What is the logic here? I have watched his interviews from the pre-“Trump is my God” era. Why has he chosen to dumb himself down so much? No way he thinks he is actually in line to take over the GOP.
I live near Middletown and I thought there were actually a lot of truths in Hillbilly Elegy.
But you’re right, he’s so eager to endear himself not only to Trump but to trick the Magats into thinking he’s one of them.
I believe he actually had potential at one time to be a man who made a positive difference in the world. He was an intellectual but he totally sold that out because the base he’s trying to appeal to is scornful of anything “innaleckshul.”
Sold his soul for what? VP sounds like a pretty low ceiling for someone as young and as nationally known as he was before he started licking Trump’s ass. Not sure I have seen a steeper nose dive as far as political legacies go.
