Vance was chosen because he was Peter Thiel's fuckboi and Thiel wanted an in on Trump's power, while Trump wanted an in on Thiel's money/silicon valley political connections. Vance is great because 1) he's no threat to Trump, so Trump is happy, but 2) he's loyal to Thiel and if Trump dies he'll become Thiel's pet president by default.

    When Trump was playing his game of picking a VP, Theil literally walked Vance into Maralago and had meeting with Trump. They walked out of the meeting with Vance as VP.

    We know who both Trump and Theil are, so we know that money certainly changed hands, and now Theil holds the leash on the second highest office n the land.
