The former congressmen from Penn does not fully understand the movement of the party previously controlled by old school Republicans.

JD Vance is the most logical choice. I hope Trump shares his cabinet picks and he moves quick on day one to get them confirmed and on the job. This time around he has experience that should serve him well.

MSDNC is slowly ramping the woke hate back up.

Hillbilly Elegy - great flic

Read about JD Vance:

Vance describes his upbringing and family background while growing up in Middletown, Ohio. He writes about a family history of poverty and low-paying, physical jobs that have since disappeared or worsened in their guarantees, and compares this life with his perspective after leaving it.

Though Vance was raised in Middletown, his mother and her family were from Breathitt County, Kentucky. Their Appalachian values include traits like loyalty and love of country despite social issues, including violence and verbal abuse. He recounts his grandparents' alcoholism and abuse and his unstable mother's history of drug addictions and failed relationships. Vance's grandparents eventually reconciled and became his de facto guardians. His strict but loving grandmother pushed him, and eventually, Vance was able to leave Middletown to attend Ohio State University and Yale Law School.[2]

Alongside his personal history, Vance raises questions about the responsibility of his family and people for their misfortune. Vance blames hillbilly culture and its supposed encouragement of social rot. Comparatively, he feels that economic insecurity plays a much lesser role. To lend credence to his argument, Vance regularly relies on personal experience. As a grocery store checkout cashier, he watched welfare recipients talk on cell phones, although the working Vance could not afford one. His resentment of those who seemed to profit from poor behavior while he struggled, especially combined with his values of personal responsibility and tough love, is presented as a microcosm of the reason for Appalachia's overall political swing from strong Democratic Party to strong Republican affiliations. Likewise, he recounts stories intended to showcase a lack of work ethic, including the story of a man who quit after expressing dislike over his job's hours and posted to social media about the "Obama economy", as well as a co-worker, with a pregnant girlfriend, who would skip work.[2]

Tapper is such a tool, Vance kept his cool, and he also answered the questions and didn’t drift off into a pre rehearsed, unrelated, recycled paragraph about being raised in a middle class family or stating some word salad about undoing the burden of what has been, or the significance of time being significant instead of directly answering the question. You don’t shake your head and ask, what the F did that have to do with the question like when Kamala attempts to answer a question. Tapper was pissed that he couldn’t control Vance and push his view that Trump was a fascist dictator. Vance debunked all that and kept calm the whole time.
How come we’ve never seen questions like these thrown at Harris or Walz?
