Yes, Vance said he was brain washed by the liberal media like many I know, but then he oped his eyes and being Unburdened by the past can see a better future.

I'm glad you asked because I imagine you have your finger on the trigger to post Harris' passive aggressive statement toward Biden during the debates that she doesn't think he's racist, but... You did a whole bunch of racist things. I find it funny that she'd offer that amount of civility to Biden as most of the Democrat Leaders have no problem essentially calling not only Trump, but pretty much all of the Republican party racist outright.

The point I was trying to make however, is that Harris was no fan of Biden either and spoke out against him constantly during the primaries. Like Vance, she is entitled to change her mind and we can all speculate whether it was out of convenience, a quest for power, or that she truly supported him as a candidate. The word I hear reported about insiders, is that they don't really care for each other much. But I really don't care about their squabbles or know if any of its accurate. They are both disasters.

Yes, Vance did come out against Trump, as did I back in 2016. You've pointed out nothing new and even the right leaning media sources have been clear about pointing it out. Feel free to go through my profile and see what I said about Trump in the beginning. I did not care for him as a leader or a candidate. Throughout his term I was frustrated with his rhetoric and his inability to let some things go. However, in the end I did see results in areas I never thought would be possible from him, so I will give credit where credit is due. I imagine Vance has seen the same and has reconsidered his position on Trump. Furthermore, I (and possibly Vance as well) have also observed what appears to be a very different Trump lately, in that he has been holding back and allowing his surrogates to take on some of the political battles. He has become more disciplined and polished while I've watched practically the entire Democrat party fall apart and panic (rightfully so).

As the choice for VP was pending, I took it upon myself to learn more about each of the likely candidates, and I decided to read Vance's book (I highly recommend that you do as well... It's not political in any sense). I wanted to better understand where he comes from and the experiences he's come across. Having done so, I find it to be hilarious to see the Democrat Pundits not only point to Vance's initial opinions about Trump, but that they are also calling him a Trump "mini-me". Pick a consistent message folks! Never mind the fact that Vance is a 100% self-made man, a Marine, and someone has had to work his way out of the Rust Belt to become more educated and even find his way into an Ivy League school. Tell me, how is Vance's life and experiences similar to Trump?

So, you can go on to try and taunt/criticize Trump's choice in VP and fail to understand how we can actually find common ground within the GOP for now. All while never realizing that Vance, and many of the people like me, who were never excited about Trump, have mostly concluded Trump can win this election, and that he will deliver on many of the shared views and promises we desire. I will gladly take that over what I see currently as the worst President in this nation's history. Pending any real game changing surprises, another Trump term is going to happen. Have fun with your baseless memes, taunts, and criticisms. I'm sure your echo chamber will continue to support you and post the obligatory anti-Trump, GOP is all bad, and soon to come... "Vance is evil and worse than even Trump" statements.
