    Cabinet is a good place for Ramaswamy. He’s a bright guy, even if no one thinks more of him than him. I cannot see Vance as a heartbeat away from the presidency and I don’t think he even assures Ohio. As far as I can tell he’s been a rather undistinguished senator.

      He's only been senator for two years. That's no place for a jumping-off spot to the #2 in the country, right?

          Vance may be the most loyal and controllable of the potential candidates. His alleged referencing of Trump as the "American Hitler" may haunt him a bit, but a lot of potential candidates expressed similar disparagements before they saw the light.

              Not unusual however.

                  The politics of the right are changing, while the politics of the left have been directionally fixed for generations.

                      Mr. Vance was a Marine.

                      That's enough.

                        Maybe he meant it as a compliment.

                          A little disappointed, if true.

                          What does Vance bring to the ticket?

                          J.D. Vance is a good-sounding name. It has a nice ring to it. Not as good as Cyrus, admittedly, but still pretty cool sounding.

                          You probably think I'm kidding, but I'm not. Well, OK, maybe I am.
