JD Vance and Ukraine: We can say now what Trump wants--and its not good.

Also: Vance is not a bad choice for the Democrats if they can take advantage.

Hello All,

Just some quick thoughts on what the Vance selection means for Ukraine, and the race overall.

JD Vance and Ukraine: We can say now what Trump wants--and its not good

Trump and Vance at the announcement just an hour ago.

So in the end, Trump went full on for MAGA-Loyalty. In selecting JD Vance as his Vice-Presidential running mate, Trump chose someone who has been relentlessly lathering him in praise for years (after spending years despising him). The last few days Vance has been particularly unctuous.

I asked a senior Republican who I’ve been in touch with for years, (he/she is a strong supporter of Ukraine) and they were extremely depressed about the choice—and basically I was told this means Ukraine was “toast” if Trump wins.
