Northwest Ohioans react to Trump picking Sen. Vance as running mate

Trump waiting until the convention to choose a running mate is later than usual for recent cycles but is hardly unprecedented.

JD “Trump is America’s Hitler” Vance 😂

[@OneAndOnlySurge]

The optics of this after the Right accused Left a few days ago of rhetoric is beyond ironic 🤦🏻‍♂️ I literally slapped my face when I heard it was Vance 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Piolin333]

@@OneAndOnlySurge the kid was registered Republican but he wasn't even eligible to vote last presidential election. Heck it doesn't even say if he voted in any election he was just registered. And he did donate a small amount to Democrats when they did the get out the vote thing 4 years ago. So I'm not buying he was a Republican and even if he was he's so young he couldn't have been too politically active if at all.

[@acktuwally]

He most likely registered as Republican to vote for Haley in the primaries. It was a strategy advocated for by multiple Left wing groups to get undeclared voters to undermine Trump.

[@mrcoder7327]

As an independent, you guys are really the only reason why I want to vote Trump. Your fanaticism and brown shirt-like mentality towards a candidate that isn't even as radical as someone like Vivek or RFK is easy judgement towards your character

[@thedizzyunicorn]

@@bohem5568 you have the option to leave. It's not north Korea. Also, you don't magically disappear from your home as a VP. I wish that were true, in a sense, as Harris is a cancer that wouldn't be missed here. Ask the thousands of black dudes she locked up in prison for weed here how much they hate her.

[@thedizzyunicorn]

The best person campaigning for trump is unavailable due to the fact that he's currently the president of the United States.

[@OneAndOnlySurge]

Trump didn't pick him. He was told to pick him by the people behind the scene. Trump sold out BIG time

[@ApolloRacer]

Vance is a big phony. I don't care if he SAYS he's changed, no one pulls that complete a 180 from being a never-Trumper to being a Trump brown-noser. It sickens me more that the political expert said Trump already has Ohio; I guess that means no one in this state has to vote if it's such a guarantee.

[@jesse_-]

You obviously have no clue. Try to understand people better.

[@OneAndOnlySurge]

Vance even called the people that voted for Trump "idiots" 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@AbominationalFailure]

JD is a fascist. Fascists don't have principles, they say and do whatever they think will advance them politically. The only thing they believe in is gaining more power.

[@lijoythistle4127]

So this station interviewed two people and let's believe they did randomly....and they both will say the same comment and will not come out and vote? Like give me a break! With millions of Americans in America, the opinions of the two will be the voice of the American people? This is why media is no longer trusted by most smart people. Thanks God we have vloggers and Podcasters and live stream news so we actually see and balance our own understanding and conclusions to issues.

[@ruthmontes514]

[@AbominationalFailure]

Vance was a terrible pick. He doesn't deverisfy Trump's portfolio at all, all he does is double down on everything cheeto already represents.

[@ShelbyRadar-hb7tj]

Why this guy, especially after listening to the interview between him and Rachel, where he proclaimed he was a "never Trumper" and other things that concerning. DJT is an extremely smart, talented, exceptional leader and the greatest president ever. He is my president regardless of my skepticism of his VP potential being a RINO like Pence and Nikki. DJT 2016-2024.

[@AbominationalFailure]

Because JD has no principles. He will adapt himself to whatever he thinks will give him the most power. It's a pretty common thing among fascists, which he is. You can't support Project 2025 and not be a fascist.
