Trump missed chance to pick a woman VP. 'Fake hillbilly' JD Vance will make good lap puppy.

Editor's note: Sen. JD Vance of Ohio will speak at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee tonight between 10:30 and 11 p.m. He and wife Usha Vance — a San Francisco native-, live in Cincinnati.

'Fake hillbilly' will make a good lap puppy

I don't believe U.S. Ohio Sen JD Vance will do much to "help Donald Trump reclaim the White House." Trump is capable of doing that all by himself in today's America.

In Vance, Trump would gain a second-in-command lap puppy at best. The "fake hillbilly" who once, appropriately, likened Trump to Hitler, will be only too happy to brandish his born-again bona fides as the person best suited to do absolutely nothing as Trump leads us down the path toward his "retribution."

What was squandered the most was a golden opportunity to select a woman to run as Trump's veep.

There were at least two available who were, of course, not included on his short list of subservient men; two ladies whose qualifications engulf Vance's meager resume.

We will have to wait at least four more years for the Republican Party of Reagan, Bush, Voinovich, Taft, and DeWine to find its way out of the woods.
