I thought Trump would select Glenn Youngkin from Va. He's amazingly smart and can flat out talk. Thought that would give Trump a better chance to take Va and open up another path to defeat Biden. Vance doesn't give Trump anything he didn't already have. Youngkin is very appealing. He is also about 6 foot 7" and that looks great on the stage.
Youngkin is a good guy, but he doesn't measure up to J D Vance as a loyal Trump man. Love a guy as VP who has previous military experience, especially in The Marines.
