      Interesting. As with any candidate itโ€™s how do they stand up. Hillbilly goes to Yale in the 2000โ€™s. Highly differentiated story.

      I was so surprised when John Glenn failed so spectacularly as a presidential candidate.

        Mr. Vance is likely to do better than Mr. Glenn.

        I just watched the Hillbilly Elegy. It's not much fun.

        I don't think the movie will hurt Mr. Vance in this election.

        I'm not sure it will help either.

          Agreed. I found the book profoundly depressing, despite Vance's story of success.

          Will it move the needle? Just might.

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
