    I think the country is starting to value competence over gender or color.

        The Vance pick was definitely the final nail in the coffin of Reaganism.

        Welcome to the new GOP.

          In what specific ways is Vance like Bernie again?

          Education is extremely important.

            Oh all I'm saying is if Trump/Vance wins this election, it'll be Vance that leads the GOP ticket in 2028. Like... without a doubt in the world.

              Vance is very much pro government intervention in trade/business. Big regulation guy. Also pro-union and anti-free market. Wall St is the boogeyman, and he not only wants trade tariffs against China and Russia, he wants trade tariffs against every other country. His current views are counter to the very principles he espoused in his book.

                Did you get all of this from his convention speech or is there other info I can peruse?

                  From the speech as well as multiple other sources.

                  Shapiro has done a few nice breakdowns on Vance’s policies, but he’s trying to be polite about his disagreements with Vance, but he’s detailed some of it.

                    Written another way, I think Vance is pro-jobs and pro- made in America.

                      We're in a different place than we were under Reagan. Nippon steel is trying to buy U.S. Steel. We are dependent on foreign nations for our computer chips, energy and raw materials.

                      Strategically, we suck.

                      We've got to do something. I'm open to suggestions.

                        I think where there are similarities are things like deregulation in many areas, tax cuts, lessening of government intrusion in many areas and a rearmed and reformed military.
