I am deeply confused by this pick for myriad reasons.

For better or for worse, Vance has almost no political experience. Part of the value of a strong VP is being able to help navigate quagmires (gigity) in the Senate to get the President's agenda passed.

There's a steady supply of interviews, essays and sound bytes from Vance that are highly critical of DJT. That data will be presented ad nauseum between now and November 5th (if there's an election).

I do not see Vance opening up any new demographics that President Trump couldn't already capture himself.

I can see only two scenarios here:

1. There's a reason(s) for this pick that's neither obvious nor public.

2. Vance has a role to play in the interim and is not intended to actually become VP.
