One thing that can be said for J.D. Vance: he’s no standard issue Republican like Trump’s last vice president, old what’s-his-face. From Philip Wegmann and Susan Crabtree at realclearwire.com:
MILWAUKEE—Republicans have nominated a hillbilly for vice president. This, by his own admission.
Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance is the author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” a New York Times bestseller. He is also a United States Marine who graduated from Ohio State University and, later, Yale Law School by way of the GI Bill, using the veteran benefit to ascend from the Rust Belt, where he has said poverty was a birthright, to Silicon Valley, where his financial disclosure forms reveal that he made a small fortune, and from there to the U.S. Senate.
Vance, only 39, has lived the American Dream in a hurry, a life portrayed in a biopic directed by Oscar-winning director Ron Howard, no less. Now he writes the next chapter of his life, and American history, as the vanguard of a populist conservatism entirely unconcerned with the niceties of long-established GOP orthodoxy.
He may well be the Republican future, one not entirely welcomed by the old guard. All the same, or perhaps as a result, Vance is a man after Donald Trump’s own heart.
The former president and presumptive three-time Republican presidential nominee announced Monday that Vance would join him atop the ticket, saying his new No. 2 would focus on the voters “he fought so brilliantly for” in the Senate, namely “the American Workers and Farmers.” The junior senator from Ohio has served in that body for all of a year and a half.
His story is similar to Bathhouse Barry (THE ONE!) were some skids greased?
An extended remix of bomb bomb Iran?
Don Jr. is behind this pick?
He has used several names and I’m sure Bolshevik enemedia maggots will love that.
Ahh yes those flyover land rubes that politicians love so much…on (s) election day.
Only in the shining turd beacon in the swamp can you go from deplorable kulak untermenschen peasant to vpeezy of the steezy. (s/)
After all we ain’t got no class system. (rimshot)
