Vance?

The 5’7 thing was a very successful troll by someone familiar with SEO.

For the life of me I cannot see why anyone would think Pete, an unpopular mayor of a small city, would be a good president

Or even a mayor of a small city, for that matter.

Oh, wait...he checks an important box.

Interesting. Out on the deck having a discussion with my bride about the crime structure in Middletown when I was growing up and how it differed from today. I wonder how much Vance knows about it since it was before his time.

That’s now. When I was over there it was all mobbed due to the union up so nobody really got too out of line. Now it’s largely street gang related.

Yes we're already long past the point of being educated that one does not have to be white to be a white supremacist. Mostly, in order not to be a white supremacist, you have to vote Democrat. It's a color-blind concept, except for that first word in "white supremacist". That's definitely a color. Other than that, color has nothing to do with it.

Also his book rather (in)famously made the opposite point - that they do it too themselves. Though in Trump’s defense, Vance now in his speeches makes the very opposite point that his book did so that he can blame Biden Harris. No doubt this is where Trump’s impression comes from.

That was my takeaway as well.
