VP debate

Vance proved he has what it takes to lead the GOP

The media told us that Trump made a colossal blunder in picking JD Vance, the childless cat lady hater and impostor hillbilly, as his running mate. It sure didn’t seem like it on Tuesday night. Neither he nor Walz had an easy brief — Trump is a polarizing character with a lot of baggage and Harris is a grating, flip-flopping, vacuous empty suit with an unclear agenda and a track record of incompetence. I expected Vance to come out swinging, but was surprised at how deftly he was able to bloody his opponent while remaining calm, collegial and likable at the same time. Its been hard for me to watch Trump debate for a long time now. Sure, he did fine against Biden in July, but that was about as challenging as striking the final blow on a half-shattered piñata.
