this country, except for the million or so who have died from the disease.

Trump's tax cut for the rich was so incredibly good for this country, especially the wealthy that the GOP caters to.

Moving the US embassy in Israel? Oh, hugely good for this country. Not sure why.

Space Force? Incredibly good. After all, NASA is full of communists.

Backing Putin over our own intelligence agencies? Oh, amazingly popular with the fascists.

Replacing Obamacare with Trump's wonderful, better, cheaper healthcare plan? It's only a couple more weeks away.

Ditto with the Infrastructure bill. Couple more weeks. You'll see.

Pulling out of the Paris climate accords? So incredibly good for this country. Not so much for the climate.

Withholding arms from Ukraine until they did his bidding? Really incredibly good, for impeachment.

I can't think of any more incredibly good policies. Anyone? I'll look forward to Vance's "article."

How big of a piece of shit do you have to be to recognize Trump for what he is, and still hook your star to him?
