Vance, Huh?

Why on earth would Donald Trump choose someone like JD Vance as his running mate?

Vance is a serial exaggerator, a hypocrite, a narcissistic manipulator, and corrupt, so why would Trump  ……… Oh, now I get it.

It's like he is running with the son he never had, because no one in their right mind would run with the sons that he DOES have:

Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio, Donald J. Trump’s newly chosen running mate, has made a shift from the Trump critic he was when he first entered politics to the loyalist he is today. It was a shift both in style and substance: Now, on topics as disparate as trade and Ukraine, Mr. Vance is closely aligned with Mr. Trump.

In some ways, Vance may be worse than Trump, because he is in the pocket of literal vampire Peter Thiel.
