What a brilliant move by Trump. Picking J. D. Vance as his vice president actually makes me hope that if he is elected president, Trump won’t die.
Mitt Romney read Vance’s book Hillbilly Elegy and was so impressed he met with Vance in person. Romney thought Vance was bright and thoughtful and would have insights into how to attract working class voters to the Republican Party.
In 2021, when Vance decided to run for the Senate, his reinvention was immediate and total, becoming a Trump sycophant overnight. Vance actually accused Biden of manufacturing the opioid crisis “to punish people who didn’t vote for him.”
In an interview published in The Atlantic Romney said of Vance, “I don’t know that I can disrespect someone more than J. D. Vance.” If you are aware of some of the characters serving in the U.S. Senate, that is a sobering statement.
