Vance served for our country. Family life like others. Put his in writing and a movie.

He wanted someone relatively young (as far as presidents go) and someone who would do whatever he says. Which, to be fair, the latter is pretty easy to find
I don't think Trump wanted Vance. Theil has power over him.
A great criteria for selecting a VP.....not!
I take it you too think he's a bad pick.
He got that part correct!
