Charlie Kirk is a big fan of J.D. Vance and has posted positive videos about him for at least a year. He gave his name to a convention running a straw poll hosted by Turning Point Action. Vance won the poll against three other candidates, and under 2,000 people voted.
I don’t know if the poll only included these three candidates listed in the X post below.
In any case, straw polls are worthless, but this one is getting some traction online. It’s intended to influence.
If you’re interested, Politico has a list of possible candidates and how they can hurt Donald Trump. It’s on this link.
There are a lot of other candidates: former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson. Also mentioned at times is former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. However, constitutionally, he allegedly can’t pick from anyone in Florida. Some mentioned Mitt Romney, which would be absurd. Ted Cruz was also mentioned.

Vance is a joo shill. Not America First.
Vance would be a great VP; however, I feel Stefanik would be better. She is intelligent, articulate, quick thinking, has Congressional experience, has been an avid Trump supporter and is a bulldog during hearings and interviews. Also, being a woman would help get the women’s vote. I would love to see Stefanik and Harris in a VP debate.
I really want someone outside of Washington right now. Let us keep the seats we got with the people who get elected republican. If we could trust them, we would let them. No republican in DC has shown the will except every now and then. The ones you can trust are on the floor everyday countering the dem narrative of that day. Opps, no one qualifies.
Vance was a Never Trumper and is a trojan horse. While Kari Lake, Byron Donalds, Elise Stefanik are good people they are no way qualified to take over if something were to happen to Trump.
Never Vance
This neocon/RINO Kirk has a big head and is again trying to interfere.He has again blurred the lines, his org has no say so in this.
I see Kirk as an evangelist neocon. I do not see him as a conservative other than on moral issues.
He gets the boots on the ground. He is trying anyway.
When it comes to Trump’s shortlist for VP, Time Scott has shown he is nothing more than a colored version of Lyndsey Graham/ Mitch McConnell, wouldn’t trust the guy as far as I could throw him, Rubio was buddy buddy with Schumer and McCain for a few years, and IMHO when you are that close to evil and corruption there is no way some of it isn’t going to rub off on you,
I think that there are two standout candidates that Trump would never have to fear of them backstabbing him and they are Dr. Ben Carson and Bryon Donalds.
Might be right about Scott. I for one don’t want Rubio near the WH. Bryon Donalds, I like, trouble is we so few actual republicans in the house and senate that vote republican it is hard to take them out and let another rino take the seat again.
My biggest problem with Vance is him being a virulent anti Trumper who has changed his stripes, I wouldn’t trust him anymore than I trusted Pence when he was announced as Trump’s VP in 2016
Given the support of this neocon evangelist Kirk, and the history of Vance, I also would not choose Vance.
This reminds me of 2016, when these types were pushing Cruz, and attacking Trump for not being conservative. Trump is more conservative than Cruz. Kirk and his type present themselves as the standard bearers of conservatism, but they clearly are not.
Seems lots of supposed “conservative” websites are pushing JD Vance. Everybody can change their mind which Vance seems to have done since his anti-Trumper days. I smell a RINO/deep state push with a whiff of Pence – JD Vance quotes, “I’m a never Trump guy. I never liked him. I might have to hold my nose and vote for Hillary Clinton. I didn’t vote for Trump…” Peter Thiel is JD Vance’s primary backer; coincidently Vance had his change of heart right after Thiel became an FBI informant… (CTH)
I also smell that.
charlie lost my respect during last election when he kept telling everyone trump was going to win Arizona and the presidency even after we all watched the steal live..
I think Charlie may be a grifter but maybe not
I find Kirk’s behavior to be suspicious. He is a good talker but he says some suspicious things. Sometimes I could tell he was leading on listeners. Kirk runs an org which relies lots on donations, I can assume lots of that money comes from RINO/neocon sources.
One of the worst things I heard him say in 2021-2022 was that the election was lost due to conservatives not early voting. That is a 100% RINO excuse, and it makes no sense. He also told viewers he did not want to hear anymore about vote fraud. So, he was trying to distract from the election crimes.
Assuming Trump is elected and God-forbid dies in office, I would trust Ben Carson the most as president. To make a bit of a pun, he would be the perfect healer.
