Not surprising, Vance was made Trump's VP pick specifically to represent silicon valley interests.

Vance mocked the notion that such campaigns could derail elections. "If your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars from a foreign country, then it wasn’t very strong to begin with."

Vance is more dangerous than Trump. He has clear goals and knows what language to use to hide them.

EU needs to grow a backbone and stop thinking they can go back to the good ol' days of being America's lapdog against Russia

From what I've seen, Vance also appears to be far more intelligent than either Trump or Musk.

He definitely feels more like what people were saying Ron Desantis would be like. I think his main weakness (politically speaking) is he's not very charismatic, but it didnt matter since he ran on the Trump ticket which doesnt require him to be charismatic.

The fact that he's young and articulate goes a long way when you look at what the dems are fielding.

Republicans like him also have the advantage that they don't have to lie and bullshit to the extent that Democrats do. Pretending to be progressive is hard when you are a racist genociders and "tax rebate for black businessmen investing in crypto" schemes don't go very far.

Exactly, he can just be himself and that works with his demographic.

The couch-fucker attack won't even matter that much if Trump dies quickly enough.
