To the editor:
Donald Trump selected J.D. Vance for vice president despite pushback from critics, who said Vance had been critical of Trump.
Vance had changed his opinion of Trump by 2020 and said so publicly, including by noting that as president Trump had delivered on all accounts.
So much so, that I voted for Trump in 2020; he was the best president in my lifetime. Trump fought for hard-working Americans.
In 2024, Bret Baier asked Vance about his past criticisms regarding Trump. Vance said, "I regret being wrong about the guy."

I'm glad you had the opportunity to vote for the candidate of your choice but you should also know that your "best president in my lifetime" still won't accept that he lost the 2020 election...do you?
JD Vance seems to be more of an opportunist, not a skeptic who's finally seen the light. His comment about "childless cat ladies" tells me a lot about his real positions.
It's also disheartening that so many "hard-working Americans" have missed key details in the former president's positions where he's only saying what he thinks they want to hear and has no real plan to do anything...he's all hat and no cattle. But, please, continue to vote for whomever you please but don't blame Democrats if your "best" and his Republican surrogates truly set this country back 200 years when there was, among other things, no minimum wage, no real work week, no unions, no pensions, and no worker protections.
