I may have said it before, but it deserves to be repeated. JD Vance was a perfect choice for Donald Trump as his running mate. Both men are brilliant but very different in their communication styles. Trump is brash and speaks his mind with no filter. Vance needs no filter. He is quick on his feet and can deliver a counterpunch with a calm, measured tone that cuts right through the other person in the conversation. Vance can push back without appearing rude and believes in all the Trump positions. When he is defending one of the Republican platforms, he does so with confidence because he speaks from his heart and mind. He is not faking his support for Trump. He is genuinely on board with Trump.

A perfect example was his interview on Sunday with Martha Raddatz of ABC News. Vance was attempting to explain Trump’s comments about Venezuelan gangs that had terrorized Aurora, Colorado, by taking over entire apartment complexes and forcing out the rightful residents. Raddatz interrupted Vance’s statement, saying she wanted to give the facts according to her interpretation. Raddatz noted that Aurora had not been totally invaded, and according to the Aurora Mayor, it was only a few apartment complexes. She then wanted to move on. This is where JD Vance pushed back on Raddatz’s comment.

“Only, Martha, do you hear yourself?” asked Vance, 40, visibly taken aback by the reporter’s objection. “Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris’ open border?”

Raddatz was surprised that Vance called her about her fact-checking and erroneous and outrageous statement. She continued to defend her position in an attempt to diffuse Vance’s offense.

The Democrat’s foolishness continued on Monday when the VP went off the rails. She accused Trump and his campaign of hiding the Former President. Seriously, what planet is this woman living on? She accused Trump of refusing the release his medical and tax records. She called him lazy and lacking energy. She claims he is unfit for the office. This is not a parody, though it is more parody than newsworthy.

These accusations come from a woman, a VP, who worked closely with Joe Biden for nearly four years and was complicit in hiding Joe Biden’s mental and physical maladies from the American people until she pulled off a coup to wrench the nomination from the President. Trump is doing a rally every day, sometimes two events in a day. He has been shot and had two, possibly three, assassination attempts on his life and hasn’t missed an event.

The Democrats and mainstream media may eat this bogus talk, but intelligent, knowing people see right through it for what it is. These outrageous moments are hail Mary’s for a flailing campaign. Every poll shows Harris is tanking and the momentum is in Trump’s favor. Trump is making the right moves with Vance, Musk, and Gabbard. He has a tremendous crew of spokesmen with Rick, and Tim Scott, and Byron Donalds.

The Joy and Vibe campaign is crashing now that people are pressing for facts, not Kumbya. She and shotgun-toting Tim are stumbling to finish, and with three weeks to go, it is Trump’s to lose.
