Tweet deleted by JD Vance when he ran for Senate:

“Trump makes people I care about afraid. Immigrants, Muslims, etc. Because of this I find him reprehensible. God wants better of us.” pic.twitter.com/FlMGy4fMRd

Vance is an unusual choice in that he brings nothing at all to the ticket.

I’m at the RNC in Milwaukee.

I got to watch a thousand MAGAs deflate in real time when the JD Vance announcement was made.

Already worth the trip.

Has there ever been a veepstakes as groveling and self-abasing as Trump’s this year? Vance certainly won that. Gross

Former congressman Joe Walsh – whose Trump journey has been the reverse of Vance’s – had this to add.

I do not care who Trump’s VP pick is. Three-and-a half yrs ago, Donald Trump tried to overthrow an American election. A healthy political party would have made him a pariah.

I don’t care who is VP pick is. I will not normalize him. I just won’t.
