Vance turned in one of the best Republican debate performances I've ever seen.
On Tuesday night, Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance turned in a stellar debate performance while Tim Walz fell flat on his face like the sitcom clown dad that he is.
The expectations for Vance were very high; he had to overcome that bar.
And he did it with alacrity.
Vance turned in one of the best Republican debate performances I’ve ever seen. The only one of the 21st century that even comes close to matching it was Mitt Romney’s first debate performance against Barack Obama.
In terms of optics, Vance accomplished his mission. His mission was to create a palatable method for swing voters to look at the Trump-Vance ticket and not see chaos.
