So, Donald Trump picked JD Vance as his running mate for one reason: to make him grovel. He enjoys making former opponents eat a shit pie, preferably in public.
It's not really clear that Mr. Trump believes in anything other than self-aggrandizement. But to the degree a set of policies may be called "Trumpism", Sen. Vance makes the case for them more intelligently than Mr. Trump does: protectionism, tighter immigration, a more Jacksonian foreign policy, hostility towards élites.

I heard that it was so he could get fash tech billionaire money through Vance as a conduit.
Any of the Republicans will grovel for him.
