I have to say that I'm liking JD Vance – in fact, he's killing it. Now, I've always liked the guy. I've met him a couple of times and he's not a stiff. He’s a normal human being, as one would expect from an Ohioan (I am one too, despite my California residence for the last half-century). He doesn't have that weird vibe you get from a lot of politicians, that if they take off their suit they'll disappear. The Democrats may think he's weird, or at least claim he is, but that's only because they are weirdos. JD doesn't think that women can become men, nor does he think that socialism is the answer, nor does he create elaborate reasons for dodging his duty – when duty called, JD Vance, unlike Tim Walz, didn't let it go to voicemail. He’s normal. Like us.
Ignore the haters. JD Vance is crushing it as Trump's running mate.
I thought Glenn Youngkin had some advantages over him as far as bringing in regular folks and maybe putting Virginia in play. And while Glenn Youngkin may have been a good advocate, we know JD Vance has been one. Did you see him on the regime media during the last couple weeks? He gets it. He understands how to present himself as a calm, rational, normal person with a mastery of the facts. He also understands what the regime media's job is – not to report the news but to support Democrats and attempt to undermine any arguments the Republicans make. Look what the ridiculous Kristen Welker tried Kamala on the border issue – JD turned her cheesy denial of Kamala's border czar status around on her. It was rhetorical judo, and he got the win.
