    Silicon valley money. Hundreds of millions of dollars in dark money basically, and a lot of power brokers in tech working behind the scenes for the campaign.

    He brings nothing from a “fill the gap” stance because he’s exactly like Trump, but less addled by age. The pick was stupid from that perspective but if you’re money hungry, he brought it.

      I disagree, what he brings is obedience. Trump is a wildcard, Pence believed in America or at least that he might lose an attempted coup, but Vance does as he’s told and can change his behavior. He clearly doesn’t believe in anything but not in a chaotic way, more of a “I’ll believe what you tell me to” way.

        I’m talking electorally, mainly. Pence brought the evangelicals to Trump. Walz brings the Midwest and white men to Harris. Vance brings nothing.
